TIP 51: When Skill Isn’t Enough
Monday Sep 15, 2025
Monday Sep 15, 2025
Most health practitioners believe success comes from working harder, knowing more, or perfecting their skills. But what if the real difference between those who grow their practice and those who burn out has nothing to do with that?
In this episode, we look at lessons from one of the toughest selection programs in the world, Navy SEAL training, where even the smartest, strongest candidates fail under pressure. When the right mindset and techniques are applied, performance changes dramatically.
I’ll discuss how the same principles that help SEALs handle extreme challenges can help you stay resilient, focused, and decisive in your business.
Because in the end, success isn’t only about skill or knowledge, it’s about how you show up under pressure.

What if I told you that getting everything you wanted can be the hardest part?
That’s exactly what I discovered when the stress and chaos in my life finally cleared. Just when I thought I’d be free to fly, doubts started creeping in: Am I really capable of this? What if I can’t make it work? Do I deserve it?

Are you suffering from Shiny Object Syndrome?
It’s easy to get caught up in the latest gadgets, tools, or strategies that promise to skyrocket your business or income. But what if, instead of accelerating your growth, they’re holding you back?

The truth is that constantly chasing shiny objects can leave you feeling overwhelmed, scattered, and cloud your judgment.
I’ll discuss how this constant distraction can prevent you from building a solid foundation for your business and how to recognise when you’re veering off course. Plus, I’ll share tips on how to refocus your energy and put your attention back on the strategies and actions that will help your practice thrive.
