You Can’t Build a Business with the Same Mindset That Kept You Stuck

#LeadandLift | Episode 134 | Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

What if your biggest breakthrough in business has nothing to do with your marketing, pricing, or social media strategy… and everything to do with a decision you’ve been avoiding?

If you’re feeling stuck—overwhelmed by options, plagued with doubt, or simply exhausted from trying to do it all—it might not be because you’re underprepared.

It might be because you’re thinking like the person who used to be stuck, not the leader you’re becoming.

You see, most high-achieving women aren’t held back by a lack of skills.
They’re held back by a mindset that was never designed to support their next level.

Let’s change that.

You’re Not “Too Busy”—You’re Just Delaying the Leap

You’ve spent years being the dependable one. The achiever. The go-to woman everyone can rely on. But building your own business? That requires a different mindset—a B.O.L.D. one.

That’s why I teach the B.O.L.D. Leadership Framework™, a simple but powerful mindset tool to help women stop waiting, start leading, and grow with clarity—even when fear tries to slow them down.

Let’s walk through the four mindset shifts that define bold, aligned leadership.

1. Burn the Delay

Think of your business like a plane on the runway. Engine on. Doors closed. You’re ready for takeoff.

But instead of flying, you're sitting… waiting for the perfect time, the perfect weather, the perfect level of confidence. Meanwhile, you burn fuel. You burn opportunity.

Indecision costs more than action ever will.

💡 Ask yourself: “What is staying stuck costing me today?”

Stop circling the runway. The fear won’t disappear, but movement will give you momentum. Start messy. Start scared. Just start.

2. Own the Commitment

You don’t lift weights because you feel strong—you lift weights to become strong.

Leadership works the same way. Confidence isn’t a prerequisite. It’s a result of consistent action.

Waiting to feel ready? That’s the trap. Leaders don’t wait for clarity to show up—they create it through movement.

💡 Ask yourself: “Where am I still asking for permission instead of committing fully?”

Your next level doesn’t require more perfection. It requires your presence. When you go all in, your confidence rises to meet you.

3. Lead Through Action

True leaders don’t talk about what they’re going to do—they show it.

Think of a lighthouse. It doesn’t chase ships around the sea trying to convince them where to go. It stands tall. It shines. It leads by being seen.

That’s what it looks like to lead in your business.

You don’t need 10K followers or a perfect product. You need to show up—especially when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when no one’s clapping yet.

💡 Ask yourself: “Where am I hesitating when I could be moving?”

Action builds trust. With others, yes—but especially with yourself.

4. Decide, Don’t Drift

Here’s the mindset shift that separates dreamers from doers:

Decide. Don’t drift.

Drifting feels safe. It sounds like:
“I need to think on it…”
“I’m just waiting for confirmation…”
“I want to be sure it’s the right time…”

But the truth is, when you delay a decision, you delay your future.

💡 Ask yourself: “Where in my business am I drifting—when I should be deciding?”

It’s time to grab the oars, set the direction, and lead—choppy water or not.
Because drifting is the slowest way to sink.

This Is Your B.O.L.D. Invitation

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need to wait until you’re fearless.
You don’t need anyone’s permission.

You need a mindset that matches the mission you’re called to lead.

So today, I’m inviting you to become the bold leader your business needs—starting with a shift in how you think, act, and choose.

Here’s a quick recap of the B.O.L.D. Leadership Framework™:

• B – Burn the Delay

• O – Own the Commitment

• L – Lead Through Action

• D – Decide, Don’t Drift
