In Episode 162 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we’re wrapping up the Six-Figure Summer Business School with a mic-drop moment. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing the success you want, this is your wake-up call. Because spoiler alert: your strategy isn’t the problem. Your mindset, identity, and the stories you keep telling yourself? That’s the real culprit.

We’re digging deep into the hidden habits and limiting beliefs that quietly sabotage your success, even when you’ve got the right game plan. From playing small and staying safe to waiting for someone else to give you permission to go big, this episode is packed with tough love, personal stories, and actionable perspective shifts to finally break through. Because guess what? You can’t build a six-figure business with a two-figure mindset.

If you’re ready to stop watering down your potential and start making bold moves like the CEO you want to be, this episode is your permission slip.
