TIP 41: The Hidden Cost of Chasing Shiny Objects

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?
In this week’s episode of the Thrive in Practice podcast, I dive into how we often get sidetracked by the next big thing—whether it’s a new marketing trend, the latest tool, or a hot business strategy everyone’s buzzing about. 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.

TIP 40: Why People Pleasing Is Killing Your Business & Personal Growth

Are you a people pleaser?
It’s a tough habit to break, but what if trying to be all things to all people is holding you back? What if the constant effort to please everyone is standing in the way of your success?
I learned a valuable lesson from my mentor, who once said, “You’re not ice cream, not everyone’s going to like you.” It’s a tough truth, but one that’s crucial for any business owner. As much as we want to help and connect with everyone, the reality is we can’t please everyone, and that’s perfectly okay.
In this week’s episode of the Thrive in Practice podcast, I dive into why embracing this mindset is so important for growing your practice and how trying to cater to everyone can lead to burnout and a lack of fulfilment.
By learning to focus on the clients who align with your values and approach, you’ll not only build stronger relationships but also attract the right people and stay true to what makes your practice unique.
