You're not alone. As a business coach and hypnotherapist, I've seen countless high-achievers fall into the trap of overly ambitious planning. In this eye-opening episode, we explore why our goal-setting efforts often fall short and how to bridge the gap between intention and action. I'll share insights from my work with clients to help you understand the disconnect between your conscious and subconscious mind when tackling new challenges. We often approach new goals with the mindset of an expert, creating detailed plans based on ideal outcomes. But here's the catch - our subconscious doesn't operate on logic. It works on patterns, emotions, and automation. This mismatch leads to self-sabotage and frustration. Key Takeaways: * Understand why New Year's resolutions often fail * Learn to differentiate between outcome plans and starting plans * Discover how to work with both your conscious and subconscious mind I'll introduce you to a powerful strategy that has worked wonders for my clients: * Create your "expert" plan - the ideal outcome * Develop a realistic starting plan as a beginner By acknowledging your current skill level and capacity, you set yourself up for sustainable progress and success. Practical Tips: * Set a 90-120 day timeframe for building new habits and skills * Start with low-pressure goals to build momentum * Embrace the learning process and allow for mistakes Remember, whether you're aiming to transform your body, launch a new business venture, or master a new skill, progress takes time. By aligning your conscious goals with your subconscious patterns, you can create lasting change and achieve what you once thought impossible. Ready to revolutionize your approach to goal-setting?

Picture revving your car's engine with the handbrake engaged. That's exactly what you're doing to your business when you try to push through resistance. It's exhausting, ineffective, and ultimately destructive. But there's good news: once you understand the true nature of resistance, you can use it as a compass pointing directly towards your next breakthrough. Are you ready to stop spinning your wheels and start gaining real traction? "What if resistance isn't holding you back, but moving you forward?"

"You're not ready," it says. "You'll just embarrass yourself." Have you ever let that voice keep you from pursuing a goal or trying something new? Well, it's time to silence that inner critic once and for all. In this insightful episode, I examine the self-sabotaging mindsets that prevent us from demanding more from ourselves. Drawing from my experiences training aspiring hypnotherapists, I reveal the common fears and hesitations when students start practicing their skills. It's a pattern many of us can relate to—that overwhelming desire to have everything perfectly figured out before we even begin. But as I state, "You're not here to know. You're here to learn." Just like a child learning to walk and talk, embracing a beginner's mindset is crucial for growth. You can break through the barriers holding you back by tuning into your self-talk and reframing limiting beliefs. Here's what you'll gain: * Strategies for identifying the gap between your intentions and actions * Techniques for changing the disempowering questions in your mind * Tips for cultivating self-compassion through supportive inner dialogue * Insights on overcoming the fear of imperfection to accelerate learning Because life is a journey - not a destination, it's about allowing yourself to be a lifelong student, open to stumbling and making mistakes. As Igor asks, "What would you do differently if you knew you could not fail?” So, get curious about that area of your life or business that needs growth. What's one small step you can take today to start demanding more from yourself? The path to demanding more from yourself begins with hitting play.
