Hacking your Mind for Success with Johl Dunn
181 - Oooh, sometimes don't you want to just punch something?
It's so easy to get frustrated when you're running a business, especially a photography business where you get to wear all the hats … photographer, marketer, accountant and on and on.
There are more constructive things we can do, though, to ease our stress load and take action in our business. Johl Dunn joins me on this week's podcast episode to talk about the ways we bind ourselves up in fear, which prevents us from taking action.
If you haven't heard of Johl yet, he's The Mindset Coach and his mission is to help photographers like us achieve success by living with a more positive mindset. His approach centers on three key aspects -- mindset, motivation and action --- and, in this episode, Johl gives us all kinds of juicy tidbits on how to hack those into your life.
What to listen for:
10:55 How decisive action and fear go hand in hand
14:02 Tools to help you take that action
25:55 The limiting beliefs that are holding you back
36:10 How one small thought can turn into something great
42:39 Get started with your conscious commitment
Johl's right. Life is too short to be stuck in our fears and not chase our dreams. He recently closed his multi-six-figure portrait studio business to chase his dream, going all in on his coaching business.
What is your dream to chase and how can you manifest that reality?
