The Amy Porterfield Show

Today I’m talking about the ONE THING that could be holding you back in your business.This is a real obstacle that can STALL your business growth.I know this because it stunted my own growth.Today I’m talking about the low-value bullsh*t questions you ask yourself that make you feel stuck. These are the questions that suck the soul out of you and can make you feel that you are not cut out for this entrepreneurial life.The scary thing is that you likely don’t even know you’re doing it! But if you feel discouraged by your progress and “not enough” in your business, you are for sure doing it.It’s time to find some new, alternative questions, don’t you think?To help me tackle this very important topic, I’ve asked my own mentor and former business coach (and one of my favorite guests!), Marie Forleo, to help me make this into something extremely tangible and actionable for you.I put five “low-value” questions—the kind that make your heart sink—in front of Marie and I asked her to turn them into questions that will lead you down the road to bigger results and successes. And boy, did she deliver. We also have some fun in the process, so take a listen here.Before we dive into those 5 crucial low-value questions and their empowered high-value counterparts, one last note: Marie has released a free video training series—and it’s exceptional.It answers the question I hear ALL THE TIME: “How do I know I’m working on the right strategies and focusing on the right things to make my business work?”So this has become a must-watch for me, and my students.Here are the five questions Marie is making over in today’s podcast:LOW VALUE QUESTION #1:What if no one buys what I'm selling?LOW VALUE QUESTION #2:What if they think I'm a fraud?LOW VALUE QUESTION #3:I don’t have enough __________ (experience/time/money/know-how/exposure) so how can I possibly compete against X?LOW VALUE QUESTION #4:I’m too far behind! Why didn't I get into this online marketing game earlier?LOW VALUE QUESTION #5:This is taking too long. Why am I not finding success more quickly?Check out the NEW high-value questions here—and then starting USING them to shift your mindset to get bigger results in all you do.Let’s get rid of the limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that may be holding you back—time to get inspired and raise your business game, for good.
