One of my clients had a big dream—to double their business. For years, they hovered in the low six figures revenue range, and deep down, they weren’t just aiming for that next level; they were visualizing themselves running a million-dollar business one day.
But there was a problem. Their environment, the culture they grew up in, the advice they received, and even the social media content they consumed—all echoed the same belief: growing a business is hard, and you can only succeed if you grind 24/7.
They heard things like, “Forget about that million-dollar dream. Everyone’s struggling. Who do you think you are to want that?”
In my client’s world, dreaming big wasn’t just uncommon; it was discouraged. The people around them didn’t fuel their ambition at all, which slowly made their belief in building a more impactful, scalable business fade.
But here’s the thing: that dream never died
When you’re living with purpose, that passion can’t be extinguished. Maybe other people’s limitations and projections have dimmed it, but it’s still there, waiting for you to revive it.
So, how do you start believing in your dream again and finally make it a reality?
Of course, you need the right pieces in place—a vision, clear goals, and a strategy that actually works. And yes, a coach can help you implement all of this effectively (reach out if you’re ready to double your revenue, too).
But more than that, you need to change your beliefs. This goes deeper than just tactics—it’s about what you allow to shape your mind and ambitions every day. And that change starts with one small but incredibly powerful step:
Curate what you’re feeding your mind
Ask yourself: who are you following on social media? What kind of messages are flooding your feed? Are these the people who lift you up and remind you that a million-dollar business is within your reach? Or are you surrounded by posts from people who complain, settle, and encourage you to shrink your dreams?
Start unfollowing the people who don’t inspire you. And don’t stop there. Pay attention to everything you’re consuming:
- What podcasts do you listen to?
- What books do you read?
- What shows are you watching?
- Most importantly, who are you spending time with in real life?
Are the people around you aligned with your vision? Do they fuel your ambition, or are they holding you back with a scarcity mindset? Too often, we surround ourselves with people who find running a business hard and love to vent about it. Those are not your people.
Choose your company wisely
Surround yourself with growth-minded individuals, because otherwise, you might be unwittingly sabotaging your own business growth.
If you’re serious about scaling to $100K, $500K, and even that seven-figure mark, then now is the time to make changes—not just to your business, but to your environment.
Be the CEO of your life.
Work Smart, Earn More, and Live Better.
