In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Erica Ross-Krieger discuss:

Recognizing and celebrating small wins
Shifting from fear-based to love-based decision making
Identifying and challenging internal saboteurs
Staying present and coming to your senses
Potential collaboration between Jennie and Erica

Key Takeaways:

Catching and celebrating small wins, even a simple fist pump, can be a powerful way to shift your mindset from fear to love.
Becoming aware of your inner saboteurs, such as the “judge,” is the first step to overcoming them, and rather than judging yourself for these negative thought patterns, approach them with curiosity and compassion, and actively work to replace them with more empowering beliefs.
By consciously shifting your attention to your senses and the immediate experience, you can short-circuit the fear response and access your more resourceful, “sage” state of mind.
Combine practical business strategies, such as 90-day goal-setting, with emotional intelligence work, as it can be a powerful formula for sustainable success.
The synergy between Jennie’s direct sales expertise and Erica’s Positive Intelligence coaching suggests an exciting potential combination.
