"I almost never did it because I genuinely believed that I was not cut out to be an entrepreneur," she says. "Now that I'm 14 years into having my own business, I look back on those moments when I doubted myself and I feel so grateful."

When your inner monologue starts to get nasty, remember that YOU ARE ENOUGH

I’m going to let you in on something that I don’t really talk about a whole lot.

And it’s that I can be downright mean to myself during times when I should be proud of myself.

When people that I care about are happy for me or congratulating me for something I’ve achieved, I’m often thinking of things that I could have done better instead of giving myself a pat on the back.

Now, I know that this part of my personality is part of what fuels my ambition, pushes me to improve, and to better serve my audience.

But I’ll be honest -- it’s no way to live, and I can’t ever imagine telling someone else some of the things that the little voice inside my head has told me over the years.

So when my inner monologue starts to get really nasty, I have to nip it in the bud -- and I do that by remembering my Why.

Your Why, my sweet friend, can help you overcome all the obstacles that you face in your entrepreneurial journey – during the times that you’re down on yourself, when you’re worried, and when you want to just throw in the towel and quit.

In this episode, you’ll hear my Whys, and exactly how I use them to flip the script on my self-doubt and negativity.

You’ll also hear two incredible stories from my own students, and how they’ve used their Whys to persevere through incredibly difficult experiences in their lives and businesses.

So get comfy, grab a Kleenex, and get ready for an incredibly heartfelt episode.
