Manage episode 505311661 series 3490199
This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast poses a powerful question to kickstart your biggest goals: "If you knew you couldn't fail and wouldn't be judged, what's the one thing you would do today?"
Randy and Greg use this thought experiment to dissect the self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and fear of judgment that paralyze us.
The conversation evolves into a real-time coaching session where Greg shares his entrepreneurial dream of starting a coaching business and the internal resistance holding him back.
Listeners will get a transparent look at how to identify limiting beliefs, the importance of taking small, initial steps to build momentum, and the power of aligning your actions with your authentic self to find true fulfillment.
Key Takeaways:
- The question "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" is a powerful tool to bypass your inner critic and identify your true desires.
- Self-doubt and limiting beliefs (e.g., "Why would someone hire me?") are the primary obstacles preventing us from taking action, not a lack of resources or skill.
- You don't need to know every step of the journey to begin. The first step is to simply start and trust that the right people and resources will appear.
- To overcome the overwhelm of a big goal, break it down into the smallest possible action you can take today.
- The feeling of joy and fulfillment is a strong indicator that you are on the right path and aligned with your purpose.
- Leveraging your innate skills (like networking and listening) can provide a unique angle for a new venture you're passionate about.
- Sharing your goals with a trusted inner circle can provide clarity, encouragement, and the "kick in the butt" needed to get started.
