Hey, y'all, and welcome to the Mindset Coach Academy podcast. My name is Lindsey Wilson, thanks for joining us today. It's mental Monday. So we talk about one tip, tool, or technique that you can use in your life today to be better. And I want to talk about not giving a fuck. That's not the title of this.
Lindsey 0:56
But I want to say that recognizing that when you put anything out into the world, you are going to get haters, you are going to get people that don't like you, you're gonna get people that call you an idiot. And I know this because this has happened.
Lindsey 1:15
And I want to invite you to recognize when people don't like something that you're saying that it is a clue that you are saying something of value. I'm not saying that you're right, I'm not saying you're wrong, it doesn't matter, you're saying something that has value in the world because it means something that has substance.
Lindsey 1:40
It's not just going with the flow, it's not reiterating what other people are saying. And this is not how our brain works, right, our brain has been wired to believe that we have to stay within the group and stay safe in the tribe, so to speak, and not stick out at all. And again, this can be a great thing in certain instances.
Lindsey 2:04
But if you're trying to impact people, if you're trying to build a business, if you're trying to get people's attention, because you have something to say, saying what everybody else says, is actually not that helpful. Because nobody's gonna pay attention, it's not doesn't have any value, it's just the same thing that everybody else says.
Lindsey 2:21
Now, I don't mean to say that you have to go out and be controversial unless you want to. But that's not really what this is about. This is about paying attention to our brain's natural tendency to not say anything at all because the safest thing to do is to just be quiet. And, again, this isn't important for us, as mindset coaches, for two reasons.
Lindsey 2:41
One, we have to get our message out, we have to say something that attracts the right client, something that is true to us something that has value, something that you know, challenges people, or makes them think a certain way, or a different way, or, you know, just to say something of value. But it is also important.
Lindsey 2:59
So it's important, as we build our business, it's also important to live with integrity about what we teach, right? Because we are asking our clients to go do scary things, to step out from the group, and say, or do something of value in the world and stick out a little bit and be brave in that. And our brain doesn't like that. It doesn't.
Lindsey 3:20
And so this is something that we naturally have to override, and we have to be really aware of it. Otherwise, we spend so much energy avoiding it. And I just want to offer that when we avoid it, we play small. And it is actually a sign that we are saying something and I'm not saying that this is super easy for me, like I don't really love getting emails from people saying I'm an idiot.
Lindsey 3:42
But I have learned that is the cost of doing business, that is the price of saying something of value. And that it's just part of it. And so I want to offer that to you as well that stepping up standing out saying something, you will have pushed back in little ways and big ways.
Lindsey 4:03
It may not be an idiot, maybe somebody that it may be your perception that other people are rolling their eyes or not responding or, you know, worrying what they think of you. And they will always be people that hate, but they're not in the arena, they're not standing up and saying something of value.
Lindsey 4:20
So we have to be aware of how our brain is holding us back from saying anything at all. That's my message today. So if you love this, please rate and review our podcasts, it really does help other people find us. And hey, if you'd liked this episode, why not send it to a friend?
