Modesty is Dangerous
Manage episode 424124690 series 3561877
Are you playing too small in your business? Today, I'm questioning everything that you might believe about modesty and its role in holding you back from all you're capable of.
As Maya Angelou said, "Modesty is dangerous. It's a learned affectation."
For far too long, we've been conditioned to believe that being meek, humble and modest are virtues. But guess what? That's just propaganda designed to keep the status quo intact and prevent you from unleashing your power.
In this episode, I'm ripping off the shackles of modesty myth and inviting you to embrace your greatness, unapologetically. Because when you continually downplay your achievements, fail to advocate for yourself, and argue against your best interested, nobody wins.
We explore:
- How modesty is a learned behavior and dangerous affectation that keeps you playing small in your business.
- How we've been conditioned to believe modesty and humility are virtues, but this propaganda maintains the status quo and prevents you from unleashing your true power.
- Why so many people have an uneasy relationship with power and how to reframe your relationship towards a new paradigm of collaborative, community-focused power that creates win-wins.
- The value of 'difficult' emotions such as jealousy, to spotlight what you crave, and prepare to **** some people off - because unleashing your boldness is a radical act that will inevitably ruffle feathers.
If you're ready to throw off the shackles of modesty and design a life of massive impact and income without compromising your values, join me at the Vision Unbound Retreat this October. It's a powerful container for visioning your biggest, boldest future. Spots are limited, and the earlier you book, the better your price.
