We all have barriers that can be blocking us from moving forward. This week on HerCsuite™ Radio, host Natalie Benamou shares her personal experiences both with members of HerCsuite™ Accelerate Mastermind and some life lessons along the way.Last week, an Accelerate Mastermind member, gave a quote that I have been obsessing about. It is a profound idea, about removing the barrier that is in our way.“Keep knocking on the front door. If there is a bodyguard, go to the back door and get around the bouncer.”- Madeline Onumbu, Member HerCsuite™ AccelerateAssess Your BarriersWhat door have you been knocking on and feel like there is no way through?  If there is one thing I hope you remember from this podcast it is there is always a way. Doors close, situations seem impossible. There is always a way to YES.  Here are some of the most common barriers that stop us:  time, effort, fatigue, fear of failure, actual failed attempts…you fill in the blanks.Getting Stopped in Our TracksThis can happen to anyone.. Even if we prepare. We are ready to move ahead. We still will get thrown off our game.  I am sure a situation is coming to you right now of having an unexpected surprise happen to you.Stage DoorNatalie shares a personal story of what happened at the stage door and how she was determined not to let it stop you.3 Ways to Remove Barriers:Remove negative self-beliefs. Ask yourself what ideas about yourself are you holding to be true that are in your way? Push back on any misconceptions you have in your brain. They don’t matter. What does matter is believing anything is possible. Because it really is.Assess all the options and be ready to move forward. Ask questions, be curious. Find someone who has walked through the door before you. What did they do? Was it timing, connections, or ability? Look for the secret way in.Strategically form alliances. In business, this could be an executive sponsor who will advocate for you. Before presenting to the board, or senior leaders, make sure you are on the agenda and socialize your information before the meeting. In your personal life, surround yourself with people who will shout your name in a room of opportunities “You deserve a VIP pass through the front door. I believe all women should have that red carpet runway to their future. You have exactly what you need to move past the bodyguard and go through whatever door is open to you. I believe in you. You Got This!”- Natalie BenamouThank you for spending your time with me today. This program is sponsored by HerCsuite™ Accelerate Program.
