🧠 Weekly Mind Sweep #82 | What’s On My Mind | Permission

Let’s recap our month on Permission.

  • Permission is the “consent of a person in authority.”

  • We’ve been conditioned our whole lives to ask for permission.

  • So many entrepreneurs feel just like you.

  • You have everything you need.

  • Try the ABCDE model if you could use support.

  • You do not have to ask for permission.

  • Our brain is biased, and we’re living on a big rock moving through space, and nothing matters.

Guess my work here is done!

I’m kidding. We’re just beginning! 

Let’s sweep the brain…

It will take time for society and our brains to shift from this learned behavior. As entrepreneurs (aka outside-of-the-box thinkers), we don’t care what society thinks! We have ideas!! We go against the grain every day!!! We’re confident enough to think they might work!!!! Well, for a few moments, anyway.


Ok, ok, well, maybe not as much as we think we do.


That silly organ in our head gets in the way with self-doubt and negative self-talk, and we quickly lose confidence.

Anything is possible for you.

There is no one in charge of you except you, and do we even have free will? [*1] Our subconscious is performing acts we are unaware of. You know, some minor things, such as ensuring we breathe, digest our foods and keep our hearts beating. No biggie.

Then we head over to our conscious brain is stuck in negative bias and using our nervous system to keep us safe. [*2]

When you zoom out and reflect on how amazing the human body is and what it can do and then see how far we’ve come, why do we still think we need permission from someone or something outside of ourselves?

Because it’s how it’s been, and that’s comfortable. 

What is stopping you from:

  • Writing that newsletter?

  • Creating the offer you’re passionate about?

  • Asking for the support you need?

  • Selling a product that brings another human something they need or want? 

We can’t always see the truth of what is happening. Our ego, expectation, and the stories we tell ourselves get in the way of reality. This is why an outside perspective can be so much clearer; it doesn’t carry all that weight.

Failure is not final. Practice getting comfortable with it.

You are the only one bringing your gifts into this world.

Own it. Commit to it. Believe it.

Our world is evolving faster than ever, and humans cannot keep up. It’s natural for our brain to default to why something can’t work. But the only way to know if that is true is to try. 

If your brain needs a little kick in the butt from permission. Here it is.

If you are ready to build a business you are proud of, you belong here; I can help.

This has become a new space for my digressions.
