Mindset coach Erin Newman believes that entrepreneurial success comes from developing deep conviction in your work rather than relying solely on self-esteem. "You can have really low self-esteem but high conviction in your work, and that conviction is still going to translate to people," Newman explains in a recent Dear Business Coach podcast interview. She helps service-based entrepreneurs overcome limiting beliefs, noting that "business is such a personal journey" where outdated programming often holds women back. "We still carry programming from our mother's generations," Newman observes, encouraging entrepreneurs to "unravel and deprogram all those messages" that keep them small. Her approach focuses on helping clients develop "that deeper conviction of who they are in the world," which enables them to confidently raise prices and achieve better results. For immediate mindset improvement, Newman surprisingly recommends dancing: "The research is really showing lately the best thing we can do for our mental health is dancing."

Financial Freedom with a Virtual Twist: John Ensley's Path to Retiring Well

John Ensley, a Chartered Financial Consultant who runs a 100% virtual practice, believes financial planning should start with understanding what you truly want from life. "The very first question I would begin with is what do you want your assets to do for you? What's the vision? What's the design?" says Ensley, who discovered the possibilities of remote work during a sailing trip to Mexico. "I did this whole call, we negotiated this contract... from a sailboat in Mazatlan. And when I hung up the phone, it was like, okay, I need to change some things because this is totally possible." Ensley's approach goes beyond traditional financial advice, focusing on psychological factors that influence decision-making. "My job isn't to tell people what to do. My job is to get them to think," he explains. Through his free Retirement Pathways Analysis at retirewellwithjohn.com, clients can complete the RESA Survey and MyRisk IQ 3D assessment, which analyzes "willingness, ability, and need, the three different levels of risks." This culminates in a one-hour consultation with Ensley. "If someone's a good fit, then maybe they become a client," he says, emphasizing that "if you don't become a client, you still walk away with very valuable information that you can go use however you want to use."

“You can't outwork your thought habits," explains Amy Kemp, CEO of Amy Kemp Incorporated and author of "I See You: A Guide for Women to Make More, Have More and Be More Without More Work." In our enlightening conversation, Amy reveals how 80% of our thoughts operate at a subconscious level, creating mental "grooves" that either propel us forward or hold us back regardless of how hard we work. She describes how entrepreneurs often swing between fantastical thinking—vividly imagining success—and catastrophic thoughts that spiral into worst-case scenarios, both ultimately distracting from the "millimeters of creative process" needed for actual progress. Having helped hundreds of women through her Habit Finder assessment and coaching programs over eight years, Amy emphasizes the importance of setting "boundaries with your goals" to achieve greater success without increasing an already maxed-out workload. Ready to transform your own thought habits? Visit amykemp.com to take the free Habit Finder assessment, receive your 44-page results immediately, and discover how changing your thinking patterns—not working harder—could be the key to your next level of success.
