Business success often requires more than just hard work and strategy; it requires a shift in mindset. Achieving a level of success beyond your preexisting self-image can feel unsettling, even leading to self-sabotage as your subconscious pulls you down to where you feel you belong.

This internal struggle can hinder your ability to embrace growth and move forward. Reframing your mindset is crucial to overcoming these barriers and creating a path to sustained business success.

She uncovers the subconscious impact of negative motivators that drive people into entrepreneurship, often leaving them feeling unfulfilled in their business journey. Moreover, she explains how these negative motivators significantly fuel burnout and offers insights on how to break free from these patterns.

As the conversation unfolds, Alicia also shares insights on thriving in a healthy way and turning your vision into reality. Additionally, she explains how cognitive reframing can be a powerful tool to reshape your mindset and break free from unhealthy patterns.

Key Takeaways:

• When you achieve a level of success that is new and unfamiliar to your subconscious mind, your self-image creates a sense of dissonance. ~Alicia Cramer [03:18]

• If you achieve a level of success that exceeds your preexisting self-image, it may feel unsettling. You might even start self-sabotaging to bring yourself back down to where you feel you belong. ~Alicia Cramer [05:32]

• When our ego feels too loud, it often indicates an underlying insecurity within us. ~Alicia Cramer [10:50]

• If you believe you’re not enough, no matter how much you achieve, it will never be enough. ~Alicia Cramer [17:44]

• If your subconscious mind is programmed negatively, you will be compelled to behave in negative ways. The same applies if it is programmed positively. ~Alicia Cramer [31:02]

• “A trigger, a bad habit, or a limiting belief will only affect you if there is emotion associated with it.” ~Alicia Cramer [41:44]
