Mindset Shift for Personal Growth | Stop Holding Yourself Back

I want to share something personal I’ve been sitting with lately.

It’s this complicated relationship we all seem to have with our past.

Sometimes we look back at the “good old days” and wonder why life doesn’t feel that way anymore. Other times, we carry quiet regret, missed chances, mistakes, or versions of ourselves we wish we could rewrite.

And whether it’s nostalgia or guilt… both can quietly hold us back from stepping into who we’re becoming.

I didn’t fully see this until I moved into a completely new environment.

Because when you’re somewhere new, something strange happens:

No one knows who you used to be.
No one remembers your mistakes.
No one compares you to your past.

And it forces a really uncomfortable question:

If my past doesn’t matter to anyone else… why does it still control me so much?

For a long time, I tried telling myself:
“Thank the old me, and let it go.”

But that never fully worked.

Because the truth is, you can’t just throw your past away. It’s part of you.

So recently, I’ve been shifting toward something different:

Gratitude.

Gratitude for the wins.
Gratitude for the painful lessons.
Gratitude even for the mistakes.

Because every single one of those moments shaped who I am today.

And here’s what I’ve realized:

Who you are right now is exactly who you need to be for this moment.

Not perfect as in finished.
Perfect as in prepared.

When we stop judging who we’ve been and start appreciating it, something powerful happens:

We stop holding ourselves back.
We break the self-sabotage cycles.
We finally give ourselves permission to move forward.

🤔 I’m genuinely curious:

Do you ever feel like your past, good or bad, is quietly holding you back today?

Just hit reply and tell me. I read every response, and I’d truly love to hear your perspective.

The AiM Rounds 👩‍⚕️

More and more doctors are joining our AiM (AI & Marketing) Rounds—doctors who want smarter systems that don’t rely entirely on them.

Think of it like after-hours rounds for your business: asynchronous, practical, and focused on leverage.

Here’s how it works:

1. Join a doctors-only WhatsApp group

2. Ask real questions about AI, marketing, automation, or growth

3. Get actionable answers (voice notes or text)

4. The best questions get deep breakdowns and spotlights

Good questions to ask:

• “I’m already using automated emails, where would AI actually improve results?”

• “How can I delegate this process while still hitting results?”

You get:

• Direct answers to real AI & marketing questions

• Daily micro-insights and prompts

• Weekly AI updates and tool spotlights

• Guidance without needing a call

How to Join:

👉 To be part of this exclusive doctors-only WhatsApp community, simply reply to this email and type:

“JOIN AiM”

That’s it. 😊 I’ll reply with the link for you to join the group.

A FREE Webclass for Doctors 🩺

Doctors are already using AI differently, and many are being left behind.

Right now, most practices still depend entirely on the doctor:

You diagnose.
You decide.
You approve.
You fix.
You step in whenever things stall.

That isn’t leadership.
That’s survival mode.

Most doctors try to solve this with AI tools but end up with:
• more systems to manage
• more decisions to make
• more mental load

Because the real shift isn’t using AI tools.

It’s designing an AI Employee.

In this free webclass, you’ll learn how doctors are using AI as:
•A structured assistant with clear responsibilities
• A defined role inside the practice
• A dependable support system that actually removes work

You’ll also get:
✔ AI Employee Prompt Blueprint ($297 value)
✔ Step-by-Step AI Build Process ($497 value)
