Phrase Holding You Back in Business (EP 205): How to Change It
Entrepreneurs often get stuck not because they lack ideas or resources, but because the phrase holding them back in business subtly shapes their actions. When we say, “I want to, but…,” we create invisible barriers that reinforce scarcity thinking.
This episode explores how changing this language can create immediate impact. By reframing “I want to, but…” into proactive, solution-focused statements, entrepreneurs can open doors that previously felt closed. Elizabeth also highlights how this phrase is connected to two of the biggest challenges for business owners: time and money.
Another key insight is the power of embodying your future self. Imagining how a confident, resourceful version of you would approach challenges shifts mindset, behaviors, and results. The phrase holding you back in business becomes a cue to pivot, take intentional action, and move from scarcity to possibility.
Listeners will walk away with actionable strategies to tackle time and money roadblocks, practical mindset exercises, and insights that help them realize small language changes can create big business results. These lessons show how awareness, consistency, and intentional action transform not just business outcomes, but also confidence and clarity for entrepreneurs.
By applying these podcast promotion lessons and focusing on the phrase holding you back in business, entrepreneurs can start recognizing patterns that limit growth and take deliberate steps to replace hesitation with action and opportunity.
