RS333 - From Employee to Entrepreneur: 5 mindset traps keeping you stuck

Explore why shifting to independent work is often more about unlearning than learning. Discover the five mindset traps that may be keeping you from thriving and gain five valuable tips to embrace autonomy, confidence, and true ownership of your business. Whether you're a solopreneur, coach, speaker, or consultant, this episode offers insights to help you redefine success and build the business you truly love.

Key takeaways:

• Unlearning the Employee Identity: Transitioning to independent work requires more than setting up a business; it involves unlearning deeply rooted employee mindsets like seeking validation and overvaluing credentials.

• Mindset Traps to Avoid:

  • Needing Permission: Recognise your authority and the freedom of decision-making that comes with being a business owner.

  • Overvaluing Credentials: Focus on the results you deliver rather than collecting degrees and certifications.

  • Charging for Effort vs Outcomes: Shift your pricing model to reflect the results you provide, not just the hours you put in.

• Embrace New Mindset Habits:

  • Regard uncertainty as a normal part of business, make faster decisions, and adopt a test-and-learn approach.

  • Detach your self-worth from business outcomes, understanding that challenges often arise due to external factors.
