be talking about mastering your mindset. 8 00:00:26,613.333333333 --> 00:00:33,703.333333333 we are in a time now where everyone wants to master a marketing strategy, everyone overlooks the personal development. 9 00:00:33,953.333333333 --> 00:00:41,213.333333333 but unfortunately, if you don't work on yourself as an entrepreneur is going to be hard for you to build the business that you love. 10 00:00:41,393.333333333 --> 00:00:50,423.333333333 So, one thing that I know for sure, your confidence as a coach is going to be so important and what they got always tell my clients, your confidence is your secret sauce. 11 00:00:50,453.333333333 --> 00:00:53,33.333333333 That's really going to fuel your entrepreneur journey. 12 00:00:53,303.333333333 --> 00:01:05,899.259487179 Based upon how you overcome challenging times and also how do you take risks, make those bold decisions and also navigate unpredictable territories when it comes to showing yourself grace and resiliency. 13 00:01:06,79.259487179 --> 00:01:10,549.259487179 So as a coach, we all know is so important that we have to embody who we are. 14 00:01:10,709.259487179 --> 00:01:14,249.259487179 believability, likability is so important as a coach. 15 00:01:14,279.259487179 --> 00:01:17,789.259487179 So we're going to be talking about why confidence matters. 16 00:01:18,149.259487179 --> 00:01:18,899.259487179 as a coach. 17 00:01:18,899.259487179 --> 00:01:23,279.259487179 And I know it's like a buzzword right now and it's all around us, self-help books. 18 00:01:23,489.259487179 --> 00:01:30,549.259487179 But one thing I would tell you, it is the cornerstone of your success in your personal and also professional life. 19 00:01:30,729.259487179 --> 00:01:43,699.25948718 So picture this, You're about to pitch your services to a potential client, In that moment, your level of confidence makes a difference when it comes to people, believing in what you do is also going to predict the outcome. 20 00:01:43,729.25948718 --> 00:01:49,189.25948718 If they're going to believe in what you're saying or not, it's not just about believing yourself. 21 00:01:49,219.25948718 --> 00:01:53,209.25948718 It's about exuding that belief in every interaction. 22 00:01:53,659.25948718 --> 00:02:01,519.25948718 Every decision that you make in your business many coaches don't even know that dare dealing with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. 23 00:02:01,669.25948718 --> 00:02:07,659.25948718 That's keeping no for reaching that level of success because They don't know how it show up in our business. 24 00:02:07,989.25948718 --> 00:02:10,779.25948718 It could be that nagging voice or self criticism. 25 00:02:10,839.25948718 --> 00:02:18,299.25948718 It could be those barriers, holding them back It could show up in multiple ways by downplaying your achievement, your success. 26 00:02:18,659.25948718 --> 00:02:20,879.25948718 Avoid stepping out of your comfort zone. 27 00:02:20,929.25948718 --> 00:02:23,869.25948718 So the first one I want to talk about is mindset. 28 00:02:24,169.25948718 --> 00:02:32,299.25948718 And I know people had talked about this one a lot, and that just believe in the ability to change and grow going back to what I was saying. 29 00:02:32,329.25948718 --> 00:02:33,949.25948718 Oh, it's not my time yet. 30 00:02:34,189.25948718 --> 00:02:36,199.25948718 I don't think this pertains to me. 31 00:02:36,439.25948718 --> 00:02:41,959.25948718 Anytime that you are holding yourself back from growing into the person that you want to become. 32 00:02:42,169.25948718 --> 00:02:45,649.25948718 that is a lack of confidence when it comes to your mindset. 33 00:02:45,919.25948718 --> 00:02:47,899.25948718 The next one is self doubt. 34 00:02:48,199.25948718 --> 00:02:51,469.25948718 Overcoming resistance to take in a desire. 35 00:02:51,469.25948718 --> 00:02:51,949.25948718 Action. 36 00:02:51,949.25948718 --> 00:02:58,249.25948718 I mean it, I know I'm ready to launch my product or services, but I don't know if people really going to want it. 37 00:02:58,279.25948718 --> 00:03:01,9.25948718 That's self-doubt that is self doubt. 38 00:03:01,39.25948718 --> 00:03:13,209.25948718 And I need more people to understand that another way of lack of confidence can show up not getting started Getting started and keeping that momentum going in your business is going to be so important. 39 00:03:13,419.25948718 --> 00:03:16,539.25948718 So that's another way that a lack of confidence can show up. 40 00:03:16,719.25948718 --> 00:03:20,909.25948718 The next one I want to talk about is social, Releasing the need for approval. 41 00:03:20,939.25948718 --> 00:03:22,889.25948718 That's something we see a lot right now. 42 00:03:22,969.25948718 --> 00:03:25,609.25948718 Stop seeking validation through certification. 43 00:03:25,609.25948718 --> 00:03:28,279.25948718 Stop seeking validation through social media. 44 00:03:28,489.25948718 --> 00:03:34,399.25948718 You are a NEF, That's why it's important to get into these communities and get around like-minded individuals. 45 00:03:34,609.25948718 --> 00:03:36,439.25948718 The next one is fear. 46 00:03:36,439.25948718 --> 00:03:39,319.25948718 that's fear of failure, fear or risk. 47 00:03:39,529.25948718 --> 00:03:41,479.25948718 You don't want to invest in yourself. 48 00:03:41,689.25948718 --> 00:03:49,649.25948718 You don't want to launch your product or services it's so important that you understand a lack of confidence can show up me so many different ways. 49 00:03:49,889.25948718 --> 00:03:59,449.25948718 The next one I want to talk about How do you overcome limiting beliefs and negative self-talk negative self-talk is a big one. 50 00:03:59,729.25948718 --> 00:04:04,919.25948718 here's a good way to practice if you have negative self-talk and how to change. 