255. Why You Can't Get Clear On Your Next Business Move (And How To Finally Decide)

Can't get clear on your next business move? You're not alone. In this episode, I'm breaking down why hustling for clarity keeps you stuck in confusion and what's actually happening at the subconscious level when you can't make a decision. Spoiler: it's not a discipline problem. Clarity is a byproduct of safety, not hustle. I'll walk you through exactly how to create the internal conditions that allow clarity to emerge, so you can finally stop second guessing yourself and start moving forward with confidence.Topics covered in this episode:Why confusion is actually a protection mechanism (and what your subconscious is protecting you from)The clarity trap: Why forcing clarity through journaling and strategy keeps you spinningWhat safety really means when it comes to making big business decisionsThe 5-step process to create safety so clarity can emerge naturallyHow to build evidence of your capacity so your subconscious trusts you to handle the next levelWhy clarity comes from embodying the future you, not analyzing the presentWhat changes when you stop hustling for clarity and start creating internal safety insteadConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram  | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at www.rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/

Do you feel like the bigger your business grows, the heavier everything feels? In today's episode, I'm exposing the five hidden CEO patterns that are keeping your business stuck, and trust me, you're probably running at least one of them right now.I've watched countless entrepreneurs hit their first big months, then mysteriously collapse back down, or build successful businesses while secretly feeling like they're constantly firefighting. Sound familiar? These aren't flaws or signs you're broken; they're outdated subconscious strategies that got you here but won't get you there. From the adrenaline achiever who thrives on chaos to the "can I hold it?" CEO who hits milestones but can't sustain them, I'm breaking down exactly which patterns are running your show behind the scenes.Plus, I'm sharing why that "I work best under pressure" mentality that built your business is now the very thing holding you back from scaling sustainably. By the end of this episode, you'll finally understand why strategy alone isn't fixing the problem and which specific pattern is creating your current bottleneck.Topics covered on The 5 Hidden CEO Patterns That Stall Growth:Why does business feel harder the more money you make, even when you have the right strategies?What’s really happening when you hit big months but can’t seem to get back there?Which hidden CEO pattern is secretly sabotaging your scaling efforts (and how leaving everything to the last minute is just one of them)?Do you keep hiring team members but still feel like everything’s on your shoulders?How does your need for control become the exact bottleneck stopping your growth?What hidden CEO pattern keeps you redoing your offer instead of actually launching it?Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipThe Subconscious InstituteCome say hi on Instagram  | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at https://rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/the-5-hidden-ceo-patterns-that-stall-growth

Everyone’s terrified of failure. But quite frankly it’s not failure that breaks most businesses, it’s growth.Failure feels familiar, predictable, even safe to your subconscious. Growth, on the other hand, demands more capacity, more identity shifts and more responsibility than most CEOs are wired for. That’s why so many plateau, sabotage, or collapse at the exact moment things should be taking off.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why growth exposes every subconscious crack you’ve been ignoring, the hidden patterns I see high level entrepreneurs run on repeat, and how to protect yourself so scaling doesn’t stall you, it sustains you.If you’ve ever wondered why your business looks “perfect on paper” but still isn’t working this one is for you.Topics covered in this episode:Why failure feels safer than growth to your subconscious.The capacity demands growth adds that no strategy can fix.The three hidden patterns CEOs fall into when they scale.Why strategy alone won’t save you if identity hasn’t caught up.How to rewire your subconscious so growth amplifies success, not sabotage“Growth doesn’t break businesses because growth is bad.

Affirmations alone won’t rewire your subconscious and that’s exactly why so many high level business owners feel frustrated when they’ve been “doing the work” but still feel stuck.In this episode, I break down why affirmations by themselves don’t create lasting change, how the self-development industry has sold us a half truth, and what actually rewires your subconscious to believe a new level of success.If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m abundant, I’m confident, I’m ready” only to launch and feel the opposite, this episode will show you why, and what to do instead.Topics Covered in This Episode:Why affirmations alone don’t work for business ownersThe three elements your subconscious needs to adopt a new belief (repetition, emotion, safety)How identity drives behaviour and makes belief automaticPractical prompts to start rewiring your subconscious todayConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram  | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at https://rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/can-you-really-rewire-belief-without-10000-affirmations

Ever bought that perfect planner thinking THIS time you'll finally follow through? Let me tell you exactly why you can't stay consistent – and gorgeous, it's not what you think. I'm about to blow your mind with something that goes way deeper than discipline or willpower.You know that frustrating pattern where you're perfect for a week, maybe a month, then suddenly you're back to square one?

Are you sitting there waiting for proof before you raise your prices, launch that bigger offer, or actually show up at the size of your goddamn vision? Your internal movie is the exact reason you're stuck seeking evidence that will never fricking come. You might be telling yourself you're ready for bigger, ready for those 100K clients, ready to play at the level that matches your vision, but something keeps pulling you back to the familiar. You test things once, see no big reaction from your community, and shelve them before they can take off. You map out the higher price point but hold off until you get "signs" your audience is ready. You create that new offer but mention it so lightly that no one even knows it exists. Sound familiar? There's a sophisticated form of stalling happening in your subconscious right now, dressed up as being strategic or cautious. So today we're going deep into why your brain works this way, how it's keeping you looking for proof that won't come, and exactly how to build a new internal movie that makes your next level feel like the most natural thing in the world.Topics covered on Internal Movie:What exactly is an "internal representation," and how is it controlling your results?How does your subconscious fill empty files when you haven't experienced something yet?How can you build a new internal movie that your subconscious treats as already lived?What specific anchoring techniques lock in the feelings from your new internal movie?The three steps to rewiring your subconscious before the external proof arrives.Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram  | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at https://rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/your-internal-movie-is-keeping-you-stuck
