Welcome to The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m Lindsey Wilson, former pro athlete, high-performance mindset coach, and entrepreneur and here we’ll dive into everything mindset. I have lived all these mindset tools- as an athlete, a business owner, a mom, a human. And together, you and I will sit in the student chair and study mindset. We’ll work on our own mindset and even talk about how to build a mindset coaching business if that’s your thing. With experts in the field, athletes, coaches, and other high-performance individuals, we are going to nerd out on the mental side of the game. This podcast is all about being a student of mindset. We believe mindset work isn’t about fixing or changing, it’s becoming more of who you were always meant to be. Here we work on our mindset. The good stuff, the hard stuff, the stuff most people won’t do. We have officially changed our name from The Inner Game to The Mindset Coach Academy podcast because we are specifically looking to grow as coaches and students of mindset. We’ll interview top experts in the field and high-achieving individuals about how mindset has brought them success, as well as dive deep into mindset training. New episodes will drop every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, as well as short 5-minute episodes every Mental Monday. Our first two guests are badass female Olympians successful on the playing field and rocking it off the field as well. We’ll start off with former Olympic Volleyball Player Courtney Thompson.

As an athlete, I knew I wanted to play basketball professionally, and I also knew that in order to play professionally, I’d have to start with making my high school team. Only then could I hope to make play college, then finally professionally.
In sports, the steps are laid out, there’s no rushing them. You do them one step at a time, you don’t expect to skip steps, and you don’t feel impatient about the amount of time it takes to achieve that goal. You understand that it is a process.
So why is it that we expect immediate success in business?
One of the biggest mistakes I see my mindset coaching students make when building their business is going too big, too, fast, and expecting immediate results.
But let me tell you something: Rushing things puts you on a fast track to NOWHERE.
In today’s extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy, I’m coaching you to do the work to reach 100k in your mindset coaching business. I’m sharing the strategy I use with MCA graduates to help you hit that first BIG money milestone in a calm. measured, and focused way. In a way that allows you to make decisions based on growth, not panic.
If your goal is to hit 100k in your business, press play and take notes! THIS is the work.

MINDSET COACHES: Who is your target audience?
If you can’t answer this question plainly, you need to niche down. Because if you’re not speaking to a specific person, you’re most likely getting lost in the noise.
The good news is, you don’t have to do any of this blindly.
Today, Lindsey is teaching how to niche down wisely and strategically. Using what she knows about sales psychology and pulling from her boots-on-the-ground experience, Lindsey asks the hard-hitting questions to help you find your target audience.

On this very special episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I got to sit down with 3 time best selling author, speaker, and Mindset and High-Performance Coach, Byron Morrison.
Just a few months before its much-anticipated release, Byron is promoting his upcoming book, “Maybe You Should Give Up”. This book is a counterintuitive guide that helps readers identify and break through seven mental barriers that are stopping them from living the life they want.
In this interview, Byron takes us through each one of the seven mental barriers. One thing I love about this interview is that Byron takes the time to give so many real-world examples that perfectly illustrate each point and make this interview SO engaging and actionable.
From counteracting worst-case-scenario thoughts, to helping you rise above reactivity, Byron offers cycle-breaking techniques to empower you to get out of your own way.
It’s clear that Byron is a living, breathing example of what he teaches. I can say with certainty that if the book is anything like this interview, it’s a gold mine.
As you listen to today’s episode, I challenge you to consider all seven mental barriers, then start working on the two or three that trigger you the most.
Listen to my episode with Byron Morrison, listen to it again, maybe even three times (it’s that good) and order your advance copy of his book, “Maybe You Should Give Up”, available everywhere on June 27th, 2023!

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[0.:32] Byron introduces himself with a brief overview of his experience and an overview of his latest book, “Maybe You Should Give Up”.
[2:53] Byron explains why living your life in a state of reaction is a damaging habit. He offers a few tips to help you rise above reactivity and tells a personal example involving a noisy group of kids on a train.
[6:52] Every new level of success will require you to overcome mental roadblocks. Lindsey and Byron discuss what happens in your brain when you challenge self-limiting thoughts.
[10:01] Byron teaches an actionable mental exercise when you notice “worst-case-scenario thoughts” and shares a real world example of this coaching in action.
[13:17] It’s uncomfortable to invest in yourself, or train hard, or try hard enough that you could epically fail. Byron explains why he believes your goal has to be bigger than consequence of doing it.
[18:23] Are you worrying too much about problems that haven’t happened yet? Byron’s 4th mental roadblock in his book dives into the importance of bringing your focus into the present moment.
[20:15] Social Media is a highlight reel, it never shows the whole picture. Lindsey and Byron urge you to break the cycle of comparison with a targeted mindset shift.
[25:25] The 6th mental roadblock in Byron’s book relates to self-worth and self-compassion. Speaking directly to high achievers, he explains why the solution isn’t always ‘trying harder’.
[31:55] Are you putting off your happiness? Byron talks about why his 7th mental roadblock is the goal of everything else in his book.
[33:25] “Maybe You Should Give Up” explores 7 ways we self-sabotage and how to get out of our own way. Lindsey gives a quick review of each of the 7 mental roadblocks.
[34:26] Wrapping up the episode, Lindsey asks Byron five rapid fire questions. Byron shares his goal of speaking globally on the heels of his book launch and talks a bit about his family.
