#220: Business is not just about epic strategy… how's your entrepreneurial mindset? - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Show notes can be found at tashcorbin.com/220 In today's episode, we're going to be talking about the fact that business is NOT just about having an epic strategy. We're also going to check in on your entrepreneurial mindset. Let's dive right in... You probably know that I am a big lover of an EPIC business strategy. I love talking about all the different parts of business strategy, marketing, sales, and all the different ways that we can reach new people and convert them into clients. I adore business strategy and that is why it is the core focus of my business and why I love mentoring people about their business strategy and marketing in particular. However, I also know that for a lot of people when it comes to putting a strategy in place, implementing it AND seeing the results from that strategy, the thing that often lets them down is themself. I know how powerful a great strategy can be for business growth. But I also know that when I have clients in my programs and working with me one-to-one, those who have consistent mindset support - as well as working with me on their strategy - are the ones who get the best results. That's why I wanted to talk today about your entrepreneurial mindset. I've got six tips and pieces of advice that you might be interested in exploring to see if you need to get some extra support with your mindset. I also have a really epic resource for you at the end of today's episode, so make sure you stay tuned for that. 1. Understand that having your own business is personal development Being an entrepreneur is one of the biggest personal development journeys you could ever go on. Simply by acknowledging this, we actually open ourselves up to a lot more lessons, and gain the ability to pay attention to what's going on between our ears when we are engaging in business activities and trying to grow our business. Think about it: When you start your own business, you are the person with whom the buck stops. If you set yourself a goal or a task and you don't do it, in most cases, there's no one else to blame. It is just you and your thoughts that you are left with at the end of the day. It is something that really brings up a lot for us, and we need to pay attention to that, be mindful of it and have some strategies and processes to work through it. Trust me, if you've got a gap in your personal development, if you've got some blocks around being seen, saying yes to money, asking for what you want, or any of the core activities that go hand in hand with having a business, they will show up. Just by acknowledging that starting a business and growing a business is a very big personal development journey, I think it just ticks you off on the right track. You just know that you are open to it and you're keeping an eye out for those things as they pop up. 2. Accept and acknowledge that YOU'RE the boss For most people, they go from being in a standard job to being their own boss in their business. When that happens, you instantly lose the person you normally revert to. You have no safety net of knowing that: Someone will tell you what to do Someone will be able to help you decide which thing you should be focusing on If a particular idea or strategy doesn't work, at least you're still getting paid because it's not your business Someone will be able to direct you on what you should be doing instead There's always someone else to revert to. What this does when we start our businesses, is it often puts us in the space where we look for that role to be fulfilled by other people.
