Am I a fraud? My 3 tips for mindset success
Hi this is Karen Williams of Self Discovery Coaching and the author of The Secrets of Successful Coaches. Known as the Coaches Secret Weapon, I help coaches to create the successful business they desire.
Knowing how you can create the mindset for success will sky rocket your business and one of the topics that I'm often asked to share.
Over the years I've noticed that a huge number of people train to become coaches, but many of them struggle to get clients and fail to create the successful business they desire. So they give up, go back to work or go into a spiral of unhappiness.
There are a number of things you need to create that successful business - a coaching qualification, the right business and marketing skills, but most importantly you need the mindset for success.
When you don't have the right mindset, you will focus on the wrong things. You will tell yourself and other people that your business isn't working or you will blame the recession. You will quite frankly be fed up, but this will then show up in the way you talk to people and connect with others. When you focus on the wrong things you will lose your direction and ultimately you won't be getting the success you desire.
The reason I've created this video is that this is something I come across every day. In the coaches I see, some wonder if they are good enough, and others worry about failure or even success and this can really affect the success of their business.
Today I am going to be talking about fraud syndrome; how it can affect you and my top 3 tips you can follow to do something about it. I know this stuff works and it will make a huge difference to you and your business.
Let me ask you some questions.
Do you ever think that you're not good enough and expect to be "found out"?
Do you dismiss your accomplishments or successes as a "fluke" or that you were "in the right place at the right time"?
Do you believe that other people think you are more intelligent, better or more successful than you believe you actually are?
If you agree with any or all of these statements; don't worry, you're not alone. Studies indicate that up to 70% of people fear that they will be labelled as a phoney or a fraud. Even if your clients say you're great, you get amazing feedback, testimonials and praise, you remain convinced that you do not deserve the success you have achieved. When you get successes you'll dismiss them as luck, timing or perseverance.
Fraud syndrome was one of the concepts that Blaire Palmer mentioned in my book. Having awareness of this was a starting point for her as now she knows that she needs to be conscious to put herself into the right frame of mind when she walks into a big meeting. But she says that it has come from experience. What she has found is that the people she meets, once she gets to know them, have squishy insides like the rest of us.
So if this is affecting the success of your business, here are my 3 top tips that you can use today to get your own success mindset.
1. Make sure you believe in what you do, that you know you have the skills, knowledge and expertise to get results. Being aligned to your purpose and passion is important as when you are aligned, you'll know what you are good at and how to can help others.
2. If you struggle to believe in you, get supporting evidence to back it up. Ask your clients what they think of you; get testimonials, reviews, feedback. You need to make a decision to have a success mindset and focus on what you are good at every day.
3. Employ a coach or a mentor, so that you get the support not just with your business skills, but you'll get the confidence and inspiration to achieve success. This is how I work with my clients, as I champion them, support them, motivate them and remind them of their successes every step of the way.
I've got another 35 tips that I'd love to share with you today. You can choose what work for you and that you want to put into your life straight away. To get your free success mindset toolkit, just go to the link below:
