As Mark Twain stated, “It’s not what you don’t know that holds you back, it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 As your virtual Growth Coach<\/a>, please read that again.\u00a0 Surprisingly, it’s your certainty around some of your long-held business beliefs that could be holding you back.\u00a0 After all, when was the last time you really questioned and challenged some of your beliefs, practices and assumptions?\u00a0 Probably seldom \u2026 if ever.<\/strong><\/p>\n Therefore, in this business coaching<\/a> blog, let’s take the time to become fully aware of and challenge some of our basic business beliefs<\/strong>.\u00a0 As a business coach<\/a> for nearly 20 years now, I can tell you that false assumptions and limiting beliefs almost always interfere with greater levels of success and happiness .\u00a0 Very often, they are the main culprit. Entrepreneurs can quickly make up their minds about something and then become closed-minded to re-examining and re-adjusting such potentially limiting and disempowering beliefs.<\/p>\n So here is your choice \u2026 you can either dig in and fight to prove yourself \u201cright\u201d with every held belief or you can be open to challenging your beliefs so you can be \u201cmore effective and successful\u201d.\u00a0 As the great UCLA basketball coach John Wooden said, \u201cIt\u2019s what you learn AFTER YOU KNOW IT ALL that really counts.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 I will assume you want MORE life, MORE success, and MORE fulfillment \u2026 so let\u2019s proceed. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n As your Growth Coach, let me ask you some questions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If some or several of these (or others similar to these) are your core beliefs, be warned.\u00a0 It will be nearly impossible to grow a business that is not totally dependent on you \u2026 you will be trapped and perpetually exhausted.\u00a0<\/strong> If you don’t question and challenge these and similar beliefs, they will surely challenge your business and future.\u00a0 Odds are, you will remain overworked, overwhelmed and feeling like a prisoner to your business.\u00a0 You will continue to own a job, not a business.\u00a0 Is this what you truly want?\u00a0 Are you ready for some tough-love business coaching<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n As a veteran business coach<\/a>, please trust me.\u00a0 These types of self-limiting and self-sabotaging beliefs, more than anything else, will interfere with your goals for greater success, free time, flexibility, freedom, and fulfillment.\u00a0 The only thing that can really hold you back is YOU \u2026 and your ineffective and damaging beliefs, assumptions, habits, and practices.\u00a0 Unless you destroy them, they will destroy you.\u00a0<\/strong> You cannot run a business all alone.\u00a0 You must be able to build systems and trust others to run the systems and do their jobs.\u00a0 Otherwise, such fear-based beliefs will act like brakes on your business and your level of success and personal satisfaction.<\/p>\n As your Growth Coach<\/a>, my advice is for you to confront, eliminate, diminish or at least neutralize such limiting or sabotaging beliefs if you are to release the brakes and the full potential of your business, yourself and your employees.\u00a0<\/strong> You must clear such beliefs from your mindset in order to allow more empowering and effective beliefs to take hold.\u00a0 Or, be content with where you are, who you are, and blindly accept all your business beliefs as true.\u00a0 Your call.<\/p>\n If you want to change, here are some simple questions to help you confront, examine, challenge, and modify any potentially damaging belief<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Any negative belief can be challenged and changed if you confront it with the truth.<\/strong> Again, it’s not what you don’t know that is holding you back, it’s what you know for sure (that you haven’t examined and challenged) that just ain’t so.\u00a0 Keep questioning your business beliefs and assumptions so they are in alignment with where you want to go and who you want to be.<\/strong><\/p>\n To help open your eyes to what is possible, please download our free e-book, Becoming a Strategic Business Owner<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Also, take our free, confidential on-line business assessment<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As Mark Twain stated, “It’s not what you don’t know that holds you back, it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”\u00a0 As your virtual Growth Coach, please read that again.\u00a0 Surprisingly, it’s your certainty around some of your long-held business beliefs that could be holding you back.\u00a0 After all, when was the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[855,857,876,930,1105,951,858,860,861,1059,863,897,864,935,865,937,867],"class_list":["post-1943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-coaching","tag-benefits-of-business-coaching","tag-business-coach","tag-business-coaching","tag-business-coaching-advice","tag-business-coaching-guarantee","tag-business-coaching-tips","tag-business-owner","tag-business-owner-mindset","tag-business-systems","tag-delegation","tag-entrepreneur","tag-growth-coach","tag-leadership","tag-marketing","tag-small-business-management","tag-strategic-business-owner","tag-strategic-mindset"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
