Your Subconscious Is Your Business Operating System

When your business isn’t where you want it to be, it’s easy to look for external fixes:

• Better strategies

• New tools

• Different tactics

But the truth is:

You don’t have business problems. You have personal problems manifesting in your business.

This is a tough pill to swallow.

Because it’s not the algorithm, the market, or your niche.

It’s you.

And it’s not your conscious mind, the part that sets goals, makes plans, and dreams big.

It’s your subconscious mind, the invisible operating system running in the background, directing 95% of your actions, beliefs, and behaviors.

Just as an outdated or buggy operating system can slow down or crash a computer, unexamined beliefs and unresolved childhood wounds can sabotage your progress, no matter how skilled or driven you are.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

The reason you procrastinate, self-sabotage, and fight with impostor syndrome is not because of your business.

It’s a reflection of your inner world.

If you’re avoiding sales calls, it’s not the sales that scare you, it’s the fear of rejection.

If you’re underpricing your services, it’s not the market, it’s your lack of self-worth.

If you’re afraid to post your ideas on social media, it’s not a content strategy, it’s a fear of being seen.

If you’re afraid of being authentic, it’s not your audience, it’s an unhealthy relationship with conflict.

I know all of this because I went through it myself.

This is where impostor syndrome starts creeping in, along with self-doubt and limiting beliefs.

But you gain back control when you realize the following:

Your business is a mirror.

And until you fix the source, the reflection will not change.

When something in your business isn’t working, ask yourself:

• What is the external problem I’m facing? (ex. lack of sales)

• What is the internal belief behind this problem? (ex. “I’m not good enough”)

• What past experience could have planted this belief? (ex. childhood criticism)

• How can I reframe this belief to empower me instead of limit me? (ex. “I provide real value, and the right people will see it”)

“Your business is not separate from you. It is a mirror. Fix the reflection by fixing the source.”
