How to Stop Feeling Like You're Not Good Enough w/ Ian Norton

from Brainwashed To Be Broke · host Adam Rother

Most people think they need more confidence. Ian Norton thinks they need something simpler — and most of us were quietly trained out of it.Ian is a confidence coach who has worked with royalty, celebrities, and business leaders. But before any of that, he grew up gay in a strict military family at a time when it was still illegal in the UK — taught from age nine that something was "wrong" with him and needed fixing. Chasing a sense of belonging, he fell in with a glamorous London crowd, ran a few "dodgy" packages without realizing what they were, and ended up serving four months in one of the country's most hardcore prisons.That's where the script flipped. Everyone else wanted out. Ian asked to stay — so his friends could visit. And somewhere in that cell he found the one thing he now builds everything on: the trust that he'd be okay no matter what happened.A few turning points from the conversation:- The moment in prison he realized nothing else in life could really scare him again- Walking into Kensington Palace to coach Princess Diana — who wanted to hear about prison- Why he says "I am enough" is one of the most damaging things you can tell yourself- The reframe he gives clients who blame themselves for everything: "Who do you think you are?"In this conversation, you'll learn:- Why your nervous system reacts to a product launch the same way it would to a predator attacking- The "GOOP" trap (the good opinion of other people) that's secretly running your decisions- How people quietly rig their lives to make winning impossible and failing easy- Why "what if it goes wrong" and "what if it goes right" are equally true — so pick one- How to tell the difference between real danger and just doing something newThis one goes deep on the programming we mistake for personality — and how to start writing your own lines instead.Guest: Ian Norton👇Connect with Ian🔗 Website: iannortoncoaching.com🔗 Facebook: Ian Norton🔔 If this episode stirred something in you, don't ignore it.
