I’m a trained counselor- why is mindset the last thing I worry about in working with business owners?

Mindset only matters if it is getting in your way.

All of us believe a certain number of irrational, weird things.

It doesn’t matter, until you are trying to create something where it matters.

When you are creating something, you need a clear picture of the end result, skills, resources, and willingness to stick through the unpleasant parts.

A big chunk of things we want can be created without changing the way we think.

And

The sign that something in your patterns of thought needs to change is when it becomes more and more difficult to move towards what you want.

Names for this are “laziness”, “procrastination”, “resistance”, “self-sabotage” or “bright shiny object syndrome.”

That’s when we need to look at what’s going on.

Not dive into your childhood, but look at current reality.

What’s going on, and what is the why behind it?

Thankfully, I’ve worked on the skills to do this without making someone bad or wrong.

You believe something is true until you don’t.

There is no need to go mindset hunting, if it matters it will show up.

And then we will get past it.
