even tried and tested? And why have we become so good at telling ourselves not to go through with something that we might have been hyping ourselves up for, for months?\n\nWhether it\u2019s that meeting you\u2019ve pencilled in with a potential investor, a chance to be interviewed by a renowned media company, or an opportunity to build that business that you\u2019ve always wanted to build \u2013 chances are you might\u2019ve gotten so good at self-rejection that you\u2019ve started looking for a personal cheerleader to quieten that voice in your head telling you you\u2019re not good enough. Even though everyone else seems to think \u2013 god forbid, that you are, actually.\n\nAnd before you even suggest it \u2013 contrary to popular belief, limiting beliefs are not something that are an exclusive experience that only female founders and business owners have.\n\nIn fact, it does not care what gender you identify as, and frankly, neither should you.\n\nLet\u2019s investigate limiting beliefs so that you can start embracing life at its fullest and quiet down that annoying inner critic of yours.\n<h2 id=\"what-are-self-limiting-beliefs\">What are self-limiting beliefs?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Illustration by Liz Fosslien\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20534 size-full\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/lizandmollie.png\" width=\"512\"\/><em>Image Credit: Liz Fosslien from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lizandmollie\/?hl=en\">@lizandmollie<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\n\nEver told yourself you\u2019re not good enough to do something that someone else thinks highly of you about? That is a self-limiting belief in its most basic form.\n\nIt\u2019s one thing to be rejected or talked out of something by an external factor such as someone else, or a hurdle you face. But it\u2019s a completely different ball game when it comes to our own limiting beliefs \u2013 they\u2019re much harder to control.\n\nBut it\u2019s not impossible.\n<h2 id=\"how-does-a-limiting-belief-affect-your-business-and-team-members\">How does a limiting belief affect your business and team members?<\/h2>\nIf you\u2019ve got <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/okrs-guide\/\">big, hairy audacious goals<\/a> when it comes to the success of your business and the team behind it, having limiting beliefs can be an unwanted anchor and hold you back from achieving those big ambitions.\n\nAs soon as you open that \u2018what if\u2019 can of worms, big goals you\u2019ve dreamed up together can suddenly seem scary and intimidating.\n\nThink of it like a ripple effect. Everything starts from the top down so when people look to you for inspiration, or if you\u2019re trying to build a workplace culture \u2013 what you do can inspire your team or have an adverse effect.\n\nThe crown is a beautiful thing that everyone wants, but is heavy to carry after all.\n\nAnd when everyone looks to you for answers, having limiting beliefs sneaking into your internal dialogue is intimidating.\n\nThis makes it trickier to navigate, and harder to identify your limiting beliefs as soon as they sneak up on you.\n\n<h2 id=\"how-can-i-identify-my-own-limiting-beliefs\">How can I identify my own limiting beliefs?<\/h2>\nSelf awareness is key to being able to identify a limiting belief. Especially because limiting beliefs come in different shapes and sizes and can sometimes be easily confused with imposter syndrome.\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">While imposter syndrome focuses on the notion that you are not good enough despite the amazing things you\u2019ve already achieved (even when you have receipts to prove it)\u00a0limiting beliefs tend to be more about feeling like you are not good enough which in turn holds you back from doing something you want.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Liz Fosslien on what if things work out?\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28805\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1.png\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1.png 500w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-54x54.png 54w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-108x108.png 108w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-390x390.png 390w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-216x216.png 216w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-432x432.png 432w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-112x112.png 112w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-224x224.png 224w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-142x142.png 142w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienwhatifitdoes-1-284x284.png 284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><em>Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fosslien.com\/liz-fosslien-an-important-reframe\">Liz Fosslien<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"some-common-limiting-beliefs\">Some common limiting beliefs<\/h3>\nTo help you identify limiting beliefs easily, we\u2019ve rounded up the most common examples. These include things such as:\n<h3 id=\"1-i-dont-have-enough-time\">1. I don\u2019t have enough time<\/h3>\nGuilty of over using the excuse that you don\u2019t have enough time? You are not alone. It\u2019s something many of us default to but when it comes down to it, if something else pops up that you like doing are \u2013 chances are you will prioritise that.\n\nOvercome this by breaking the overarching goal into small steps and give yourself a small reward upon completion of a number of stages.\n<h3 id=\"2-i-am-too-young-for-this\">2. I am too young for this<\/h3>\nHave big dreams you want to achieve? Intimidated by age because of lack of experience you feel is missing? This is a normal reaction.\n\nTry shifting your mindset by focusing on what motivates you instead. Go break those barriers!\n<h3 id=\"3-i-am-too-old-for-this\">3. I am too old for this<\/h3>\nHave a company you\u2019ve always wanted to start? Want to change careers? Worried that your age will hold you back?\n\nDon\u2019t self-reject and hang around this mindset long enough for the what-ifs to kick in. You\u2019ve worked hard to get this far, and if you\u2019ve found that perhaps it is not what you are seeking, you deserve the chance to explore different opportunities.\n<h3 id=\"4-i-dont-have-what-it-takes\">4. I don\u2019t have what it takes<\/h3>\nOne of the hardest limiting beliefs to overcome because the main challenge here is to understand your worth.\n\nTry creating a small wins list, that you can lean on when times get tough and this belief starts kicking in. List every win in it \u2013 no matter how big or small.\n<h3 id=\"5-what-if-i-end-up-embarrassing-myself\">5. What if I end up embarrassing myself?