- Reluctant entrepreneurs
- Mindset is an outcome
- Not feeling good enough

- Where are you getting your beliefs from, and are they serving you
“Is what I’m thinking, feeling, believing and doing bringing me closer or further to who I want to be and what I want to create in the world”.

- Confirmation bias
- Burnout
- Resistance Paradox
You may have heard the saying, what got you here won't get you there. But, what got you here is now going to hold you back from what you need to do and who you need to be to get to the next step.

When you devalue your service, you’re devaluing the patient's benefit and limiting the effectiveness. The placebo of value is real.
