In this Soul-Fueled CEO Masterclass, we cover topics like anxiety, self-worth, taking the leap in business, and so many other things. We dissect the power of The 5-Second Rule, and how you can apply it to your own life to kickstart massive transformation with small, powerful changes. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How Mel developed the 5 Second Rule just to get out of bed and then used it to shake up her entire life Why self-doubt isn’t who you are and how to break that pattern of behavior How Mel cured herself of anxiety with the 5 Second Rule What a ‘mental smoking break’ is and how we take them all day long to procrastinate and deal with stress How to re-train yourself to deal with the things that trigger your anxiety The 3 buckets that determine your success in life and business and how to work around your weaknesses to make success easier to achieve. Why it’s gracious to accept praise and how to acknowledge the people who compliment you How to go to war with imposter syndrome and interrupt the pattern MEL’S JOURNEY Being unemployed at 41 years old, facing leans on her house, and a huge financial crisis Getting to a point where her dreams didn’t seem possible and being overwhelmed with self-doubt Beating her habit of hitting the snooze button and figuring out how to change any pattern of behavior with a simple technique WHAT I ASK: How do I use the 5-Second Rule to love myself and take care of me? Was there ever a point after the 5-Second Rule that you again struggled and got overwhelmed? What was the course of action you took to get out of it? Can you use the 5-Second Rule to hear the praise and positive affirmations people are trying to say to you? Are there any moments when the 5-Second Rule hasn’t worked for you and do you give yourself consequences when you don’t do what you should do? SOUL-FUELED QUOTES BY MEL ROBBINS: “Behind any success story, there’s at least 10 years of suffering.” “You can always control what you say, what you think, and what you do.” “You don’t need to know how it’s going to turn out. You need to learn to trust your inner-wisdom.” “Your dreams come down to your decisions. Your life, the happiness you have come down to your decisions.” “You are one decision away from a totally different life.” “If you aren’t valuing yourself, it’s not because you aren’t worth something. Your worth is your worth.” DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage
