labels and how they stop us from growing and becoming the best versions of ourselves.

Let’s talk about how culturally we use labels and how they stop us from growing and becoming the best versions of ourselves.

My clients will come to me and have a ton of labels; I am a quitter, I bring shame to my family, I am not enough, I chase the shiny object, I am not smart, and the list goes on and on.

When we accept the label, the problem is that it becomes our default operating manual.

It becomes how we show up in the world.

It has us giving up the responsibility of creating the life and business of our dreams.

It takes away our power to create something different in the world.

For example, if we label ourselves as a quitter and things get hard, or we experience the ups and downs of life, we default and quit.

We just accept it as who we are and reinforce that label versus someone who believes, sometimes they take the action of quitting.

They not only see the times they did not quit but also gather evidence of times they kept showing up no matter what.

They also have options, and the decision to quit was not taken lightly.

If they do quit, it was because it was a choice they made and they liked their reason.

My advice for my clients is always to clean up their labels and not to pigeonhole themselves into labels.

I show them the power of choosing who they want to be and how that evolves over time.

The more my clients drop their labels, the more empowered they are to take massive action and create the results they want without working harder or longer.
