034: How Working More Creates Income Plateaus (and What to Do Instead!)

If you have flatlined or gone backward in your income for at least three months, even though you've been showing up and working on your business every day, then you might be the discouraged entrepreneur with big dreams, and I've got a powerful episode for you today! In today's episode, I talk about a concept called the "Groundhog Cycle." It's like the movie "Groundhog Day," which is about this guy who wakes up on (yep.. you guessed it.. Groundhog Day!) every morning. The same day keeps repeating itself over and over again, and the only way for him to break out of this loop is to learn the lesson he has to learn!  I was in the Groundhog Cycle for two-and-half-years! I wake up...I show up...I do the same thing every single day... Hoping that there will be a different outcome, yet it's always the same result, and my income is not growing! Stuck in a rut; but also feeling completely frustrated and flustered about it because I knew I had so much more to give and so much untapped potential still there! And the thing is, during that time, I thought I just wasn't working hard enough, or doing enough personal growth. I read more books, invested in more trainings, and worked later into the night and earlier into the morning, all while having nothing to show for it!  Eventually, what I realized was that the root of my problem keeping me in stuck as a discouraged entrepreneur with big dreams were actually my hidden INNER THOUGHTS and my SELF-LIMITING BELIEFS. Because they were so hidden, I never even knew they were there.  And since then, I've learned that working on our thoughts and beliefs is the only way to remove those blocks that are keeping us from having the success that we want in our business!  I've also got an exciting announcement this week!
