Sylvia DeMott is a psychotherapist by day who started a side hustle as an entrepreneurial mindset coach – and today we’re turning the tables and she interviews me all about my entrepreneurial mindset journey.
This is part two of an interview wasn’t intended to be an episode of Pep Talks for Side Hustlers… I was just recording it for Sylvia so she could use me as an example in her blog post about entrepreneurial mindset – but I wanted to share it here on the podcast because Sylvia used her ninja psychotherapist skills to get me talking about things that I think many of you listeners can relate to in your life and business:
So today, we’re moving beyond the tactical how-to of building a business as Sylvia digs into my mindset and the things I’m currently working on in my business – beyond the numbers.
- Why I don’t want to lower my expectations… but I need to.
- The advice I give to people who are just starting out and wisdom that I wish I would have really heard…
- The biggest skill I have had to learn personally.
- How I’ve become comfortable promoting myself – and what works well and what does it.
- My advice for someone that has a really small email list of just family and friends.
- Why I feel so responsible for other people’s results.
- Why you have to keep showing up no matter what.
- Why I don’t have a local networking group.
- A big benefit of just being yourself.
- Why I’m considering going down to ONE podcast episode a week *gasp*!