<\/h3>\nEver rejected a really cool opportunity to do something you\u2019ve secretly wanted to do \u2013 because you were worried about embarrassing yourself? Similar to self-rejection, worries about embarrassing yourself can often mean that you miss out on opportunities.\n\nTry shifting your mindset by focusing on what if it goes really well. That\u2019ll probably shock your limiting belief a bit, though.\n<h3 id=\"6-what-if-i-make-a-mistake\">6. What if I make a mistake?<\/h3>\nFear of making mistakes is common. But growth only happens when you learn from those mistakes.\n\nInstead, focus on being accountable for your mistake and navigate past this by looking at ways forward and how to solve or fix the problem.\n<h3 id=\"7-what-if-this-fails\">7. What if this fails?<\/h3>\nBut what if it goes well? We know the common phrase \u2018mind over matter\u2019 can only go so far \u2013 but you\u2019ll be shocked to see how easy we accept negativity, and how hard we find it to be positive.\n\nTry asking yourself \u2013 what if it goes really well? And, if it doesn\u2019t go so well \u2013\u00a0what can you learn from it? Perhaps it\u2019ll be a good story and lesson learned.\n<h3 id=\"8-am-i-good-enough-to-write-this-article-and-educate-others-about-limiting-beliefs\">8. Am I good enough to write this article and educate others about limiting beliefs?<\/h3>\nIronically this author started having limiting beliefs while writing this article. They overcame this by talking to peers about it, and aspiring to inspire others to overcome it too.\n\nA bit of an accidental lead by example moment, really.\n\nAs you can see, these negative trails of thoughts can often be deeply ingrained into us as part of defense mechanisms to prevent ourselves from getting hurt by something or someone. They can also hold us back from self improvement, attaining that dream job or building that awesome company.\n\nSo how do you overcome them to realise your full potential?\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Liz Fosslien illustration of Omg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28806\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1.png\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1.png 500w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-54x54.png 54w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-108x108.png 108w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-390x390.png 390w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-216x216.png 216w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-432x432.png 432w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-112x112.png 112w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-224x224.png 224w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-142x142.png 142w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/lizfosslienomg-1-284x284.png 284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><em>Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fosslien.com\/liz-fosslien-oh-my-god\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liz Fosslien<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-overcome-limiting-beliefs-as-business-owners\">How to overcome limiting beliefs as business owners<\/h2>\nThe good news for the sceptics out there is that it isn\u2019t just about positive affirmations.\n\nWe spoke to some inspiring business owners around the world to inspire you to overcome your limiting beliefs. Unsurprisingly, a common trait they have is not positive thinking \u2013 as that can often feel forced, but rather, the ability to adopt a growth mindset as they seek to break glass ceilings.\n\nAnd if they can redefine their belief system to serve them better, so can you. Here are some of their best tips on overcoming limiting beliefs:\n<h3 id=\"1-overcome-the-natural-assumption-that-things-are-the-way-they-are-and-cant-be-changed-ben-thompson-ceo-of-employment-hero\"><em>1. \u201cOvercome the natural assumption that things are the way they are and can\u2019t be changed.\u201d<\/em> \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/\">Ben Thompson, CEO of 91±¬ΑΟ<\/a><\/h3>\nHow do you overcome limiting beliefs to build one of Australia\u2019s largest tech unicorns?\n\nBy understanding that you can break down the barriers that are in front of you by taking it into your own hands. Ben believes that once you understand that everything in the world is malleable you realise it is up to you to change the world for the better.\n\nThe ability to change and adapt your mindset to build and create good habits is important if you want to achieve this. A great way to do so is to lean on the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/how-to-use-rockefeller-habits\/\">Rockefeller Habits system<\/a>, a framework that Ben has personally used to catapult his team towards success.\n<h3 id=\"2-stop-and-think-about-why-you-are-having-these-thoughts-lenna-lou-founder-of-the-l-factor\"><em>2. \u201cStop and think about why you are having these thoughts.\u201d <\/em>\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelfactorltd.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lenna Lou, Founder of The L Factor<\/a><\/h3>\nWhat is a common trait that business owners have in common when experiencing limiting beliefs? Fear of failure and making mistakes.\n\nLenna has seen limiting beliefs stop even the brightest of us from doing something. She suggests that, <em>\u201cAs soon as you\u2019re having negative thoughts, the first thing you should do is ask yourself why you are having them.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\n\nIt sounds like a no-brainer but running a business means that you\u2019re constantly on the lookout for the next challenge and going a hundred miles an hour. Having that time to step back and pause to reflect, as simple as it sounds, can be a powerful technique.\n\nBy the way, leaders are not the only ones fearful of making mistakes. Owning up to mistakes at work as a team member can also be scary and intimidating. By creating <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/leaders-guide-company-culture\/\">a supportive environment for your team<\/a> you can reassure them that it is ok to make mistakes, and be accountable for them so that you can fix it together.\n<h3 id=\"3-look-at-obstacles-as-opportunities-in-disguises-chris-do-ceo-of-the-futur\"><em>3. \u201cLook at obstacles as opportunities in disguises\u201d &#8211;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/thefutur.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Do, CEO of The Futur<\/a><\/h3>\nWhy are some people often stuck, while others seem to be able to adapt quickly?\n\nChris believes that being able to reinvent yourself is key and you can do so by looking at obstacles as a gift, and as an opportunity to transform yourself to becoming more than what you thought you were capable of.\n\nHaving the mindset that allows you to want to try something new and different, and embrace obstacles as a way forward is a great way to overcome limiting beliefs.
