358: The Mindset Shift To Overcome Any Challenge Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Accountant, Bookkeeper, Virtual Assistant, Business Owner, Or Self-Employed
Have you ever woken up, looked at your calendar, and felt that familiar heaviness or weight in your chest? The weight of a problem or challenge that you’ve been carrying for weeks, months, or maybe even years? Maybe it’s a client situation that keeps spiraling, a workload issue you swear you’re going to streamline “when things slow down,” or a personal struggle you’ve gotten so used to that it feels like part of your identity. If you’re like most accountants, CPAs, business owners, and high-stress professionals, you’re incredible at solving other people’s problems, but when it comes to your own, something strange happens. You start to think things like, “It’s too hard.” “It’s not worth the effort.” Or, “This is just how things are for me.” And so you keep living with a problem you could absolutely solve. What I want to offer you today is something that has changed not only my life but also many of my clients’ lives, and it’s at the heart of The RE*INVENTION™ Process. There is no problem in your life that you cannot solve. Not one. And the moment you begin to believe that, even just a little, your entire life opens up. Today, I’m going to help you see your problems differently. I’m going to help you think the way high-performing, calm, emotionally regulated problem-solvers think. I’m going to show you how problems and challenges in your life can become doorways to opportunity, but only if you’re willing to walk through them. 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.
Have you ever woken up, looked at your calendar, and felt that familiar heaviness or weight in your chest? The weight of a problem or challenge that you’ve been carrying for weeks, months, or maybe even years? Maybe it’s a client situation that keeps spiraling, a workload issue you swear you’re going to streamline “when things slow down,” or a personal struggle you’ve gotten so used to that it feels like part of your identity. If you’re like most accountants, CPAs, business owners, and high-stress professionals, you’re incredible at solving other people’s problems, but when it comes to your own, something strange happens. You start to think things like, “It’s too hard.” “It’s not worth the effort.” Or, “This is just how things are for me.” And so you keep living with a problem you could absolutely solve. What I want to offer you today is something that has changed not only my life but also many of my clients’ lives, and it’s at the heart of The RE*INVENTION™ Process. There is no problem in your life that you cannot solve. Not one. And the moment you begin to believe that, even just a little, your entire life opens up. Today, I’m going to help you see your problems differently. I’m going to help you think the way high-performing, calm, emotionally regulated problem-solvers think. I’m going to show you how problems and challenges in your life can become doorways to opportunity, but only if you’re willing to walk through them. Let’s dive in…
Do you ever wonder why we stay stuck with what we think are unsolvable problems? Let me share a quick story, and you may find it resonates with you. One of my clients told me when we first started working together that she was exhausted, overwhelmed, and convinced she was bad at problem-solving. Her office was always getting documents and information from clients late, and there were workflow issues and unclear expectations with her staff. She had tried fixing things before, but everything felt too big to handle, too messy, or too far gone. She kept telling herself that she shouldn’t have to deal with all of it. This sentence seems innocent, but it’s one of the biggest obstacles to problem-solving. It creates resistance. It shuts down creativity, and it keeps you stuck. When she joined The RE*INVENTION™ Process, I didn’t give her a 52-step solution. I didn’t hand her a checklist. I didn’t give her a script for her staff. We did something much more powerful. We worked on her thoughts. Because when you find yourself thinking something like “This shouldn’t be happening,” your creativity shuts down. But when your thoughts shift to something more like, “I can solve this," then your brain starts engaging, and everything opens up for you. One of the core pillars of The RE*INVENTION™ Process is learning how to show your brain that solutions are always available, even when your default instinct is to panic, buffer, procrastinate, or freeze. By teaching my client this work, she didn’t just solve a workflow issue; she became someone who solves workflow issues. And that identity shift meant everything to her.
