The P.T. Entrepreneur Podcast EP271 | Questions From An 8 Year Old That Can Change Your Life
My son hit me with a deep question this morning: "Dad, if money is just paper, why is it valuable?" Good question, right? It's valuable because we agree it is. That got me thinking how many other things in our lives, especially our own limitations, are just things we've agreed are true, often because of the people around us? Today, we're digging into mindset. Those boundaries you think you have? They're mostly made up, just like the temperature scale or the value of a dollar bill. Stop letting negative people or colleagues who haven't done shit define what you're capable of. Surround yourself with people who push you, believe in you, and watch how your own self belief skyrockets. It takes time, like training, but breaking those mental barriers is the key to unlocking your potential.
π Key Takeaways:
- Value (like money's) is often based on collective agreement, not inherent truth.
- Your perceived limitations are often just constructs you or others have agreed upon.
- Surrounding yourself with people who believe in your potential drastically shifts your own self belief.
- Changing your mindset is like physical training; it requires consistent effort and reps over time.
- Be highly selective about whose opinions you value β ignore the naysayers who haven't achieved what you want.
- Confidence needs humility; arrogance stops growth.
- You define your own potential; don't let others set your limits.
π§ Pro Tip: Stop letting others define what you're capable of. Be careful who you listen to β their fears or limitations aren't yours unless you accept them.
