Subconscious Blocks Growth

This internal resistance explains why many fail to achieve their financial goals despite business efforts.

ADVICE

Use Daily Mindset Exercises

Daily mindset exercises like the "happy and grateful" practice build the emotional foundation for financial growth.
Writing affirmations and envisioning a specific income helps reset your income thermostat and align your mindset.

EPISODE 241: Do you ever feel like you’re flooring the gas, but your business is still stuck in first gear?

Well, I’ve got some news for you: you may THINK it’s the economy, or your team, or your leads.

But the truth is…it might be you.

That was the case for my guest on this week’s episode of The Wealthy Contractor podcast, Donald Robbins.

Donald runs a successful remodeling business. He’s a smart guy and a hard worker, but for the longest time, he couldn’t figure out why his hard work didn’t seem to be paying off.

Here’s what Donald DID know: He couldn’t keep coming home, saying business was booming, only to hear his wife ask—again—“So…where’s all the money?"

Then he discovered something big—his own thoughts and beliefs around money were sabotaging his success. The REAL growth? Believe it or not, it all started when he shifted his mindset.

In this episode, Donald gets real about how his daily mindset works, some powerful coaching, and giving himself permission to win turned EVERYTHING around. He even opens up about how finally joining The Success Society gave him the tools and support he needed to level up in a big way.

Listen in and learn:

Why your bank account won’t grow until your mindset does
How your subconscious beliefs can hold your business back
Why daily mindset work isn’t woo-woo—it’s survival (and why Donald hid it for a while so nobody thought he went crazy)
The real difference between a business problem and a mindset problem
Why so many contractors feel “stuck”—and how to break through

…along with a whole lot more.

If you’ve ever had the sneaking suspicion that YOU might be the bottleneck in your home improvement business, don’t miss this episode.
