The 2000 Lesson: Why Fear of Loss is Holding You Back


Listen Later

235 – Have you ever hesitated to ask for what you really want—because you were too focused on what you might lose? Whether it’s upgrading your career, taking a bold step, or simply asking for something better, fear of loss can quietly hold you back from the opportunities you desire.

In this episode, I’m sharing a $2000 lesson we learned on a recent trip to Mexico—one that revealed how focusing on what you could lose can prevent you from gaining so much more. This mindset shift applies to your career, relationships, and life, and it just might be the key to unlocking new opportunities.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🔹 How fear of loss shows up in your decisions—and keeps you from the opportunities you want

🔹 The power of curiosity and asking for what you desire (and how it can open doors you didn’t expect)

🔹 Where you might be letting fear hold you back in your career—and practical ways to shift your focus to what you can gain

🔹 Why embracing a "why not ask?" mindset leads to more possibilities in life and work

👉 Also—I’m interviewing people who feel unfulfilled in their careers and worry it's affecting how they show up at home. If that’s you, let’s talk.

💡 In exchange for your insights, I’ll share personalized advice to help you move closer to a career and life that feels aligned—nothing to sell, just a real conversation to help me intentionally design my next career alignment program.
