Alright, it's time to journey within and go beyond. Welcome to another episode of the Traveling Hypnotist podcast. I'm your host, Nicole Hernandez, and today we're diving into a topic that I know is going to resonate with you. Possibly a friend, possibly somebody else you know, and that is overcoming the fear of failure, especially when it comes to starting your dream business. Now, today's episode is part of the mini series high frequency success, which is all about where your ambition is meeting your mission in life. Now, before we get started, I just wanted to let you know that I'm opening the doors to the high frequency accelerator on October 1. This is my business group container. The high frequency accelerator is for spiritually attuned entrepreneurs and business leaders who are feeling burnt out. And you're just craving an aligned, intuitive approach to your work, to your life. So everything we're doing inside of this group is designed to help you break free from overworking, to align with your natural gifts, to conquer the mental blocks, which is usually the biggest hurdle, and to create a business that flows effortlessly. So if you want to learn more, you can go to my Instagram at thisishish high frequency, or you can visit my website at thetraveling hypnotist.com dot. Today's episode is actually based on a real client session using my signature approach, the TTH method. And that's where I'm incorporating modern hypnotherapy, success, coaching, somatic tools, and a lot of intuitive understanding of business. For the last 20 years now, I met with this young woman and she has an incredible culinary background. In fact, her family has launched restaurants. She's been in the space, she knows it inside and out. And yet, despite her skillset, despite her passion for the culinary industry, she was finding herself paralyzed by the fear of failure and starting her own business. And that might sound familiar to you because it is something that comes up all the time in my private coaching sessions. So my client was doing the right things on the surface. She had started hosting private parties for her friends. She was planning menus. She was cooking. But deep down, she wasn't fully committed to her dream becoming this high end private chef. And it was a classic case of, I'm gonna go do something else to make money. That doesn't really fulfill me, even though I know deep down that this is what I really want. But I'm so afraid that if I step into what I really want, I'll screw it up and I'll never be a success doing what I really love. So I'm going to break down the three strategies that we use to overcome her fear of failure. And I want you to pay close attention to strategy number three, because it's actually the game changer, the piece that brings all of this together. And I actually believe it could do the same for you. So let's dive in. So, the first strategy we used is to reframe your perspective. My client was so focused on the possibility of failing that she couldn't see the success that she was already achieving. So we really worked on shifting her perspective to recognize and celebrate the small wins that she was already experiencing. So, for example, we started looking at every successful private event she's already hosted as proof of her skills and the market demand. Every single positive comment from a guest, from a friend about her cooking style, about the food she presented, was a validation of her talent. And we can just start by shifting our focus on what's actually working. And so by acknowledging these small victories, we start to actually create this foundation of confidence that we can build upon. And this is why reframing is so crucial, because it changes the narrative from what if I fail to look, how I'm already succeeding. And the thing is, it's not about ignoring the possibility of failure or making mistakes along the way, but it's also giving you equal, if not more, weight to the possibility of success. And this is really key, because if we don't change the inner narrative about what is possible for us, we will always continue to live in the lesser lane, to say, I'm not good enough, I'm going to fail, and therefore, I will never go for it. So this is really step one for you. The second strategy we implemented was visualizing success. So I led my client through a very powerful hypnotherapy session where she imagined meeting three of her culinary heroes. And in this hypnosis, each mentor offered her a hypnotic gift. So the first gift she got was actually a coconut. And if you've seen a coconut, you know that on the outside, especially those little brown ones you've seen on the outside, they're hard. And if you were just to look at it from afar, you wouldn't know that there's something really great inside side of it. And it really showcased to her that sometimes on the outside, we look at these opportunities, and they look so difficult, and all we can see is the tough exterior, and we don't allow ourselves to move into it. Right. To break through that rough exterior and find the sweetness on the inside. A second symbol that came to her was being given this brighten, positive energy, helping her to see her own potential. And I would say, over the years, I've really worked with people on their blocks. And when I say blocks, what I really mean is that we all have potential in us. Potential talents, potential gifts. But often we're working out of the low frequency of those gifts, which is the shadow. And when we're working from the shadow, it's all about scarcity, it's all about fear. But when you work for the high frequency of our energy, it not only allows us to see possibility, but there's a different way that we move through the world. We actually, energetically, can be felt by other people as being the person that they want to be around, the person they want to connect with, and in this case, the person