Reader, did you know that many Small Business Owners I work with don't see themselves as leaders; they simply focus on getting the job done.

​

But this mindset creates a problem – it holds you back from reaching your full potential and inhibits your ability to inspire and empower others.

​

The cycle begins innocently enough. You tell yourself, "I'm not a leader; I'm just running a business."
​

But then you wonder, "What would it take to be a leader?" You start to question your abilities and qualifications, doubting whether you have what it takes to lead effectively.

​

And so, the cycle continues – "To see myself as a leader, what would it take? But I can't be one because I don't see myself as one."
​

​

Breaking free from this cycle requires a shift in mindset.

​

It's about recognizing that leadership is not defined by old stoic corporate guys in suits like on TV.

​

Leadership is about rallying a team towards a common goal, in your style.

​

Leadership is as defined by YOU! It’s a mindset, a way of thinking and acting.
​

​

It's about stepping into your own power and embracing your ability to influence and inspire those around you.

​
​

And if you don't think you are one, you wait for what?
​

Some external something to give you permission?

​

Cuz if you’re waiting for someone or something to give you permission to lead, to step into that role you’re already in…you’re going to be waiting a long time……pack some snacks, it’ll be a while.

​
​

The only person who gives you permission to be who you want to be is YOU.
​

So, how do we break the cycle and prove our new identity to ourselves?
​

You can answer this... You are not the same person you used to be and your self-concept has evolved over the years.
​

You once were not:

• A business owner
• A course creator
• A Speaker
• A Writer
• A Coach
• A whatever.....

​
​

What did you do to shift into who you are today? The recipe is the same

• Decide who you want to be.
• Act as if you already are that person.
• Prove who you are to yourself, each day in the small shifts. Just like last week’s email, a 10km race is one step after the other until you cross the finish line. Find E-mail Here​

​
​

So when someone says I don't see myself as a Leader, I hear "I haven't decided to be a Leader."

​
​

If you’re ready to make that decision once and for all, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
