The biggest obstacle holding back your brand
isn't strategy, marketing oreven visibility.
It's your mindset.
Believe me, I've been there,doubting my worth, hesitating to
show up, nearly walking away,but the moment I shifted how I
thought about myself and mybrand, everything transformed.
Today, I'll share how yourmindset shapes your brand's
(00:22):
growth and why consistency isyour ultimate superpower.
Hey y'all, welcome back toLiving the Whole Picture, the
podcast for ambitious womenready to elevate their

of their brand.
I'm your host, Jama Pantel, aluxury portrait photographer,
author, educator, influencer anddream chaser.
Here to help you master yourbrand presence and show up
(00:45):
authentically with confidence.
Each week, we'll dive intotopics to help you shine in
business and in life, so you canstop hesitating and start
showing up like the leader youwere meant to be.
If you've ever struggled withconfidence on camera or
hesitated to put yourself outthere, this podcast is for you.
Let's get started on living thewhole picture together.
Today's topic is something thatcompletely transformed my own
(01:09):
journey how your mindset shapesyour brand's growth.
If you've ever felt stuck,unsure or overwhelmed, today's
episode is exactly what you need.
Let's jump right in.
So why mindset matters morethan strategy or anything else.
When we think about brand growth, it's easy to jump straight to
strategies, branding, visuals,marketing funnels, ads, all the
(01:33):
things.
Trust me, I've done it.
But here's the truth.
I've learned from experienceWithout the right mindset, even
the best strategies fail.
Your mindset shapes how yourespond to challenges,
opportunities and everything inbetween.
If you believe you're capable,you become unstoppable, but if
you constantly doubt yourself,growth stalls.
(01:56):
Let me get personal here for asecond.
Early in my own photographyjourney, I had all the right
tools, the technical knowledge,the best gear and I knew SEO
backwards and forwards.
But I struggled Deep inside.
I doubted myself, I questionedif people valued what I had to
offer, and that insecurity heldme back big time.
I hesitated on pricing,undercharged and attracted
(02:19):
clients who weren't aligned withme and where I wanted to be.
The turning point came whenDementor challenged me.
She said bluntly the problemisn't your talent, it's how you
see yourself.
You don't fully believe in yourown value, so neither do your
clients Y'all.
That statement hit hard.
She was so right.
(02:39):
I committed right then andthere, to shifting my mindset.
I realized confidence wasn'toptional, it was foundational.
Let's talk about the power ofmindset and consistency.
Your mindset dictates youractions and consistency turns
actions into results.
Here's the simple truth.
(03:00):
Mindset sets the direction.
Consistency gets you there.
When you believe growth isinevitable, you show up
differently.
You don't panic about setbacks.
You learn from them.
You don't constantly secondguess yourself.
You confidently execute.
Consistency isn't aboutperfection.
It's about repeatedly showingup, even on the hard days.
(03:23):
Let's break down exactly howmindset and consistency together
create unstoppable brand growth.
Let's talk about some practicalways to shift your mindset for
growth.
Number one develop a growthmindset.
First, embrace this growthmindset.
This means believing yourtalents can improve through
(03:45):
consistent effort.
Mistakes aren't failures.
They're simply learningopportunities.
I used to dread mistakes.
As the perfectionist I used tobe, I'd obsess over them.
Once I launched a photographymini session that totally
flopped.
Barely anyone booked and itcrushed me initially.
But instead of spiraling, Iforced myself to ask what did I
(04:07):
learn?
It turned out I hadn't marketedmyself effectively enough or
confidently conveyed my value.
When I shifted my approach thenext time, my launch was so much
better.
Number two watch your language,your inner and outer dialogue.
Your words shape your reality.
Pay close attention to whatyou're saying, internally and
(04:30):
externally.
Early on, I'd often catchmyself saying things like I
can't charge that or no onewould pay for that.
Every time I spoke those words,I reinforced my doubts into
reality.
Change the language tosomething empowering, such as I
deliver an exceptional value tomy clients, or my ideal clients.
(04:50):
See and appreciate theexperience that I offer.
It may feel awkward at first,but trust me, it becomes second
nature over time.
Number three visualize yoursuccess clearly.
Visualization helps your mindaccept success as achievable.
Regularly, imagine yourselfreaching your goals Vividly.
(05:11):
Experience the emotions thataccompany that success.
When I wanted to shift intohigh-end photography, I
visualized my ideal clientsbooking with me without
hesitation.
I pictured myself confidentlyspeaking my prices and clients
happily accepting them.
Amazingly, what I visualizedbecame my new reality.
Your brain will begin tobelieve this vision and your
(05:33):
actions naturally align toachieve it.
Now let's talk about howconsistency turns mindset into
results.
Mindset alone isn't enough.
It's paired powerfully withconsistency.
I've been a runner for over 30years and one lesson running
taught me clearly is thisResults only come through
(05:54):
consistency.
In business, like in running,small, repeated actions compound
into big results.
So first, I want you to committo small daily actions.
Big growth happens when youconsistently take small steps.
Commit to simple daily actionsaligned with your goals.
Show up authentically on socialmedia, post regularly to your
(06:17):
blog, engage genuinely with yourcommunity and follow up
promptly with potential clients.
Doing small actionsconsistently builds momentum and
confidence.
Next, create non-negotiablehabits.
Turn actions into habits bymaking them non-negotiable.
For me, it looks like weeklypodcast episodes, daily
(06:39):
engagement online and consistentclient outreach and networking.
Over time, these actions becomeautomatic.
When habits becomenon-negotiable, growth becomes
inevitable.
Now I want to talk aboutovercoming mindset and
consistency challenges.
Let's get real Stayingconsistent isn't always easy.
Here's how to navigate commonmindset blocks Fear of failure.
(07:04):
Fear stops action.
Remind yourself.
Failure is feedback.
Every time something doesn'twork out quite right, take notes
and pivot.
Your brand grows stronger whenyou're willing to learn quickly
from setbacks.
Now the old comparison trap.
We've all been there scrollingonline, feeling behind.
But someone else's successdoesn't diminish your own.
(07:27):
Celebrate others, then focusimmediately back on your own
path.
When I catch myself comparing,I remind myself everyone's
journey is unique.
Refocusing shifts my mindsetimmediately and, of course,
burnout and overwhelm.
Consistency doesn't meanexhausting yourself.
Prioritize tasks by impact.
(07:49):
Set boundaries around your time.
Reset is essential to growth,not optional.
Personally.
Scheduling in white space for memeans running time or time in
the gym, time to read and justrelax.
This has transformed everythingfor me.
Protect your energy fiercely.
Your mindset depends on it.
(08:10):
So here's your powerfulpresence action step that I want
you to do today.
Mindset shifts through action,not just thinking.
So here's your challengeIdentify one limiting belief
that have been holding back youor your brand.
Replace it with an empoweringstatement.
Choose one small, consistentaction you'll commit to daily
(08:33):
for the next week.
Dm or tag me to share youraction.
I want to cheer you on.
And now my final thoughts onmindset and brand growth.
Brand growth starts from within.
When you pair a powerfulmindset with steady, consistent
action, growth isn't justpossible, it's inevitable.
You're so capable, worthy andready for the success waiting
(08:57):
ahead.
Embrace your mindset as afoundation and consistency as
your fuel.
Everything you dream ofachieving in your brand and in
life is closer than you realize.
