Ben's business was getting people amazing results, but it wasn't serving him and his family.

There was this fear in the background that was causing him to work ridiculously long hours on small things instead of doing the uncomfortable things that would make all the difference...

He knew he was focusing on small things, and despite reading all the books, listening to the podcasts and even trying out therapy he wasn't able to take action on the things that would make all the difference. 

"In reality I had imposter syndrome... 

I didn't believe I had the skills, abilities or the experience to actually help people despite plenty of evidence to the contrary these days... I didn't realize who I actually was and boy did it suck."

Logically, Ben shouldn't have been going through this. 

But imposter syndrome isn't logical. It's usually an emotional block that has nothing to do with business or someone's skill set.

I knew this was Ben's situation because he's a sharp and honest guy who has a great reputation in business circles. 

It clearly wasn't a skillset issue. It was a mindset issue around his confidence and self worth.

So we got to work.

Not in his business, but on the false self image he was holding onto. One that was causing him to waste time and effort on the small things that didn't make an impact, but were comfortable and "felt safe" for the person he thought he was.

"I realized that the idea I had about myself inside was wrong and being called out in a really supportive way on what's actually true, but very uncomfortable was really helpful.

One of the things this program encourages is making the hard choices. 

Instead of trying band-aids or some alternate courses, we fixed the root thing. And all those issues that I had in my head don't stop me anymore.

And seeing the other guys in the program who had similar kinds of problems made me realize that it wasn't anything special about me. This is something that other people have in common. Therefore there's a solution to it."

Why did Ben finally overcome his imposter syndrome and start doing the challenging and impactful work?

Because he decided. 

With a new baby and a growing household he decided that it was time to get out of his own way. 

In just 6 weeks he uncovered and resolved beliefs and views that were blocking his success and completely shattered what he thought the glass ceiling was for him and his family.

His transformation left me in awe:

"Short-term results, during the six weeks, wow we're talking $70,000 easy.

With the momentum I've got, $20,000 months are my new minimum quiet month numbers, where it used to be $5,000. The long-term effect just this year, is a couple of $100,000 at least.

Without that massive weight on my back, I'm being picky and only take on clients big enough to afford my fees.

I get to spend more time with my family rather than working. That's really amazing.."

Ben's an amazing example of just how fast the floodgates can open once someone upgrades their mindset to match their skillset. 

It's amazing seeing Ben make all this money and move his family to his dream beach house.

But you know what really lights me up? 

Seeing how happy and confident he is these days. How he's able to enjoy his life because he's confident in his success.

It's been nothing but an honor to be in his corner and push him to realize and act on how great he can be.

What You Can Do To Take Action Now

If Ben's situations feels uncomfortably familiar, you're struggling with confidence or imposter syndrome take the following steps:

1. Ask what possible beliefs or fears are getting in my way and causing me to play small.
2. Assess if those beliefs are actually true or something false that's holding you back (a great way to do this is by asking "If this was someone else telling me this about himself, what would I think?").
3. Decide when you'll say it's time to step up and do the hard thing. To stop skirting around the issue and address what's actually holding you back.. So that you can start to fly.

And if you want help with that, please reach out. It's my biggest passion.

P.S. When I asked Ben who he thinks The Arena program and coaching with me would help he had this to say:

"You keep getting in your own way or you get overwhelmed or you get exhausted. 

You know, there are some things that you should be doing and they're hard, but you know that if you could do them you'd get amazing success... But for some reason you're just not doing them. 

You should go work with Itamar.
