Are Your Thoughts Holding You Back? Harnessing Your Mindset with Tiffany Peterson

by D'Arcy Benincosa

Imagine if you could shape your life and business, just by changing your thoughts… Would you give it a try? In this episode, Life & Business Coach, Tiffany Peterson shares her formula for success that led to her quadrupling her income in one year! Bottom line: Your mindset is such a powerful resource, so if you’re not harnessing it, then you’re missing out on some serious goodness (and big paychecks).

Say it with me:

My thoughts become my reality.

Acknowledging this truth is the biggest hill to climb when it comes to manifesting things you’ve only daydreamed about. Knowing that our brains are wired for negativity is the next big hill to face (one that’s even more butt-busting to get past).

I’d bet a hundred bucks you’ve said at least one of the following thoughts to yourself in the past few days:

“I’m just not good enough.”

“Why can’t I book a single wedding, I am seriously a bad photographer.”

“This investment in my business is just too expensive right now. It’s better to wait.”

“It’s not time yet to go after what I really want.”

I’ve been there before- believe me!

But my inner voice, the one that I’ve trained myself to listen to more, has spoken to me in these moments, too. And I’ve learned there are times when you have to pop on your Big Girl Pants and tell Ms. Scarcity to shut her mouth (and thank you for your concern).

The greatest way to combat that human instinct toward negativity (it’s a survival technique!) is to make space for your highest, most intuitive self. Because she is always there. And she only speaks in whispers. In moments of chaos, overwhelm, and low vibration energy, you might miss out on the moments where she’ll affirm you, your gifts, and the ability you have to create the life of your dreams. In fact, it’s already taken care of. It’s up to you to channel it.

That is truly how our thoughts work. That’s how the law of attraction works. Not all things come that quickly—but knowing that they can at any time is the magic of life.

Here’s just a few key insights from this week’s episode with Tiffany that are rocking my world… Listen to the episode for more!

Key Insights:

Thoughts become things:

Your mindset or belief is like a lens –– they shape what we see.
Gratitude journal, prayer, meditation, writing “I am” statements –– there are so many ways to focus your mindset
We have lots of concepts or seeds of ideas and goals, but how we make it become a reality is by fertilizing them with our beliefs.

Do the work of Self-Worth!

So many of us have our self-worth attached to our income, performance and achievements. It’s okay to celebrate these things, but don’t attach your worth to them.
When you have an idea in your mind of where you think you should be, you’re not giving yourself the space to step into your purpose and become clearer on your gifts and talents.
The majority of our relationships are seasonal – YOU are the only guaranteed relationship that you’ll travel this journey with, so choose to have a better relationship with yourself!
The one place where you’ll have the highest return on your investment is your own mind. When you’re intentional about your thoughts and mindset, you’ll see the greatest rewards.

The most important marketing technique is CARING!

NO matter what any of us sell, we’re in the people business. By nourishing relationships you’ll find it easier to sell and have a thriving business.
“No one outgrows the need to feel appreciated.”
“Seek first to understand before you’re understood.” –– ask your audience/clients/customers more questions about themselves. This not only makes them feel more cared for, but you’ll be able to serve them better by knowing their needs!
When their needs align with your gifts, that’s when you’ll really thrive!
As people give you resources or money, acknowledge that by investing a portion of that back into them.