51 00:04:04,969.25948718 --> 00:04:12,469.25948718 Sit still with yourself or two minutes, have a pen, have a piece of paper and everything that pops into your mind. 52 00:04:12,469.25948718 --> 00:04:15,289.25948718 When you say your goals, write it down. 53 00:04:15,649.25948718 --> 00:04:18,829.25948718 And if it's more negative self-talk than positive. 54 00:04:19,159.25948718 --> 00:04:21,859.25948718 You need to be signing up for coaching with confidence. 55 00:04:22,69.25948718 --> 00:04:33,169.25948718 So we can start working through that confidence aspect because one thing I know for sure, if you're trying to build a business and you can't even build yourself up to take action. 56 00:04:33,649.25948718 --> 00:04:34,849.25948718 It's never going to work. 57 00:04:34,879.25948718 --> 00:04:38,659.25948718 You're going to keep self-sabotaging yourself and not take action. 58 00:04:38,869.25948718 --> 00:04:44,839.25948718 The next one I want to talk about is expression development, communication skills, and expanding your comfort zone. 59 00:04:45,409.25948718 --> 00:04:47,779.25948718 coaches, want speaking opportunities. 60 00:04:48,169.25948718 --> 00:04:56,89.25948718 And with speaking opportunities, meaning that you're going to have to step outside of your comfort zone and develop your communication skills. 61 00:04:56,329.25948718 --> 00:04:59,89.25948718 That's why I'm a big advocate for Toastmasters. 62 00:04:59,119.25948718 --> 00:05:03,709.25948718 I think every coach dependent on where you see yourself in the future. 63 00:05:03,839.25948718 --> 00:05:06,959.25948718 invest in a Toastmaster community plug. 64 00:05:07,319.25948718 --> 00:05:13,829.25948718 If you're looking for a Toastmaster community, Semia, DM over on Instagram, I'll love to connect you with my club. 65 00:05:14,39.25948718 --> 00:05:24,719.25948718 But anyways, when it comes to developing your communication skills, You want to be article that you want to be able to talk about what you do You're going to have to practice. 66 00:05:25,59.25948718 --> 00:05:26,199.25948718 And that's the last one. 67 00:05:26,199.25948718 --> 00:05:27,849.25948718 I want to talk about competency. 68 00:05:28,59.25948718 --> 00:05:31,809.25948718 When you think about acquiring different knowledge and developing your skills. 69 00:05:32,289.25948718 --> 00:05:33,729.25948718 You gotta invest in yourself. 70 00:05:33,939.25948718 --> 00:05:46,129.25948718 Many of you out here, just trying to say some content on Instagram, not knowing that many coaches is giving you the why and not the, how You have to acquire the right knowledge. 71 00:05:46,309.25948718 --> 00:05:48,109.25948718 You have to develop your skills. 72 00:05:48,109.25948718 --> 00:05:49,909.25948718 You have to invest in yourself. 73 00:05:50,109.25948718 --> 00:05:55,119.25948718 when it comes to having that lack of confidence, You got to stop playing small. 74 00:05:55,149.25948718 --> 00:05:56,709.25948718 You got to stop shrinking backs. 75 00:05:56,709.25948718 --> 00:05:59,979.25948718 When challenges you have to be able to take bold action. 76 00:06:00,329.25948718 --> 00:06:08,719.25948718 and stepping outside of your comfort zone, because you believe in who you are as a coach, right? nobody can't do what you do. 77 00:06:09,169.25948718 --> 00:06:10,249.25948718 I'll say that again. 78 00:06:10,579.25948718 --> 00:06:16,39.25948718 No one can do what you do because they haven't experienced what you have gone through. 79 00:06:16,429.25948718 --> 00:06:24,139.25948718 And therefore that is what's going to set you apart in this coating business is because you are you and you are the only one. 80 00:06:24,499.25948718 --> 00:06:32,569.25948718 And so it's so important that when you're thinking about getting to that next level, that you understand your confidence matter. 81 00:06:32,959.25948718 --> 00:06:49,879.25948718 And if you like the confidence to show up, when things get foggy, when things are not going your way, when the numbers are not numbering, the way that you want to, where is your safe space, where you can go and people can pour into you. 82 00:06:50,269.25948718 --> 00:06:54,349.25948718 So you can start building up your confidence until you can believe in yourself. 83 00:06:54,529.25948718 --> 00:07:04,809.25948718 So I just wanted to come on here and talk about why confidence matters as a coach, because I have this amazing community, which has coaching with confidence. 84 00:07:05,89.25948718 --> 00:07:14,269.25948718 I want you to know this is where new and aspiring coaches come to build up their confidence to gain that clarity. 85 00:07:14,269.25948718 --> 00:07:19,399.25948718 So they can start building that consistency to build a coaching business that they desire. 86 00:07:19,609.25948718 --> 00:07:25,549.25948718 So my friends, I just wanted to come out here and talk about the different ways that a lack of confidence can. 87 00:07:25,609.25948718 --> 00:07:35,269.25948718 Show up as a coach, when it comes to mindset, self-doubt taking action, your social skills, fear self-talk and expression. 88 00:07:35,269.25948718 --> 00:07:37,549.25948718 When it comes to articulating your value. 89 00:07:37,759.25948718 --> 00:07:44,919.25948718 These are the things that I think you need to be aware of as a coach, because we become great by working on ourself. 90 00:07:45,159.25948718 --> 00:07:48,459.25948718 Stop trying to master marketing strategies. 91 00:07:48,819.25948718 --> 00:07:50,769.25948718 And master your mindset. 92 00:07:50,849.25948718 --> 00:07:54,959.25948718 I hope this episode bless you until next time, my friend. 93 00:07:54,959.25948718 -->
