We’re talking about one of my favorite things to talk about when discussing business. And that is MINDSET! When I first started my business 10 years ago, mindset was not even a blip on my radar. No one was talking about it. And if they had talked about it, I would’ve thought it was ridiculous. I would have thought mindset has nothing to do with running a business. How wrong was I! Nowadays, mindset has become a bit of a buzzword—it’s everywhere you look. But I’m here to tell you why there are valid reasons it has become so popular and why it needs to be the foundation of your business.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about the following:

• 02:21 – What mindset is and isn’t
• 05:46 – Why mindset is super important when starting and running your business
• 08:23 – My favorite—the TEARA process! What it is and how to use it to shift your mindset
• 13:14 – I’ll walk you through an example of the TEARA process so you can start implementing it TODAY
