Limiting Beliefs

Write down one limiting belief about scaling your company and cross it out—replace it with a neutral fact you can act on today.

Say aloud a strength of yours that disproves a limiting belief about leadership. Repeat it with confidence.

Choose a simple task you’ve avoided due to doubt—start it and set a ten-minute timer to stay focused.

Put a sticky note on your screen with a positive counter-belief. Read it before every investor or team meeting.

Swap negative self-talk with a “What if I can?” statement—test it in a safe, low-risk scaling situation.

Visualize yourself succeeding at something you believe you can’t do in scaling—notice how it feels and what changes.

Empowering Beliefs

Choose one empowering belief about your role as founder and write it on a notecard to review before tough investor or board meetings.

Repeat an empowering belief in front of a mirror each morning—focus on tone, posture, and eye contact before pitching.

Create a phone lock screen with a short empowering belief you want to reinforce during this growth phase.

Share an empowering belief on LinkedIn—something that drives your current scaling approach and vision.

Choose a belief that energizes you—apply it to a current scaling challenge and notice the shift in mindset.

Start your day by writing one empowering belief and one action it will inspire you to take today.

Opportunity beliefs

Choose one current scaling challenge and write three possible opportunities it could create for your company this week.

Start your day by asking: “Where could today’s biggest scaling obstacle become today’s biggest opportunity?”

Revisit an ongoing project and identify one overlooked opportunity you could explore starting today.

In your next leadership meeting, reframe a colleague’s concern as an opportunity in one clear sentence.

Scan your to-do list and label one task as an “opportunity zone” for personal or company growth.

Set a five-minute timer to brainstorm new opportunity angles on a recent failure—no editing allowed.
