Success In Mind; Motivation, and Inspiration for Entrepreneurs

Ep. 396: In the first episode of 2026, host Teri Holland explains why willpower is unreliable and how to partner with your unconscious mind to achieve your goals. Instead of setting "wishes," learn how to define real changes through identity-level shifts and nervous system safety. Key Takeaways: Identity Over Outcomes: You cannot outperform your self-image. Learn how to level up who you are to match what you want to achieve. Safety First: If a goal triggers a threat response (procrastination), it’s too big. Teri shares how to scale down until your body feels grounded and clear. Build Structure, Not Pressure: Motivation is fleeting; routines are mechanical. Discover "habit anchoring" to make your new behaviors automatic. The Smallest Action: Use the "minimum viable action" strategy to keep promises to yourself even when resistance shows up. Reflection Questions from the Show: Which resolution have you been setting on repeat? What identity is this goal asking you to step into? What is one action you can take today that feels doable and not dramatic? Connect with Teri: Website: www.teriholland.ca Ready for deeper work?

Ep. 395: Why don’t friends and family take you seriously while strangers support your business and personal growth? In this episode of Success in Mind, we break down the psychology behind why the people closest to you don’t support you — and why this is completely normal for entrepreneurs and high performers. If you’re an entrepreneur, coach, creator, or business owner, this episode explains the psychology behind why the people closest to you don’t take you seriously — and why this dynamic is far more common than anyone talks about. In this episode of Success in Mind, we break down: Why strangers are often more supportive than friends and family The psychology of Prophet in Your Own Land Syndrome How familiarity kills perceived authority Why your growth threatens people in your inner circle (even if they love you) Why online validation feels stronger than real-life support Why friends don’t support your business — and what to do instead How to stop seeking validation from the wrong people The mindset shift every high performer needs to keep moving forward This episode is especially relevant if you’ve ever thought: “Why don’t my friends support my business?” “Why does my family not take me seriously?” “Why do strangers believe in me more than people I know?” “Why does my success feel uncomfortable around people close to me?” You’re not imagining it — and you’re not doing anything wrong. This episode will help you detach from misplaced expectations, understand the psychology behind being undervalued by your inner circle, and refocus your energy on the people who are actually ready to see you. 🎧 Listen now if you’re building something bigger than your past — and learning to trust your future.

Ever hit a goal you worked hard for… and instead of feeling proud, you felt anxious, numb, or disappointed?

You’ll learn: Why success triggers anxiety or emptiness How the nervous system misinterprets growth as danger The identity gap that causes self-sabotage How to stabilize and integrate success One micro-action that keeps momentum alive If you’re tired of crashing after every win, this episode is a game-changer.

Ep. 392: In this episode of Success in Mind, Teri Holland discusses the transformative power of shifting from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. She emphasizes that true success is not about doing more but about embodying the energy of 'enough.' Teri shares her personal journey of overcoming the hustle mentality and highlights the importance of regulating one's nervous system, anchoring into identity, and acting from a place of sufficiency. The conversation provides actionable steps for listeners to attract opportunities and success by changing their internal beliefs and energy. Takeaways Real power comes from energy, not effort. You get what you believe you deserve. Living in the frequency of not enough creates scarcity. Regulating your nervous system is essential for manifestation. Your unconscious mind filters reality through identity beliefs.
