Ever opened Stripe, seen a slower sales month than you were expecting, and somehow ended up questioning your entire ability to run a successful business? 😂
One minute you're looking at your revenue. The next, you're wondering whether people have lost interest in your work, whether you're still good at what you do and whether you need to rethink your entire business strategy.
Quite the journey for a Tuesday morning.
In this episode of The Subconscious Expert, I'm unpacking why ambitious business owners can become so emotionally attached to their business results, and how your subconscious beliefs about success, recognition and self worth might be influencing the meaning you give those numbers.
Because when you have a disappointing launch or a slower month in sales, there's a big difference between understanding what happened in your business and deciding what that result says about you.
And the same applies when things are going brilliantly.
We'll explore how your existing beliefs influence the way you interpret business performance, why you might become reactive or avoid looking at your numbers altogether, and how to start approaching your business with more curiosity.
I'm also sharing a practical way to separate the information your business is giving you from the personal meaning you're attaching to it, so you can make more informed decisions about what actually needs your attention.
If you've ever let a sales figure determine how successful you feel as a business owner, this episode is for you.
Topics covered on How to Stop Taking Business Results Personally:
Why business results can feel so personal: How a disappointing launch or slower sales month can quickly turn into questioning your expertise and your future in business.
The difference between business data and personal interpretation: Why five sales instead of fifteen tells you something about your launch, but doesn't automatically tell you what your audience thinks of you.
How subconscious beliefs influence your response to success: Exploring how beliefs about achievement, recognition and self worth can shape the meaning you attach to your results.
Why your identity as a successful business owner matters: What can happen when you've become accustomed to a certain level of success and your business experiences a quieter period.
The hidden problem with your biggest successes: Why understanding what contributed to a brilliant launch is just as important as investigating one that underperformed.
How to approach business more like a game: Using curiosity and performance information to make decisions, without treating every result as a personal judgement.
How to separate the numbers from the story you're telling yourself: Practical questions to help you identify assumptions, investigate what's happening and decide what needs improving.
