Thoughts = Results, Be Careful of the Shit You Tell Yourself

If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or founder feeling stuck, second-guessing yourself, or hesitating to grow this episode is essential listening.

In this brutally honest episode, Dr. Lewis Haydon reveals how the beliefs you hold especially the ones you’ve picked up from people who’ve never built anything are quietly sabotaging your business. From throwaway comments at family barbecues to the “jokes” you make about yourself, every word becomes a command to your brain. And it’s costing you.

This episode isn’t mindset fluff. It’s real, from-the-trenches strategy for rewiring how you think, speak, and lead so you can scale without self-sabotage.

You’ll learn:

• How offhand comments from others create mental ceilings.
• Why advice from “non-players” is silently eroding your confidence.
• The difference between personality traits and excuses—and how to stop hiding behind them.
• How language shapes execution, leadership, hiring, and growth.
• Why “I’m not a salesperson” is one of the most dangerous beliefs in business.

Whether it’s hiring, sales, confidence, or strategy, you’ll leave this episode knowing exactly what beliefs to cut, what words to stop saying, and how to speak like a CEO who’s actually going somewhere.

Takeaways:

• Words build or destroy confidence use them like a leader.
• “I’m shy,” “I’m bad at sales,” “I can’t manage people”, they’re not truths, they’re borrowed limits.
• Advice from someone who hasn’t done what you’re building is often protection, not perspective.
• Win-win or no deal: reframe every business conversation with clarity and confidence.
