Episode Synopsis

In this episode, the speaker reveals why most entrepreneurs lose the game long before strategy even matters, arguing that business—like athletics—is ultimately won in the mind. Through stories, frameworks, and hard-earned lessons, he breaks down the mental game of reframing failure, building unseen skills in the dark, visualizing success, and strengthening self-image so that pressure doesn't crush you but elevates you. It's a powerful reminder that setbacks are inevitable, but so is success—if you train your mind to rise when it counts.   "If you're currently in fear or you're currently beating yourself up, how can you flip the script? And it's not about positive thinking, but it's just about neutralizing your thinking, neutralizing the emotions, shifting your own kind of belief and reframing how you think"   Key takeaways: Failure is inevitable—but so is success: How you mentally reframe setbacks determines whether you move forward or stay stuck in self-doubt.  Reframing is the first pillar of the mental game: Tony Robbins' State → Story → Strategy framework helps neutralize emotions and shift beliefs when pressure hits.  Skill-building in the dark is what makes you great: Confidence comes from practicing when no one is watching—developing speaking, selling, leadership, and fulfillment skills.  Chasing new tactics is a distraction from real mastery: Funnels, ads, and tools don't matter unless you've built the underlying skills that actually make them work.  Visualization is a powerful training tool: Mentally rehearsing "money-making moves" (calls, webinars, sales, delegation) primes your subconscious for better performance.  Your self-image sets your ceiling: You act and perform based on what you believe about yourself—so upgrading your inner identity is non-negotiable.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland
