Mindset Matters: dealing with your fears & excuses
Excuses are the WORST. Many times we don’t even realize that’s what they are.
We use them to defend ourselves.
To play victim to our situations.
To keep from having to take a risk.
To keep from getting hurt, and many other reasons.
To keep from playing big, so we won’t fail.
But if you look back on those previous 5 sentences… what’s the common thread there?
FEAR.
Are you using fear & excuses to stay stuck?
How do we overcome our fears & how do we keep fear from ruining our lives, and our businesses?
35 of my favorite books for entrepreneurs
I love to read, and because I don't have much time for my favorite hobby, I also love to listen to audiobooks. Gotta get my fix in somehow!
I don't love listening to self-help/nonfiction though, or at least I used to find the idea abhorrent. The idea of listening to someone talk on and on about how to "up your game," or become "more focused," ...blah, blah, blah... could have easily been a form of punishment for me.
That is, until I read a couple of business books (of my own free will, I might add!) this past fall. (I got sucked in, okay?!) They opened my eyes to a whole new genre which I can actually tolerate, as it turns out, and some of which I really (REALLY) enjoyed reading/listening to.
So, as with most things I get excited about, I dove in head first and created a list of books I want to read in this genre. And since I went to all that effort, I figured I should share the wealth of knowledge with you too!

Katelyn, here!
I’m the Founder, Owner, CEO, Designer & Educator at Launch the Damn Thing® and I love coffee, cursing & carefully laid plans. 😂 (Also reading, blaring loud music, and teaching, –but those didn’t fit into my nice alliteration!)

Did I just totally make your day? #goals
