Who has control over your business? Because when the world gets wobbly, the answer matters more than ever

After a short break, Lindsey and Paul are back and ready to go for another season — having used the time to reset and catch their breath.

To kick things off, Lindsey had thought this episode should revisit what success looks like. But Paul had other ideas, bringing the question:

Who has control over your business?

It's an important one — especially with the world feeling a little wobbly again.

Because so often, sometimes without even realising it, we abdicate responsibility, blaming everything and everyone for what isn't happening in our businesses.

Together, Lindsey and Paul explore:

➡️ The influence news has over us — if we allow it to.
➡️ Stimulus and response — deciding how you feel.
➡️ Self-fulfilling prophecy — proving the thought you already had.
➡️ It's not easy, but it's not complicated — so why do we make it so?
➡️ Falling back into old habits and the opportunity to strengthen the mindset muscle.
➡️ What to do when you'restuck in the 'what else do I need to fix?' loop.

Bad news doesn't mean bad business. Lindsey and Paul have been here before and know they'll be here again — and because they've been around the block a few times,they find the present wobble a little easier to navigate. The good news? So can you.

Give it a listen!

As they bring the episode to a close, they remind you of the importance of your community, your network, and who you choose to listen to.
