Summary

If you’re anything like me...or if you're just human...you have faced your share of challenges and fears in the process of growing your own business. That might not be so bad, if we could all solve those challenges by simply trading stories. But no two people's challenges and fears are alike! The reason our challenges are so unique is because our minds are. Unique, that is. Struggles and fears originate in your brain, and how it processes whatever you're dealing with, from one day to the next. That's why one day you can be flying high, confident and on top of your game, and the next day you're sunk into despair, wondering how you got into this mess and whether it's too late to get out. As I've said before, the real key to every aspect of growing your business is CONFIDENCE. And we all need a little help with confidence sometimes. That's what today's post is all about--getting your head "unstuck," learning how to move forward with purpose even when you're struggling, and using each day to take the action you want. That's why I invited my personal business coach Todd Herman to join me in today's podcast episode. He's a bit of a legend when it comes to performance mentality; big-deal people come to him for help with achieving mastery and improving performance. I'm talking Olympic athletes, corporate billionaires, members of international royalty...plus thousands of online entrepreneurs just like me. Todd is all about action, productivity and results…which is exactly what I need for my business right now. To put it simply, he helps people perform so that their vision and what they do matches up. I have to tell you, this Q&A with Todd is a landmark episode for me. Lots of listeners sent in their questions about improving performance for Todd to answer right here on the show. His answers will blow you away; in fact, even my editor told me that this is the most insightful podcast episode I'd ever done. Honestly, there's just too much great stuff to list in a single blog post, so why don't you click the play button at the top of the post to listen right now? Trust me--this is stuff you're going to want to hear. Also, I'm offering as today's "freebie" a special task-tracker that Todd gave me to use as part of improving my professional performance and guide my daily actions. It's called an Entrepreneurial Scorecard, and it's a simple, one-sheet tool that has been rocking my world ever since I started using it.

0:41.3

and the actions that you need to take to build your business, which I can talk about that stuff

all day long, I love it. We're actually going to instead talk about the mindset of an entrepreneur.

Now, if you're anything like me or if you're human, let's just get down to the basics.

business. We all face those fears and challenges. Some are different than others. Of course,

1:11.1

I might have one challenge that you've totally mastered and you might be struggling with something

1:15.1

in that head of yours that you're thinking, this is going to hold me back. We're all very different.

1:20.3

But I will say there are some really common challenges and fears that I hear come up a lot.

endearing because over 60 people gave honest and genuine answers about some of the fears and

1:46.2

challenges they've been facing in their business. And you could hear almost the angst in those

1:52.1

concerns and those challenges. And my heart went out to them because I've so been there. I know what