that they want to create their menus and lead their private dining experiences. And I really started using a lot of. Of human design in the work that I do with my private clients because it helps us to quickly and efficiently identify some of your talents and your gifts and actually pinpoint where you're working from that low frequency instead of the high frequency. And the third symbol that she got during this hypnosis session was that she was handed a seashell. And for her, that symbolized the beauty and the power of authenticity. A shell has different grooves in it. It has its own perfection in its own form, and so do you. You have your perfection in your own form, and that's so key for you to remember. Now, the reason I like to use hypnotherapy, and especially having people get their own insights from their sessions, is because when you have those insights that come from you, not just from me, you feel the possibility inside of you. You feel that things are shifting inside, and that is the game changer. So this exercise that we moved through actually helped her connect with her passion and potential in a very different way. It wasn't logical. It was emotional. Now, if you're listening to this and you are resonating with the content you're resonating with, realizing that the fear of failure might be holding you back. You're really going to want to get into the high frequency accelerator, because the work that we're going to be doing in there as a group is going to fundamentally change the way you look at the world and open doors to what's possible for you. I personally have put myself in groups over the last few years, and every time I do, it just rocks my world. I see a huge shift in places that I was plateauing before. So if this is something that you're interested in learning more, you can always just send me a quick DM, the word group on Instagram and you can find me at. This is high frequency because I think it's time for you to not allow fear to hold you back any longer. So reach out if this is you, and let's get you on your journey to high frequency success. All right, so now let's move on to the third and most powerful strategy. And this is, again, the strategy that brings everything together, and that is taking imperfect action. You see, my client's fear of failure was keeping her in a state of perpetual preparation. And this happens a lot. We're always planning, we're always learning, and we're never quite ready to take the leap because we do never think that we have enough information or that we are really ready. But what I have learned personally as an entrepreneur since 2017 and starting the traveling hypnotist brand in 2019 is that you have to take imperfect action. And you're going to learn so much faster when you do that, because that's where you embody the learning. And that embodiment is the difference between somebody who sits there wondering if they're ever going to reach their dreams and the person that actually does. So for this client, we simply integrated a powerful role for her. Every week, she had to take one small action step towards her dream, no matter how imperfect or insignificant it seemed. Now, this could be something as simple as making a list of potential clients, filming herself as she's making a meal, researching the social media accounts of the other private chefs that she really loves, and noticing what kind of content really resonates with not only her, but the audiences. And then, of course, just taking action, because we can spend all of our time creating the business plan, but you're going to know a lot more, as I said earlier, when you just take action. So the magic of this approach is that we build momentum. Each small action, no matter the outcome, is actually a step forward. It's proof that you're committed to your dream. And over time, all these small actions compound. They create real progress and boost your confidence. So for my client, this strategy was transformative. So within weeks, she'd already hosted a dinner and started getting paid for what she loves doing. I want to be totally honest here. The fear of failure isn't going to disappear overnight, but it no longer has to paralyze you. And the more that we actually sit in the fear, the more that we turn away from doing the things that we love, the more power we actually give the fear. So when you understand and really get inside that, by not approaching that fear, by not confronting it, you're giving it more power, then you can understand that we have to keep stepping closer and closer to the fear, asking what it's about and just starting to take action. Because everything you need is already inside of you. Now, if you're ready to overcome your fear of failure and start taking imperfect action towards your dreams, I want to invite you to consider working with me. Either through my new group, container high frequency accelerator, or one to one, we can dive into your specific challenges, create a personalized strategy to help overcome them, and then provide support and accountability so you can keep moving forward. Because seeking help isn't a sign of weakness. It's actually a powerful step towards becoming the person you're meant to be. And I have personally worked with CEO's, executives at Google, even royalty. And I will tell you, the difference between somebody who is highly successful and who is not is that they get the mentorship and the guidance of someone that can help them move forward. Because we cannot conquer the problem from the same frequency that created it. So if you're ready to take that step, dm me on instagram at thisish and let's start your high frequency success journey together. Well, thank you for tuning in to this episode of the traveling hypnotist podcast. And remember, on the other side of fear is everything you've ever wanted. So journey within and go beyond. I'll see you in the next episode.
