Welcome back to this episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show! Today, I’m diving into something absolutely critical for every entrepreneur: how to break through those mindset blocks and set yourself up for success. In my 20 years of business experience, I’ve learned that strategy alone isn’t enough. Yes, strategy is essential, but if your mindset isn’t aligned, no amount of posting, pitching, or perfecting will get you the results you want.
In this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Grace Redman, who shares her insights on how to tackle mindset blocks and build the belief systems that will allow you to achieve the success you’ve always dreamed of.

Break Mindset Blocks with SOAR Method – Key Takeaways:
- Mindset Impacts Everything: If you’re not thinking the right things, you’re not doing the right things, and your business will suffer. Shifting your mindset is a game-changer.
- Limiting Beliefs Can Hold You Back: Grace shares how 95% of our actions are driven by unconscious beliefs. Recognizing these beliefs as stories can help you reframe them and break through self-sabotage.
- The Power of Acting Like Your Future Self: By acting as the person you want to be, you can trick your brain into adopting that mindset and becoming that person. It’s all about playing the game with the belief that you are already where you want to be.
- The Importance of Intentional Action: Don’t get caught up in “busy work.” Be intentional with your actions and focus on what will truly move the needle in your business. It’s about quality, not quantity.
- The Power of Consistency: Consistency is key in building a business, but it needs to be paired with focus. Choose your platform and stick with it to build real momentum.
Grace’s Approach to Mindset Shifts:
- Shift Your Mindset and Habits: To make meaningful progress in your business, you need to shift your mindset, habits, and priorities. This includes changing the actions you take and how you approach challenges.
- Own Your Part: Taking ownership of your journey means owning both your strengths and areas for growth. Accept that we’re not perfect, and that’s okay—it’s all part of the process.
- Action and Intentionality: It’s not enough to just take action—your actions need to be intentional. Avoid the trap of busy work and focus on high-impact tasks that truly move the needle in your business.
- Consistency is Key: Successful entrepreneurs understand that consistency is crucial, but they also know that they must stay focused on what truly matters. Pick your platform (e.g., LinkedIn, Instagram) and commit to it rather than spreading yourself too thin.
Overcoming Mindset Blocks:
- Perfectionism: Perfectionism often stops business owners from taking action. Grace shares how the fear of not being perfect can keep entrepreneurs from showing up in their business consistently.
- Fear of Judgment: Many entrepreneurs hold back from posting on social media or making sales because they fear judgment. This fear often stems from limiting beliefs about not being good enough.
- The Importance of Self-Reflection: Grace suggests setting aside time each week to reflect on your business and identify why certain areas aren’t working. This self-reflection helps uncover limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.
- The Shift Happens When You Recognize the Block: Once you bring your limiting beliefs into awareness, you can start to shift them. That shift often leads to breakthroughs in how you show up in your business and the results you get.
Key Quotes:
- “Mindset blocks are the biggest thing holding entrepreneurs back from success. Once you shift your mindset, everything changes.”
- “Perfectionism is a trap. Done is better than perfect.”
- “When you act like your future self, your brain begins to believe it. You start becoming that person.”
- “Consistency isn’t about being busy. It’s about doing the right things consistently.”
- “If your mindset is holding you back, no strategy will save you. You have to address your mindset first.”
Actionable Steps for Entrepreneurs:
- Shift Your Mindset: Identify your limiting beliefs and start shifting them. Recognize that these beliefs are just stories you’ve been telling yourself. Rewrite those stories with new, empowering beliefs.
- Own Your Part: Take responsibility for where you are and where you want to go. Own your strengths and areas for growth.
- Be Intentional with Your Actions: Instead of running around trying to do everything, be intentional with your actions. Focus on high-impact activities that directly contribute to your goals.
- Practice Consistency: Stay consistent with your efforts, even when things don’t feel perfect. Choose your platform and stick with it—don’t get distracted by every new idea that comes your way.
