Entrepreneurial Mindset: Why You are Driving With the Brakes On [E67]

💥Work with Me
You don't have a motivation problem. If you're like most of the entrepreneurs I work with — driven, experienced, educated, been around the block — you've already got gas in the car. So why does it feel like you're stuck, self-sabotaging, or working twice as hard for half the movement?
Because you're driving with the brakes on.
In this episode, I introduce Catalyze — a free, 3-day private audio transmission created in the energy of the Scorpio full moon. Each transmission takes about as long as making your morning coffee, and each one is designed to change what you do the next day. Inside, I walk through the three patterns I see most often in smart, capable business owners who feel stuck — the actual brakes, not the generic "mindset" explanations you've heard before.
Also in this episode:
- Why coffee is the perfect metaphor for how driven entrepreneurs operate
- The difference between mindset coaching and frequency work, and why one takes six months and the other can take an hour
- Scorpio, the phoenix, and why transformation is the only honest measure of an alchemist
- Why I'm comfortable building in the messy middle
🔥 Catalyze — free 3-day audio transmission available through June 1st.

[00:00:00] Welcome to Clear Signal. This is a quick episode to let you know that I created something called Catalyze. Catalyze is a three-day audio transmission. It's free. It's in a private feed. I'll link it below. The transmission was created for the summit that I did yesterday, and I was under the impression that anybody who signed up for the summit would get the speakers' links that they provided.
I believe that is still the case, but somebody who attended from my audience told me that they were only giving that to the VIP upgrade, which isn't what I thought. But it all worked out in the end because I created it in the energy of the full moon.
The Shift summit was about she shifts. And the icon was a phoenix rising symbol morphed into a butterfly, which is very much what is on brand [00:01:00] right now for the personal development and business space.
This past full moon was in Scorpio, and Scorpio is the sign of transformation.
It is also the sign of alchemy. It is the only astrological totem that has three symbols, and the final is the phoenix rising. This notion of you crawl through the fire and then you soar. Which is why people who have a lot of Scorpionic placements or Plutonic placements, I happen to have both, have gone through the fire and come out the other side in life or on the soul journey.
Astrology is not just about this lifetime. That is why I created Catalyze and that's why I wanted to create Catalyze in the energy of the full moon.
They're evergreen, so they may come back in a different form, but for now, they'll definitely be up through the 7th of May. They may get taken down after that. Link is below. It's free. I wanted to make sure people in my world knew about [00:02:00] it.
It is a private audio feed. It's just like a podcast. You just click the link. You add it to your Apple. It's just not a public feed. Catalyze is a daily transmission, and each one is to change what you do the next day.
I did this because I wanted a coffee chat. I wanted something you could take on daily in the morning. It may not be in the morning, but I wanted something you would have, as part of a walk, as part of a It's the time that it would take you to basically prepare your coffee is the time it would take to listen to each of the transmissions.
Something you should know about coffee is people think about coffee as an accelerant, a catalyst, and it is. It raises your adrenaline, and that causes you to go to the bathroom, it causes you to raise your anxiety, it causes your cortisol level to go up, all of the things, the stress hormone. It does all the things, but what you should also know is it suppresses a hormone that makes you tired.[00:03:00]
So not only does it put gas in the car, it also removes the brakes. A lot of the people that I work with, they already have gas in the car. They're driven people, motivated people, educated people, experienced people, been around the block in life, fucked around and found out in business in terms of working with people that were not a fit or were too generic for what they wanted.
They've lived life. They know who they are and who they're not, although we're all figuring that out every day. They come to me with this notion of being stuck, self-sabotage, lost, right? What is market research? You take in the inputs from everybody who comes to you, and then you see who is talking to you, what I said last time.
And none of them are any of that. [00:04:00] They're doers.
What they have is they've got the brakes on, and they've got gas in the car, and all I do is I remove the brake. That's what I do. That's why I'm an alchemist. Because once you're done with me, you're never the same, ever. If I haven't alchemized you, I'm not an alchemist.
An alchemist is not somebody who works with woo tools and has a fancy title and calls themselves that because it's cool. An alchemist is somebody who changes you. And when you permanently alter something, it is altered.
And that's why what I do is so hard to describe, and that is why it is a time where I'll start to describe it more to the people that matter. And to the people I matter, I don't mean like you're worthy. Like you either get it or you don't at this stage. Because how can you [00:05:00] describe transforming somebody through language, through frequency like a piano tuner in one hour where someone else wants to sell you a mindset coaching program that's six months?
They're very different things when done with ethics. Mindset is changing your belief systems about what you think is possible And that can take time. But a lot of mindset, or what people label mindset, is you're operating on the wrong frequency, meaning that somebody says something in the right way.
What's a voice? It's a frequency. So you hear a frequency, and it alters something in you, and you no longer feel that way. You see things differently. You act differently. You act differently, you get different results. Not in a Tony Robbins seminar kind of way, in like a, "Oh, I'm [00:06:00] different. I'm gonna do different shit now."
It really can be that simple. In a world that wants to sell you that everything has to be hard, right? So last year, I talked a lot about the spiritual concepts of new paradigm, old paradigm, and right now, the title's got new paradigm in the title. I'm always changing this podcast because I'm still in beta in terms of forming what I want it to be. And the problem is, is 'cause what I want it to be h- doesn't exist yet. So I changed the name of Clear Signal to Clear Signal last summer. I changed it when Uranus went into Gemini briefly. We only had a period of time, about a month last summer, that Uranus was Gemini, and that is when I changed the name.
I already had the future vision of what Clear Signal w- wanted to be last summer. I knew we wouldn't be ready for it until this summer.
I just allowed it to be the messy middle of the in between in the meantime. I'm fine with the messy middle. [00:07:00] A lot of people aren't fine with the messy middle. And I don't mean as a human. We all go through messy middles where we're all trying to figure it out. That is a human construct. I'm okay with things not being perfect.
I'm okay with, this is good enough for now, and we'll keep going.
I could come on here and be like, "I've created this fancy lead magnet for you and this..." No, I'm like, yeah, we, I did it for the summit, and then I thought it was for the whatever, and it's not, but it's great. It catalyzed me to create this. Did I do it? Yeah. Is there a resource for you now?
Yes. Catalyze. Fire. Action. Driving with the brakes on. And some of us are driving with the brakes on, or some of my clients are driving with the brakes on. They use different terminology, but it's not that. It's three main things that I see, and I talk about those three main [00:08:00] things in the transmissions. It's not motivational speaking.
It's the three main things I see that are driving with the brakes on, hence the coffee analogy. Link below. Also, speaking of frequency in your voice, the offer that I had in the show notes about resonance and understanding how you are designed to communicate on stage, on a mic, in general, how to use yourself as an instrument and sell and package what you do, whatever that means.
Let's use the word influence, 'cause some of you guys don't wanna sell. You still need to operate the vehicle correctly. Let's keep with the analogy of the car.
And if you're interested in that, that expires at the end of May, in its current form and its current price point. Link below.
