Overcoming the Trap of Overthinking

from A SEAT at THE TABLE: Helping business leaders grow their influence · host Kenz Soliman, founder, Her Digital Business

Host Jane Singer sits down with the inspirational Kenz Soliman, a successful business owner and mentor who has achieved legendary status through her remarkable journey. In this captivating conversation, Kenz shares valuable insights on being mentally strong, embracing personal growth, and overcoming self-doubt in the pursuit of success.  Kenz emphasizes the importance of being open to criticism, acknowledging that not everyone will appreciate our work. However, she encourages listeners to focus on connecting with the people who do appreciate it, as the views of others shouldn't define our worth. Instead, Kenz values personal growth as an essential part of the journey, considering it more significant than mere success or numbers.  As an overthinker herself, Kenz can relate to those who struggle with overanalyzing data and feeling overwhelmed. However, she finds motivation in the positive feedback and good comments she receives for her content. This encouragement inspires her to continue creating and going above and beyond.  Reflecting on her experience of trying new things, Kenz came to the realization that her current work is what she truly loves and excels at. To maintain focus, she prioritizes her essential work and ventures into other interests only when she has the time and energy. Kenz emphasizes the importance of not leaving what is working for something new and uncertain.  Kenz credits her resilience to the chance she took on herself, refusing to believe the false beliefs she was taught growing up. Her courses enabled her to talk about her journey with people-pleasing, leading her to do a TEDx talk — a remarkable achievement that few accomplish. Though she initially doubted her potential and sabotaged her results, confidence soon followed as positive reviews poured in for her courses.  However, Kenz admits to making mistakes while building her brand and having to start over multiple times. She also tried different methods of making money but eventually realized they didn't align with her true passion. Instead, she learned to focus on timeless principles rather than specific tools.
