The Hidden Beliefs Sabotaging Your Success (And How To Change Them In Minutes)... [Dennis Richards]

from Empire Builders with Nick James · host Nick James

In this episode of Empire Builders, I sit down with Dennis Richards - a psychotherapist, coach, and retreat leader who specialises in helping business owners identify and transform the limiting beliefs that are holding them back. Dennis has run over 30 retreats in the last 10 years and works with experts, coaches, and entrepreneurs to uncover the deep-rooted wounds that prevent them from charging what they're worth, stepping up to bigger opportunities, and creating the life they truly want. This conversation gets personal... We dive into beliefs around money, worthiness, and the three core wounds that affect almost every business owner: "I'm not good enough", "I'm not perfect", and "I'm not worthy". In this episode, you'll discover: The simple exercise to reveal your hidden money beliefs (think about doubling your prices and notice what comes up) How to use your body as a tool to identify where limiting beliefs are stored The quantum regression technique Dennis uses to help people overcome phobias in 30 minutes Why beliefs in your personal life directly impact your business success (and vice versa) The balance between intention and attention - why therapy alone isn't enough How to run successful retreats (from someone who's done 30+) Where to download Dennis's free Belief Blueprint workbook with 10 steps to transform your beliefs Whether you're struggling with pricing, stepping up in your business, or just feel like something's holding you back, this episode will give you practical tools to identify and change those beliefs. Perfect for coaches, consultants, therapists, and expert business owners who know there's another level available to them.

This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company. He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash! Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.  He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires. Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage. Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.
