Why Mindset Matters More Than Anything
Valerie shares that despite working with million-dollar business owners, the biggest hurdle she sees is belief in themselves.
Many women think they need:
Another degree
Another certification
Another training
…before they’re “ready.” The truth? You’re already equipped. Your thoughts are what’s keeping you from taking confident, bold action.
Top Limiting Beliefs Keeping Women Stuck
“I need more before I can do more.”
Your success isn’t built by adding letters behind your name. It’s built by aligning your mindset with your goals and taking consistent action.
“I should be able to do it all.”
High-achieving women often wear overwhelm like a badge of honor. Valerie reminds us: Be kind to yourself. You’re not failing if you need help.
“I don’t have enough time.”
You do have time – but it requires strategic focus. Ask yourself: What’s most important right now? and let the rest go.
The Power of Investing in Yourself
Valerie challenges women to prioritize self-investment:
💡 Self-care isn’t selfish.
💡 Mindset work is foundational.
💡 Strategic support accelerates your growth.
You deserve to invest in your dreams as much as you invest in your family.
Practical Action Step
Today, ask yourself:
✅ What have I already accomplished that I haven’t celebrated?
✅ What is one thing I am committed to making happen for ME this week?
Write it down. Declare it. And take one tiny action towards it today.
Final Thoughts
Your language creates your reality.
“If we don’t speak power over ourselves, we invite limiting beliefs to keep us stuck.” - Valerie Priester
Imagine your life six months from now if you chose to believe you are already enough.
