Overcoming Execution Blocks & Self-Sabotage: Rewiring Your Brain for Business Growth with Jennie Hays

Have you ever bought all the courses and hired all the coaches, yet still find yourself completely stuck when it comes time to execute? Do you freeze up, procrastinate, or hesitate when it's time to state your price or ask for the sale in your business? What if your inability to move forward isn't a lack of discipline, but your brain trying to protect you from an old story?

In this episode, host Dr. Leslie sits down with Execution Block Specialist Jennie Hays to break down the neuroscience behind why entrepreneurs self-sabotage and procrastinate. Jennie shares how "brain landmines" formed from past experiences trigger subconscious survival instincts, leading to analysis paralysis, imposter syndrome, and sales anxiety. Learn how Brainspotting and subconscious rewiring can dissolve these blocks, allowing you to take effortless action and finally grow your business.

Key Takeaways

• Your Brain vs. Your Success: Your brain’s primary job is keeping you safe, not rich. It views visibility, rejection, and sales calls as survival threats and triggers self-sabotage to "protect" you.
• Productive vs. Non-Productive Procrastination: Discover why neurodivergent minds need time for ideas to ferment (productive procrastination) versus when a subconscious block is actively holding you back.
• The Dopamine Trap: Why giving in to distraction or putting off a launch task releases an instant dopamine hit—and how that fuels a cycle of relief followed by guilt.
• What Brainspotting Is: How your eye position correlates with stored physical and emotional memories, and how targeted resets can clear execution blocks in just 1 to 3 sessions.
• Shift Your Sales Mindset: Why charging for your services isn't a reflection of your personal self-worth, but an exchange for the value and transformation you provide your clients.
