A anchor can be a very useful tool. In moments of nerves, challenge or anxiety a anchor can be fired to put your mind and body into a different state, it's very easy and simple technique to learn. I have just added a video to the Anchoring Mini Course on here, it's available to all until the end of February when it will move into Premium. After you have completed the course, please come back here and share with us, how you found it and what feelings you anchored.

How can we change our beliefs - check out the subject of Reframing in the classroom.😊

Trust it more. lesson 4: regret is always louder than rejection. lesson 5: do not let the internet tell you how hard you should or shouldn't work. lesson 6: everything is figure-out-able if you’re willing to look stupid. lesson 7: anger is often just fear in disguise. lesson 8: your health is the foundation under every ambition. Without it, nothing stands. lesson 9: if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it deeply. lesson 10: your childhood is an explanation, not a justification. lesson 11: you become unstoppable the day embarrassment stops being a price you fear. lesson 12: if it costs your peace, it’s too expensive. lesson 13: the people you love will always be your best investment. lesson 14: growth feels a lot like loss at first. lesson 15: if you can’t change it, change how you see it. lesson 16: most timeframes and delays people give you are fake - it's just "how it's always been done".

Chase environments that make those goals inevitable. lesson 26: mind your own business. I’m curious, which of these lessons did you have to learn the hard way? Drop the number in the comments. Or, if you have a Lesson 27 that I missed, leave it below. I’ll be reading through ❤️

I understanding this difference changed my life👇🏾 5 years ago today, at 27 years old the BBC called me and asked: "Do you want to become a Dragon on Dragon's Den". I was shocked. But I said, Yes. To me it’s not just an iconic show, it’s a culturally, economically and entrepreneurially important one. I was 28 when I entered the Den. About to sit in a chair I'd role-played myself in since I was 12. To my left: Peter Jones. There since episode one, 2005. To my right: Deborah Meaden. 19 years in that seat. Producer counts down: "30 seconds until the first entrepreneur." My hands are sweating?! Heart thumping in my ears! Not because I couldn't evaluate businesses. I'd built and sold companies and made investments - in fact my first ever investment was into a young Hyrum Cook for an idea he pitched me pre-launch called Adanola. But I'd never done it with cameras rolling and millions watching. For 15 years, I'd watched from my parents' sofa. Paused the TV as a child to give my verdict before the Dragons. Played businessman in my living room. Now I was.... inside the TV. In the actual Den. The lights really hot. The chair stiffer than expected and the silence before that lift opens, deafening. Here's what I learnt: Imposter syndrome isn't about incapability. It's about inexperience. Your brain literally can't tell the difference between: "I've never done this" and "I can't do this" Same signal. Same fear. Completely different realities. First entrepreneur walks in. Pitches. The Dragons turn to me. My mind goes blank for exactly one second. Then muscle memory kicks in. "Your customer acquisition costs across social media is 3x your lifetime value," I hear myself saying. "How do you fix that?" Peter nods. Deborah builds on my point. I belonged there. I just hadn't belonged there before. One pitch in, the nerves are gone. 10 pitches in and I forgot the cameras, 50 pitches in and that chair felt comfortable, 500 pitches later - I'm having fun, experimenting, pushing boundaries a little.

Just worked through the Imposter Syndrome training inside the Level 2 Gift?
