Episode 32: Mindtrash, Other People’s Opinions & The Plague of Self-Consciousness
I recently asked this question of female business owners: “What is the biggest mind-trash thinking you come up against in your business that you’d love to work through?”
And the number one mindtrash thinking that came up was about other people. Answers were things like: "Other people are better than me" "What will other people think if I do x y and x?" "I don’t think what I have is of value compared to other people in my industry" Other people other people other people...
So In this episode I'm going to break down how this is both a) totally reasonable and b) something we can move through not let it rob us of time, energy or creativity and brave action.
I hope this episode brings you a bit of comfort for when other peoples opinions or the plague of self-consciousness arises within you on your creative or business building journey.
I also want to let you know that I am opening the invitation for women in business to join me for my 8 month Accelerator Programme that begins in mid-March. This is an invitation to journey with me over the next 8 months to be supported as a business owner; expand your self-belief, make courageous decisions, learn from female experts in business and have the wisdom and warmth of other female business owners by your side. This is the most beautiful mix of strategy and soul-work - an opportunity for you to discover more about yourself, to lean into your feminine and masculine energy and let that inform how you run your business so it can be both purposeful and profitable. The link to find out about the accelerator and have a chat with me about it is here!
Thank you as always for listening - if you have anything to share on this or want to chat more - you can always reach out to me on email hello@melwiggins.com or shimmy on into my DM's on IG @ melwiggins.
