John Jantsch explains how entrepreneurs can build self-reliance by recognizing the negative beliefs they inherited from parents, teachers, and other authority figures. He shares how a teacher once told him he'd never amount to anything, and argues that confronting these internalized voices daily is the first step to breaking free from them.
Hey John, what about the demons and the internal conversations that go on? I think many of our listeners have heard and want to be more self reliant. They want to have that, that morning routine, but the demons in their head says you got to work harder, you're not good enough. And there's this negative conversation going on. What do we do to combat those issues?
Well, I think that's just. I think it's a daily fight. I mean, I think the first thing is you have to start realizing the control they have over you. Because I think it is the insidious part is that it is a lot of times our own thoughts that were hammered into us by, you know, heaven forbid, a parent or a teacher or something along the way. You know, a lot of those things. You know, I remember distinctly having a teacher telling me that I was never going to amount to anything. You know, you grow up and you realize that was actually more about sort of their fear.
