Fear, Confidence, and Entrepreneurial Success w/ Jesse Elder | #072

For a highly driven entrepreneur, it’s all too easy to treat your
accomplishments like a checklist…Caught in this cycle of hitting
goals simply for the sake of devoting yourself to the next —
never once pausing to reflect on your wins. Celebrating your
achievements may sound useless but it’s by riding that wave of
confidence you’ll enjoy profound success.


 


Jesse Elder’s work involves helping entrepreneurs overcome mental
blocks to achieve meaningful growth and success. In this episode,
he sheds light on the role of confidence in scaling and growing a
business, how to tap into that confidence to overcome fear, and
how to savor your accomplishments, even if you’re an
inexperienced celebrator.

4:00 
The true challenge in scaling a business

Scaling is a matter of psychology and math. The challenge lies in
scaling with meaning and purpose. And not becoming a slave to
success.


5:08 


Most of Jesse's work involves helping entrepreneurs infuse their
business with deeply personal meaning so the work itself is
rewarding and money is a byproduct.


 


5:29
The ultimate entrepreneurial fuel is confidence.

Confidence comes from evidence and evidence must continually be
replenished.


Habitually measure backward and give your accomplishments the
respect they deserve.


 


9:05 
Pausing and practicing active appreciation

Write down a list of the top 10 things you’ve accomplished in the
last 30 days.


 


10:46 
The fastest way to have your better future arrive is to…

Master the present.


Use the past as an excuse for dropping into appreciation.


Feel the fullness and confidence of that in the present moment.


I get to create vs I have to create.


 


12:10 
The critical celebrator

If you tend to diminish your achievements and can’t think of any
to write down:


Pick something from a decade ago or from this morning.

What's important is the feeling you have around it.

Appreciate and experience that confidence right now.



 


13:25 
Stacking accomplishments

Your brain can't entertain 2 frequencies at the same time.


Reflecting on your accomplishments displaces judgment and
low-level vibrations of fear and uncertainty.


 


15:42 
Meditation + a millionaire’s mindset

“In the beginning, it's uncomfortable and awkward.”


 


Turn anything around in your life within 10 minutes by leaning
from one thought to the next best thought and notice the
disparity between the two.


Normalize the new thought by journaling and continuing to lean
into the direction of the new thought.


 


19:53 
It's easier to make $100K than it is to make $10K

 


21:52 
Invest in your vision with a morning routine

Spend 10 minutes stretching


“Yessing” 3-4x will jolt your solar plexus


Drink water


Journal your vision without logic or strategy


Put yourself in that vision


 


23:44 
Selecting dialogs aligned with your purpose and goals

Choosing which dialogs to have is dependent on size, strength,
and beauty of your vision.


"You're really only about 40 conversations away from 10xing any
particular area of your life."


26:11 
Deleting dogma around fear

Fear is just an electric energy to do your best in a new
situation.


It’s normal to download images that scare you the more you unfold
your vision and feel into your best future.


"Somebody listening to this...they're being stretched and
invited into a bigger version of why they came to this planet.
Having heard that, they can't pretend they don't know. And now
there's a book that they know they're supposed to write and can't
pretend they didn't just hear me say that."


 


27:46 


"We all have decisions that we're being called into and every day
is the opportunity to say yes to the right ones."
