Value Creation Starts With You – Shawn French

In this episode, I sat down with Shawn French, author of “Unstoppable: The High-Performance Mindset” and host of “The Determined Society” podcast. Shawn shares his journey from battling limiting beliefs and negative self-talk to becoming a successful sales professional and coach. We delve into the power of mindset, the importance of taking action, and the value of authenticity in both personal and professional life.

What We Talk About:

1. Accomplishing Goals Shatters Limiting Beliefs: Shawn discusses how taking action, rather than just accomplishing goals, is what really shatters limiting beliefs. By focusing on the micro actions that lead to macro results, you can overcome self-doubt, achieve your goal, and be a value-creating machine!
2. The Role of Early Influences: Shawn shares his struggles with negative self-talk his whole life. He reflects on how these experiences shaped his mindset and how he eventually learned to protect his energy and choose what beliefs to subscribe to. It’s why I’m so devoted to helping kids have great role models in life. These early influences shape our destiny.
3. Mindset and High-Performance Habits: We talk about the importance of developing high-performance habits and maintaining an unstoppable mindset. When combined, you truly become a value to all those around you.

Quotes by Shawn French:

1. “Taking action is what shatters limiting beliefs because when you’re in motion, you don’t think—you’re focused on completion, not judgment.”
2. “The gift is in the present; that’s why it’s called the present. Embrace the journey, even when it’s tough because that’s where true growth happens.”
3. “Mental toughness doesn’t mean you don’t feel; it means you recognize whether those feelings serve you and take a deep breath to refocus on your goals.”

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Focus on Micro Actions: Break down your goals into small, actionable steps. Celebrate these micro achievements as they build up to significant results.
2. Develop High-Performance Habits: Identify and consistently practice habits that support your personal and professional growth. Discipline in daily routines leads to long-term success.
3. Be Authentic: Stay true to yourself in all interactions. Authenticity fosters trust and deeper connections, whether in sales, coaching, or personal relationships.
