SBA™ MINIMIND COACHING CALL REPLAY | 24.04.25

Leadership Activation Prompts

Use these as weekly journal or Slack thread reflections:

1. If you stopped doing things the comfortable way… what fear is underneath? → Fear of being wrong? Incompetent? Exposed? Still invisible?

2. What discomfort are you avoiding by staying productive or perfect? → What story are you telling yourself about what “productive” means?

3. If change means letting go of control… what part of your worth is tied to being the one who knows, leads, or delivers everything? → What identity have you unconsciously attached to that control?

💬 Top Conversations & Leadership Patterns Observed

1. Productivity as a Proxy for Worth

Many founders equate constant activity with value. It’s time to redefine productivity:

• 💡 Productivity = Doing what moves the needle. Nothing more. Nothing less.

• 🔁 Create sprints that define exact outputs per 90 min – nothing added.

Reframe: You don’t have to earn your success through exhaustion.

2. Avoiding Growth Due to Fear of Losing Control

“What if it works, and I don’t like what it changes?” “What if I grow and I’m not good enough to hold it?”

This fear is tied to identity: feeling worthy only if you stay in control, do it all, or maintain the current version of success.

Shift Needed: You can scale your business without scaling your stress. That requires releasing control, hiring help, and unhooking your worth from being the executor.

✅ You can always pivot back. ✅ You can test, change, explore, undo. ✅ You don’t have to love the new way forever.

But you do have to try.

3. Fear of Rejection, Especially Publicly

Rejection dysphoria—especially for ADHD founders—is real.

• Fear of looking like a fraud

• Fear of not being liked or chosen

• Fear of being judged for the back-end chaos

✨ “Their perception of you is not your story. Their doubt does not define your deliverables.”

Solutions:

• Reframe rejection as redirection

• Remember: You don’t need to be liked by everyone—just trusted by the right people

🧠 Strategic Threads to Action

Sacia

• Hit first $10K+ cash month since August — 100% referral based

• Problem: Trust gap still showing up. IG not converting leads directly

Action Items:

• Create visibility trust content (i.e., brand legacy walkthroughs, designer-client before/afters)

• Use Instagram to speak to consumers — not just designers

• Develop referral system with proof-point content bank

Chelsea

• Currently manually sending all proposals, avoiding Dubsado due to Zapier-confusion

• Over-designed, off-brand proposals slowing down close rate

Action Items:

• Remove proposal from < $2500 offers — use contract + email only

• Send Loom of current proposal flow → Lacey to audit and streamline

• Standardize Dubsado: 1 form, 1 booking flow, no Zapier

Liza

• Signed 2 paid partnerships — experiencing fear of follow-through

• Still avoiding launching events despite prep being mostly done

Action Items:

• Lacey to send event planning flow (high-level phases + checklist)

• Block time for execution (2 hr sprint on venue sourcing)

• Focus this week: Send 20 brand outreach emails for Hamptons project

✨ Summary: The Leadership Edge

This week was a reminder that:

• You don’t need to do more to be more.

• Control ≠ competence.

• Productivity ≠ value.

• Worth isn’t earned through burnout.

Every founder here is being asked to scale not just operations—but identity, trust, and nervous system capacity.

Let this be the week you make decisions your future self already made.

You are not here to prove. You are here to build.
