Negative self-talk is the #1 self-sabotaging behavior that high achievers—and high-achieving women specifically—engage in subconsciously.
And what does that mean for our businesses?
Without even realizing it, we say things that don’t serve us—so we get things that don’t serve us.
And we get in the way of our own success.
Luckily, Mindset Mastery coach (and all-around fantastic human) Mindi Huebner is on this week’s episode of the Energize Your Online Business podcast.
Mindi is sharing how to recognize and rewire these destructive unconscious thoughts, starting with a simple question swap and walking us through how we can get curious about who we’re being and how we can make choices about who we want to be.
If you want to show up as the best CEO of your business you can possibly be, Mindi is here to guide you there.

Why did you get into business?
For most of us there are really two reasons:
1. We want to make an impact
2. We want to make an income
But, for many heart-centered entrepreneurs, we can feel bad about #2.
On this episode of the Circuit Sales System podcast, Tony Award winner and 7-figure entrepreneur Nick Demos is sharing how you can reshape your money mindset—those core beliefs you have around money and how money works in the world.
For many entrepreneurs, their money mindset is holding them back by limiting their beliefs in what they can and can’t do with money, how much you’re able to earn, and even how much you’re entitled to.
If just reading that makes you feel uncomfortable, you need to add this to your listening queue now.

What happens when you're good at not just a couple of things, but a lot of things? And you want to pursue all those things. But you don't have enough time to do them all and do them well. And you certainly don't want to half-ass any of it.
That's the position multipotentialite Claire found herself in.
Claire is not only earning her PhD in neuroscience, but she's also helping other PhD candidates crack the Oxford code via her Oxford Scholarship Success Course.
Both of these pursuits give Claire the ability to change lives in different ways.
She pursued neuroscience when an accident dramatically impacted her twin sister's life.
But during the process of applying to PhD programs, Claire realized that so many people with the grit and desire to earn a PhD were being turned away from prestigious universities simply because they didn't understand the process.
On this episode of the Circuit Sales System podcast, Claire shares her story, why she got into business, and how the Circuit Sales System is allowing her to balance running a business and earning a PhD.
Listen now for a heavy dose of inspiration!

And so today’s episode is all about how to address customer requests gracefully, no matter what your knee-jerk response may be.

This podcast episode might just take you by surprise a little bit. The topic? Live launching. Yes, you heard that right. Despite our well-documented skepticism towards live launching, we still acknowledge that live launching is a very prevalent tactic that most business owners try … until it fails.
The trouble is, live launches are a high-stakes game. And for some entrepreneurs, the risk can be as high as gambling away six months or even a year’s worth of income on a single throw of the dice. So if a launch fails, how do we recover? Instead of making decisions out of desperation (and risking long-term damage to your business), it’s important to see it as an opportunity to learn. Join Nicki and Kate as they explore what a failed launch can teach you about your business, your audience, and yourself.

The “everybody’s-doing-it” marketing tactics can work…until they don’t. And when Circuit Sales System student Felicia noticed buyers becoming more cautious and taking longer to convert, she knew she needed to find a different way of selling.
Not only did flipping on her Circuit allow her to create a six-figure launch in 45 days (!!), it also meant she could focus more on the people already in her community. In this episode, Felicia shares all the benefits she’s enjoying from having a predictable sales model and reminds us why building the right mindset is just as important as the strategy piece.

Our brains are wired to avoid any situations that lie outside our comfort zone. And if it had its own way, it would happily keep us on our sofa eating Cheetos all day instead of achieving the things we dream of. So if you’re waiting for the momentous day when you’re going to feel “ready” to launch your online course…we have some bad news for you: It’s not coming.
A lot of entrepreneurs (especially those with perfectionist tendencies) tend to hold back on selling their valuable courses, thinking they need to finish every module and get everything “just right”. Yes, there are some things you *must* have in place before you start selling. But Nicki and Kate are here to give you a gentle (but firm) nudge to let go of that perfectionism and put your course out into the world sooner than you might think!
