Smashing the Glass Ceiling of Fear to Achieve Greater Freedom [387]

Are your fears limiting your freedom? Get ready to explore an empowering conversation about challenging your own boundaries to achieve greater freedom in life and business. This episode unravels how our fears often become our limits and restrict us from pushing beyond our comfort zones. We'll highlight how bravery in the face of fear can lead to increased resilience and strength.

Drawing inspiration from the likes of Taylor Swift and Tony Robbins, who constantly push their physical and mental boundaries to deliver exceptional performances, we discuss the importance of stepping outside comfort zones.

As we were talking about freedom this week , as we are talking about challenging ourselves this week , i think it's really important to note that when we challenge ourselves , we actually can create more freedom , because a lot of times , what is holding us back from free freedom is fears and our fears that we refuse to face or that we don't try to overcome . Those become our limits , right . So if we're never pushing ourselves , if we're never stretching ourselves , if we're never being courageous and doing the things that scare the poop out of us , right , we're going to struggle with pushing those limits . We all have limits . We will always have limits . First of all , just let me clarify that We will always have limits , just like we'll always have a comfort zone , and the more we stretch out of it , the stronger and more resilient we will be . But when we have something that is holding us back , that's not freedom , right .

Speaker 1 1:00

So I believe wholeheartedly in the duality of not only creating freedom in my business , but also creating challenging opportunities for myself to overcome , meaning that I can . The more I push myself , the more freedom I can create . Plain and simple . It's like you know , as women , how we talk about shattering the glass ceiling . Well , if I am constantly pushing myself . There is no glass ceiling right And it's totally up to me , it's in my control . So am I willing to face the fears or be courageous or push myself with the limits that I currently have ? Am I going to continue to allow myself to believe that I have limits ? or I can't ever have more than this in my bank account , or I can't ever have more than this many people in a program , or I can't ever create more than this many videos in a week , or I can't show up you know a little bit more , like 1% more on social media every single day . Like again , these are just limits that are put there that we get to decide . I mean , there are limits that we put on ourselves , but we get to decide . What does that look like ? right , i think a lot of times and I've said this before we just don't know what we're capable of until we do it , and I don't know what my limit is until I try it .

Speaker 1 2:39

And I look at you know , just getting back from the Taylor Swift concert , you know she's a machine . Three and a half hours . Like who does that Right ? Her dancer's got a break . She never got a break . She disappeared for maybe one to two minutes to change outfits and came right back And you know , you think about Tony Robbins and somebody who can speak to the masses . For you know , five to eight hours solid And you're just like again machine . And yes , they can condition their body , yes , they can do all these things .

Speaker 1 3:18

But I'm sitting there sweating at Taylor Swift , thinking I can't breathe . How is she breathing in these clothes ? Like , how can she not look like want to strip down right now ? Like , and I'm sitting there like okay , if she can do this , i can do this Right , like I'm not even doing anything . I'm standing here and I'm roasting And I kept thinking about that , like how much dedication does it take , how much courage does it take , how much dealing with the elements ?

Speaker 1 3:43

that doesn't feel good and feels uncomfortable . I'm sure she was sweaty because her hair was soaked And you know that can't be comfortable . I'm somebody who is not big fan of sweating , so it's not . It doesn't sound comfortable to me . But again , how did she know she could do a three and a half hour show ? She didn't until she did it right , she pushed herself or she worked her way up to it . Tony Robbins didn't know he could speak for eight hours solid , until he pushed himself and he did it . We are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for . We are capable of so much more than we're willing to push ourselves for .

Speaker 1 4:25

You became an entrepreneur for a reason , most likely because you want to change the world . You want to change your ideal person's world , or maybe you just did it at the time to get away from a nine to five and have more freedom in your life . But you took that risk and you took that chance , no matter what it was . And the question is what's limiting you now ? What's holding you back now ? What's keeping you from the next level ? What's keeping you from doing the next thing ? Where is your limitation ? What fear is creating your limitation , and when are you going to decide to overcome it ? There's always going to be another fear , but that doesn't mean we stay small and we play it safe . It means we push through the ones we have and we realize right now until the next one shows up . Because if nothing changes , nothing changes .

Speaker 1 5:23

And if I continue to do the same thing and don't push myself just because I'm doing things right now that work right , that work really well . You know 10 people signed up for the challenge while it was in Cincinnati with my daughter watching Taylor Swift . And it doesn't mean that it's like , oh yeah , i'm doing what's something right , i'm just going to let it ride . No , i'm going to continue to push myself . I'm going to continue to show up harder , i'm going to continue to treat myself like a machine .

Speaker 1 5:50

Right , and what else can I do ? How else can I challenge myself ? How else can I challenge my mind ? How else can I challenge my body ? How else can I challenge my willpower ? How much more can I challenge my confidence ? How much more can I challenge my fears ? And I'm going to ask you the same questions How much more can you challenge yourself and what's next ? Because your next level is on the other side of that fear and on that distance that you're not willing to push yourself . Right now , in this moment , you are in control , my friend . The question is when are you going to push your limits to see what they are ?
