E15: I Failed My 90-Day Goal in Exactly 2 Weeks

Self-Compassion: The CEO’s Competitive Edge for Resilience and Growth Episode Summary: I have a confession: Last week, I publicly committed to a "Quarterly Rock" of publishing three podcast episodes a week. That plan lasted exactly two weeks. This week, I’m only publishing one. In the past, I would have beaten myself up, spiraled into shame, and likely quit. But this time, I’m using a different strategy: *Self-Compassion*. While it might sound "soft," research shows that self-compassion is actually a hard-edged competitive advantage for business owners. In this episode, I break down the science behind why beating yourself up releases cortisol that kills your strategic thinking, while self-compassion releases oxytocin that helps you solve problems. I share the 6 scientific reasons why self-compassion outperforms self-criticism (including new research on athletes and procrastination) and give you 3 practical tools to stop the shame spiral and get back to work today. *Read the full show notes and access the research mentioned here:*https://masteringbusinessflow.com/pos...
