Trigger Warning: In this episode of the SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, host Nicole George welcomes back Chris Melville, SOVEREIGN Magazine®’s Mindset and Leadership Business Mentor, to explore the September Full Moon theme of Solving Problems and Chris’s article, “Stop Solving, Start Looking.”
Chris explains that many daily business “problems” are surface-level symptoms, while real progress comes from identifying deeper root causes. Often mindset issues or lack of clarity in what you are selling, illustrated by a client mislabeling confusion about her offer as “imposter syndrome.”
Nicole and Chris also discuss fear in personal life and how nervous energy can be harnessed as excitement. Chris shares three questions to uncover root causes, plus tools like the “why” method, stream-of-consciousness journaling, and seeking support through coaches, mentors, or community.
