I used to believe that you had the hustle to be successful until I realized I was completely wrong. I was speaking today to an incredible group here in Auckland and talked a lot about our bs, our belief systems. We've all got it. I don't know about you, but, you know, I've had beliefs around success, failure, money, et cetera. But imposter syndrome is something that has held me back in the past a lot, even as a kid. And I knew that with my aspirations of becoming a world champion, I wanted to do what I do professionally. That self belief was incredibly important. And so over the years I've really doubled down on that. I've been working with high performers across many sports, business, philanthropy, and the number one thing I focus on is helping them rewire a belief system that helps them become high performers over the long term, sustainably. And we can still have self doubt, we can still have that little bit of imposter syndrome, that's not a bad thing. Little bit of humility, a little bit of reality, but it can often overtake our amygdala and it makes us procrastinate, makes us delay, makes us self doubt. We don't take the action. And my mission is to help people rewire their bs, their belief systems. Next Tuesday, I'm hosting a free masterclass. Please come and join me. We're going to help everyone that attends to rewire their mindset, their beliefs for high performance. It's free. The link is in the caption. I'll see you there.
