Listen in as masterful educator and Harvard grad physician, Dr. Vanessa Calderón, teaches you how to let go of the things standing in the way of your success as a leader. Get ready, this podcast will accelerate your personal and professional growth.

    146. How to take a Loss in Business and in Life

    146. How to take a Loss in Business and in Life

    One thing that has really helped me play life big, achieve big things in my business and in my life, while also having fun is learning how to take an L, and by L, I mean, a Loss.

     

    Confession: I used to be super competitive. So much so, that if I didn't think I could win, I didn't want to play.

     

    And let me tell you, that did not make for a lot of fun and play, and it also made L's feel terrible.

     

    Then one day, I played a game that changed everything for me.

     

    On this week's podcast, I share that story with you. I also help you understand why you may be playing small by consciously (or subconsciously) avoiding losses and failures. And, I’ll teach you what to do about it.

    145. The courage to have difficult conversations

    But, alas, life is life. It's not always perfect. And, if we want more peace and fulfillment in our lives, we need to stop avoiding difficult conversations.

    I’m pausing our self-discipline series, to share a conversation that will help you think differently about the pain you carry, and may help you rethink how you approach the year. We’ll be back to our self-discipline series next week.

    137. Mastering Self-Discipline: Part 1 The real reason why you're not disciplined

    137. Mastering Self-Discipline: Part 1 The real reason why you're not disciplined

    The Business Accelerator Mastermind: Learn more and Join the Waitlist

     

    Do you need to be more self-disciplined?

    What would be different for you if you were more disciplined?


    If you're like many of my students, you may think that if you were just more disciplined then you could achieve [insert ideal state here].

     

    However, in working together, my students are always surprised to learn the real reason behind their discipline problems.

     

    Sneak peak: It has little to do with lack of will, and a lot to do with the old school, outdated, patriarchal way of thinking about self-discipline.

     

    So, in the spirit of January, new beginnings, and a time of the year of high inspiration and motivation, I'm creating a four-part series on mastering self-discipline and using the science of self-discipline to get more done.

     

    Starting with Part 1, where we get super clear on the real reasons why you're not more disciplined.

     

    Once we clear this up, then we jump into all of the science behind self-discipline, and how to use the science of self-discipline and human motivation to really start getting more done in your day, so that you start getting more done in less time, and live a life of purpose without stress and burnout.
