Activity 15: Crushing the Fear-Mindset

Time to break down those barriers keeping you from being an expert!

crush the fear

Are there still some concerns about calling yourself an expert or narrowing your focus/specialty?  If there are, then it is time to address and reframe those.  You know how to do this with clients.  Now, let's turn the focus on you!

I will get you started:

  • The Fear:  There is too much competition in the marketplace, I have to cast a wider net and see anyone and everyone I can get.
  • The Reframe:  In order to compete, I have to stand out, not blend in.  A wider net means the fish can swim right through, so I need to aim for what I want.
  • The Fear:  I am too “green” to be a specialist or an expert.
  • The Reframe:  ________________________________________________________________
  • The Fear:  It feels like false advertising to call myself an expert.
  • The Reframe:  ________________________________________________________________
  • The Fear:  I don't want to get "pigeonholed" into seeing only one type of person.
  • The Reframe:  ________________________________________________________________
  • The Fear:  There are others out there with my specialty.  How am I supposed to compete with people who have been doing this in private practice longer than me?
  • The Reframe:  ________________________________________________________________
  • MY Fear:  ________________________________________________________________
  • The Reframe:  ________________________________________________________________
