What if the reason you keep hitting roadblocks in your business isn't about strategy or tactics, but about your relationship with yourself and how that ripples into every business relationship you have? In this episode, Kathryn shares a story about working with a million-dollar brand that revealed the hidden patterns keeping entrepreneurs stuck at the starting line or grinding through growth.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why your relationship with yourself including self-criticism, perfectionism, and lack of psychological safety to make mistakes, directly determines how you lead your team, serve your clients, and progress in your business, and how the same patterns that keep you stuck internally (unclear expectations, moving goalposts, fear of failure) show up externally in difficult client dynamics, team management challenges, and business friction points that feel harder than they should be.The concept of psychological safety and why creating it within yourself first, allowing yourself to fuck up, make mistakes, pivot, change course, and be contradictory without punishment or harsh self-judgment is essential not just for your own wellbeing but for building a team that thrives, maintaining healthy client relationships, and actually getting off the starting line instead of staying paralyzed by the need to have everything perfect before you begin.Why those expectations you create about timelines (I should be making money by now, I should have grown faster, I should be further ahead) cause so much pain, especially when we compare ourselves to others and weren't born with entrepreneurial skills but need to acquire them over time through trial and error, which requires giving yourself permission to learn marketing, sales, leadership, and scaling as crafts that take time to master rather than overnight accomplishments.How to distinguish between being truly off-path versus having an emotional flight response to obstacles—notice if your "I don't think this is right for me" feelings arise right after a bad sales call, client complaint, launch that didn't go as planned, or social media post that flopped, because if something is genuinely your passion and purpose, you wouldn't be having the conversation of whether it's the right path, you'd just keep going despite the challenges because the vision is so clear you literally can't live without pursuing it.And while you’re here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.
