What’s Stopping You? Identifying the Brakes on Your Success

Mike Campion and Suzanne Bandick dive into the mindset that holds entrepreneurs back in their recent podcast. They explore the critical question, “What thoughts put the brakes on your success?” Many cleaning business owners have all the knowledge they need—thanks to “YouTube University”—but still struggle to implement change. Mike explains that the gap isn’t knowledge but the way we think about our goals and fears. Suzanne offers insight into how these mental blocks stop us before we even start.

The Power of Asking the Right Questions

Mike emphasizes the importance of the questions we ask ourselves. Negative questions like, “Why do I always fail?” lead to negative results. Instead, shift to empowering questions such as, “What needs to happen for me to succeed?” These questions not only reframe your perspective but also guide your actions toward problem-solving rather than self-pity.

Recognize, Write, and Analyze

Suzanne introduces a four-step process for overcoming fears that stall progress.

Recognize Your Fears – Identify what’s holding you back.
Write Them Down – Putting your fears on paper reduces their power.
Analyze Them – Ask yourself, “Is this fear realistic?”
Take Action – Start small, correct course as needed, and build confidence.

Mike likens this process to a rocket launching to the moon—it’s okay to make mistakes as long as you keep course-correcting.

Fear of Raising Prices: A Common Hurdle

One example they discuss is the fear of raising prices—a recurring issue for cleaning business owners. Many fear losing clients or damaging relationships. By following Suzanne’s steps, they can analyze these fears, often realizing they’re exaggerated. With guidance, they can identify ways to make changes while minimizing risk.

Keep Moving Forward

The duo encourages listeners to act, even if it feels scary. Mike’s advice? Stop overthinking and just take a step. You can’t steer a parked car, and progress only happens when you start moving. Remember, the most successful leaders ask smart questions, seek help when needed, and remain open to adjusting their strategies.

Mike and Suzanne’s practical wisdom reminds us that success is more about mindset and less about magic. With these steps, you can tackle your fears, shift your mindset, and start building the business you’ve always dreamed of.
