99% of Business Problems Are Mindset Problems in Disguise

Most entrepreneurs think strategy is the key to success, but the real battle happens between your ears. Scarcity thinking, imposter syndrome, and self-sabotage keep you stuck—no matter how good your tactics are. In this blog, I break down why success isn’t about what you do, but who you become. Plus, why mindset work isn’t a one-time fix but a daily habit—just like a great diet, where one cheat day can turn into a setback if you’re not careful. If you’re feeling stuck in business, this is the shift you need to make.

Most entrepreneurs think their biggest challenge is strategy.

The right funnel.

The right ad.

The right offer.

But if that were true, every business book, course, and guru would have already made millionaires out of everyone who reads them.

The real problem?

We are trying to build your future business with your current mindset.

We are making decisions from scarcity instead of abundance.

We are operating as the current version of yourself instead of the future version who already has what you want.

And that’s why we keep hitting a wall.

I used to believe business problems were external—market conditions, leads, competition.

But after working with my coach, Jen Cudmore, I realized:

Everything holding me back lived between my ears.

The self-doubt.

The imposter syndrome.

The fear of making the wrong move—so I made no move at all.

And here’s the kicker:

Our beliefs create our thoughts.

Our thoughts shape our actions.

Our actions build momentum.

And our momentum drives our results.

But if your belief system is working against you?

You hesitate.

You self-sabotage.

You never step into the identity of the person who deserves the success you’re chasing.

The real question isn’t "How do I get there?"

It’s "Who do I need to become to receive the outcome?"

Most people think they need to work harder.

But success isn’t just about effort—it’s about identity.

Millionaires don’t think like broke people.

Leaders don’t think like followers.

Game-changers don’t think like victims.

The biggest shift for me?

Therapy.

1:1 coaching.

Doing the inner work instead of just obsessing over the next strategy.

And once I started shifting my identity, the right strategies became obvious.

The right opportunities started showing up.

The business problems that used to feel impossible?

Suddenly, they weren’t problems at all.

This isn’t a one-and-done fix—it’s a daily practice.

Just like a great diet, the goal isn’t to be perfect; it’s to create a lifestyle.

But we all know how it goes… one cheat day turns into a cheat week, and before you know it, you're 20 pounds up and wondering what happened.

The same thing happens in business and mindset.

If you’re not consistently reinforcing the beliefs, habits, and actions that support your growth, it’s way too easy to slip back into self-sabotage, hesitation, and old patterns that keep you stuck.

That’s why accountability matters.

Whether it’s a coach, a mastermind, or a trusted mentor, you need people who won’t let you settle for less than your potential—because success isn’t about what you do once, it’s about what you commit to every single day.
