342: Stop Caring About What Other People Think Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Bookkeeper, Virtual Assistant, Business Owner, Or Self-Employed
How much time do you spend thinking about what other people are thinking, specifically, what you think they’re thinking about you? I want you to be honest. How many times have you changed your behavior, dressed a certain way, bought something, or taken (or not taken) an opportunity because of what you imagined someone else might think? Your parents. Your boss. Your kids. Your partner. A neighbor. That colleague at the office. Even strangers. If you’re like most of the accountants and professionals I coach, the answer is: a lot. And it’s exhausting. Today, I want to show you why this happens, why it never actually works the way you think it will, and how to free yourself from it using the exact tools inside The RE*INVENTION™ Process. Let’s dive in…

Hey there, I’m Chris Panek, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Coach, and the host of the Mastering Your Small Business Finances Podcast, and I want to welcome you to this new series I’m doing on this podcast. My intention is to drop one of these additional episodes every Monday while I continue to provide you with the regular Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast episodes, which will continue to help you take control of and understand your business finances with topics that ultimately impact your bottom line. I have many business owners, accountants, and other high-stress professionals who listen to this podcast, and I want to get more help out there for individuals like you when it comes to mastering your mindset. I’ll be taking a few moments each week to touch on topics that many high-stress professionals are dealing with and provide solutions to help you increase your overall well-being. Because I know your time is valuable, just like the Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast, my goal is to keep these episodes short and straight to the point but full of useful information to help you succeed in not only your professional life but your personal life as well.
How much time do you spend thinking about what other people are thinking, specifically, what you think they’re thinking about you? I want you to be honest. How many times have you changed your behavior, dressed a certain way, bought something, or taken (or not taken) an opportunity because of what you imagined someone else might think? Your parents. Your boss. Your kids. Your partner. A neighbor. That colleague at the office. Even strangers. If you’re like most of the accountants and professionals I coach, the answer is: a lot. And it’s exhausting. Today, I want to show you why this happens, why it never actually works the way you think it will, and how to free yourself from it using the exact tools inside The RE*INVENTION™ Process. Let’s dive in…
One of the most common traps I see in my clients is this: They believe that if they just say the right thing, do the right thing, perform the right way, then the other person will like them, respect them, or think of them positively. Maybe you’ve done this too: You put in late nights at the office just to prove your worth. You volunteer for the project you don’t have capacity for because you don’t want to be seen as “not a team player.” You downplay your exhaustion because you want your partner to think you’re holding it all together. And what actually happens is that you’ll never be able to control someone else’s opinion of you. You can’t control other people’s thoughts about you. If you acted the same way with every single person in your life, would they all think the same thing about you? Of course not. One client might see you as brilliant and dependable. Another might see you as uptight. Same person. Same actions. Different opinions. That proves my point that people’s opinions are not facts. They’re just their thoughts. And those thoughts come from their experiences, their insecurities, and their perspective, not from you.
If this topic resonates with you, don’t wait; the rest of this episode is waiting for you inside my free private podcast, Mastering Your Mindset Moments.
