“brokesplaining” (Part 2 of 2)

2 min readSep 20, 2019

Continuing from our conversation yesterday…

So far, we talked about 4 ways to stop “brokesplaining” yourself if your business is not where it needs to be financially. Those were:

Keep track of your gratitude
Your checkbook = reality
Feed your mind
Don’t buy the BS

Here are the final three for you…

#5 — Attitude Adjustment

When it comes to solving your problems… YOU are the doctor. YOU have the medicine. YOU have the cure.

YOU have the solution for whatever problem you’re facing.

When the STUFF hits the fan… when it’s the worst possible time in your life when it’s the worst economy or when any specific industry/market/sector is saying “holy crap, this is terrible. We have no money.”

Remember: YOU are the doctor, you’ve got the antidote, you’ve got the vaccine, you’ve got the cure for whatever your facing.

#6 Stop playing small

Stop going after the small, easy low hanging fruit.

There is absolutely no reason to stay small, play small or give in to small potatoes thinking.

You know the thinking I’m talking about:

“I’m not good enough. I’m not smart enough. No one likes me. I don’t know what’s going on. Who am I to call myself an expert? Who am I to charge $5,000, $7,000, $9,000 for a program. Other people know this. Other people are better than me. Other people are further ahead than me.”

No, no, no, no, no.

Nobody brings your combination of expertise, experience, practices, and principles to the table.

Nobody has that unique combination like you.

#7 Stop the Story

Whatever the “brokesplaining” story, you have been telling yourself, and others stop it. “Just stop it” as my favorite Bob Newhart skit goes.

If you are ready to start living fully into your potential the choice next step is yours. Brokespaining is not who you are it is the current situation and you can break free of it.
