Listen "E41 Coaching, Mentoring, And Mindset"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIf you’ve ever wondered whether you need a coach or a mentor—or why so many promises in the coaching world fall flat—this conversation gets honest about what really creates change. We unpack the practical difference between coaching (drawing out your own answers) and mentoring (handing you a proven path), then show how a thoughtful blend of both can unlock momentum when your calendar and your nerves say otherwise.We walk through the roots of the industry’s bad reputation—low barriers to entry, recycled slide decks, and glossy guarantees—and contrast that with a process built on clarity, accountability, and measured progress. From peer “boards” with AI-minuted action points to open team scorecards, we share tools that move owners from agreement to implementation. The thread underneath it all is mindset: how beliefs quietly keep you on site instead of leading, how time becomes the new excuse when funding removes cost, and how small wins compound into confidence and identity shifts.Beyond business mechanics, we tackle the world outside the office: social media’s manufactured envy, the pressure to perform, and the way grief and loss can reset a life’s direction. You’ll hear candid stories about failed companies, family bereavement, and the silver linings that power purpose. Growth means discomfort—giving the speech, running the first workshop, scoring performance in the open—and then turning that discomfort into a habit. If you’re tired of firefighting and ready to work on the business, not just in it, this is your map for choosing a trustworthy guide, demanding a transparent process, and doing the work that actually changes results.Enjoyed the conversation?
