Ep 19: What is Holding You Back?

The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

Hello ladies, and Welcome to Episode 19 of The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast! I’m your host, Dr. Dawn, CEO/Founder of Dr. Dawn ShopTalk and you might remember that last week’s episode was all about what’s holding you back, and in last week’s case, that could be a difficult boss. This week we are going to look at the power of belief, and more importantly how disempowering beliefs might be the reason why.
So, here’s the deal – YOUR BELIEFS are everything? Why? Because your beliefs determine your actions, and your actions determine your future since what you are actually doing (not talking about our planning, but actually DOING) either sets yourself up for success or it doesn’t. In other words, you can talk all day long about setting a goal that is important to you – a career goal, a health goal, a relationship goal, you name it.
But if there is no action behind it, then it just becomes a pipe dream, and we don’t want that. Sure, as a business and career coach, I WANT you to dream, and I want you to dream big and not limit your dreams right out of the gate, but if you take no action steps, then your dreams just go unfulfilled, which can then lead to anger, disappointment, frustration, etc.

So HERE is your action plan: you’re going to start challenging your disempowering beliefs each and every time you have them, and when you do, start appreciating the power those beliefs can have over you. Since this dynamic is not always obvious, be sure to spend at least 14 days watching yourself carefully. Literally go on the hunt for these beliefs and start knocking them down one at a time. This one strategy alone can be a powerful tool because when you take one belief away, it’s human nature to replace that belief with something else.
Ok you guys, I hope enjoyed stopping in Today for our episode and I look forward to you joining us NEXT time – in the meantime, don’t forget our motto here at ShopTalk and IT IS THIS: If YOU are not having a FANTASTIC day, YOU have the POWER to make it one!
