221: The Saboteur Voice in Your Business and How to Stop Listening to It

This episode is a clip from one of Caryn's small group coaching calls. The conversation was too good NOT to share! If you've ever looked at your coaching business and thought **"I should be further along by now"** or **"maybe I'm just not cut out for this"** — this episode will stop you in your tracks in the best way. **These thoughts are among the most universal in entrepreneurship. And they're so relatable!** Who here hasn't wondered if anyone else struggles with imposter syndrome, or feels like they're bad at business sometimes? **The good news: You're not bad at this; you're probably just new at it, or being too hard on yourself.** This conversation digs into why coaches and small business owners tend to be far harsher on themselves in business than they ever were as employees, how to redefine what success actually looks like when you're the one setting the bar, and why internal growth and progress are often reason enough to keep going — even before the external results show up. If your saboteur voice has been loud lately, this one's for you. Send it to a friend who needs to hear it, too! **Topics covered:** - Why imposter syndrome hits differently when you run your own business - Reframing the "I should know this by now" story - Tying success to internal growth, not just external results - How to be the best boss and best employee you've ever had — to yourself - Changing your relationship with what it means to be a business owner - Using internal listening as a measure of success 👥 Want a thought partner and mindset/business coach to be in it with you, or to join this incredible small group, *The Advisors Circle*?
