Are Your Self-Limiting Beliefs Holding You Back from Business Success?

Nina is a virtual assistant that’s been working at home for two years. She has a steady client load but she’s getting restless. She loves her clients but she also wants to launch her own product line so she can have a source of repeat income and spend more time with her family. She’s done her research and she knows what type of product her community would love.

But Nina starts listening to her critical inner voice. She struggles with thoughts like, “I don’t know where to start. Who would listen to me anyway? I don’t have enough experience to be teaching this yet. I need to take more courses/join more groups/get more coaching first.”

Before she knows it, Nina’s scrapped her entire project. She tells herself that she’s going to master just one more thing before getting started on her product. 

A Life You Love Is Waiting For You

You can probably relate to Nina’s struggle. You’re ready to start that diet and exercise program or launch your new product or start that podcast but then you hear the same critical inner voice that Nina does. 

Imagine having the confidence you need to step into your full potential. Imagine owning your experience and building a business and life that you love. Imagine meeting every obstacle head-on with plenty of confidence to spare. 

Become Who You Were Meant to Be

You have the potential to accomplish all of your personal and business goals. But you let self-limiting beliefs hold you back, so you keep playing small. You work with clients that don’t pay you what you’re worth. You don’t publish that book because you think you don’t have enough experience. You don’t partner with a business coach because you think you’re not important enough.

You keep listening to these lies, replaying them like a beloved song. You do this, not because you love being stuck, but because being stuck feels safer than going after what you really want.

Self-sabotage is the playground bully that keeps pushing you around and it’s time that you get angry. It’s time that you stop listening to his taunts and insults. It’s time that you take back your power and become the person you were meant to be.

You can build a business that you adore, one that nurtures your soul and pays your bills. But first, you have to tackle the self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back. Don’t be afraid—your best life is waiting for you on the other side.

Journal Your Thoughts

1. Create a bucket list of 10 things you would like to accomplish in your personal and professional life within a year.

2. List what could potentially keep you from accomplishing these things.

3. Do any of the reasons you listed in question #2 sound like self-limiting beliefs? What are some ways these beliefs keep you playing small in business and in life?
