Have you ever wondered why you aren't progressing, even when you feel like you are putting in the work?
Bestselling author Thomas Blackwell recently joined me on the show, and he shared a concept that completely shifted my perspective:
Most of us are walking around in a mental prison built entirely by our own words.
In his book, Liberty of Language Revealed, Thomas explains the literal, physical science behind how our everyday vocabulary dictates our reality.
During our interview, he shared a story about firing a real estate agent before they were even hired. Why? Because the agent said two specific words: "I'll try."
Those non-committal words—"I'll try," "Maybe," "I think so"—are silently destroying your professional trust and keeping you stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage.
I pulled a specific 10-minute masterclass segment from our interview where Thomas breaks down exactly how to stop acting like a chicken when you were born an eagle.
