The Stories You're Telling Yourself...
Every business owner has stories they tell themselves.
"No one wants to pay my prices." "I can't find good employees." "Marketing doesn't work." "I'm too small to compete."
But what if those aren't facts? What if they're simply stories that have been repeated so often, they've become accepted as truth?
In this episode we explore how our assumptions shape the decisions we make—and introduces the concept of confirmation bias, the psychological tendency to seek evidence that supports what we already believe while ignoring evidence that challenges it.
You'll learn how questioning your own assumptions can unlock better leadership, stronger decision-making, and new opportunities for growth.
Sometimes changing your business starts by changing your perspective.
In This Episode You'll Learn
- Why many business problems begin with assumptions—not reality
- How confirmation bias quietly influences leadership decisions
- Four common stories that hold businesses back
- Why curiosity is one of a leader's greatest competitive advantages
- Practical questions to help challenge limiting beliefs
- How changing your perspective can change your business
Reflection Questions:
What story have I accepted as fact without questioning it? What evidence supports that belief? What evidence might I be ignoring? If the opposite were true, what would I expect to see? What would change if I approached this challenge with curiosity instead of certainty?
The stories you believe become the decisions you make. Change the story, and you may change the future of your business.
