The Turning Point: Realizing I Was Playing Small

A Moment of Clarity

Sometimes, we don’t even realize how much we’re holding ourselves back until we’re forced to confront it head-on. That’s exactly what happened during one of the practicum exercises where we had to articulate our biggest, boldest business goals.

I had always known I wanted to scale my business, but I hadn’t actually spoken my real goal out loud. When I finally did, it felt terrifying and exhilarating at the same time: I want to make $1M in my 40th year.

The Fear of Thinking Bigger

Immediately, doubt crept in.

  • Can I really do this?
  • What if I fail?
  • What will people think?

But then, I caught myself. This wasn’t just about the number. This was about stepping into a new version of myself that fully believed in my potential. It was about breaking free from the subconscious limitations I had placed on myself and finally allowing myself to go all in.


The Breakthroughs That Changed Everything

1. The Stories We Tell Ourselves

One of the most powerful coaching moments from the practicum was recognizing the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our results. I realized I had been unknowingly holding onto limiting beliefs, such as:

  • Success has to be hard.
  • I have to work more to earn more.
  • I need permission to aim higher.

By identifying these subconscious patterns, I was able to rewrite my internal narrative and adopt a new belief system centered around abundance, ease, and confidence.

2. The Power of Decision

A major theme of the practicum was the power of decision. Making a firm decision to achieve something creates a ripple effect in every area of your life. Once I declared my $1M goal, my brain started working differently. Instead of questioning whether it was possible, I began asking: What needs to happen to make this inevitable?

3. Success Is a Byproduct of Service

Another key realization? My success isn’t about me—it’s about the impact I create for others. The more I focus on helping my ideal clients transform their businesses and lives, the more my own business grows. This shift allowed me to detach from fear and step into service, which makes selling and scaling feel natural and aligned.


Lessons You Can Apply to Your Own Coaching Business

Lesson 1: Set Bigger Goals (Even If They Scare You)

If your goals don’t scare you, they’re not big enough. The moment you commit to a bold goal, your brain starts finding ways to make it happen. Whether it’s a revenue goal, launching a new offer, or stepping into a higher level of leadership—challenge yourself to dream bigger.

Lesson 2: Identify Your Limiting Beliefs

We all have unconscious stories that keep us playing small. Take a moment to reflect:

  • What do you believe about money, success, or your own abilities?
  • Are these beliefs serving you or holding you back?
  • How can you start rewriting your internal narrative?

Lesson 3: Take Action from the Future You

One of the biggest shifts I made at the practicum was to start making decisions as my future self—the version of me who had already hit her $1M goal. Ask yourself:

  • What would my future, successful self do?
  • How would she show up today?
  • What investments, risks, or actions would she take?

Then, start acting from that place now.


What’s Next: Implementing the Practicum Lessons

Bringing the Mindset Home

The real work begins after an event like this. I left the practicum feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to take action, but I knew I had to implement these breakthroughs into my daily life. Here’s how I’m doing it:

  • Revisiting my notes & insights daily to reinforce my new mindset.
  • Setting up accountability with fellow coaches to stay on track.
  • Taking immediate action on the next steps toward my $1M goal.
