EP 121: Hidden Secrets To Success – Part 1: The difference between focusing on the external vs. internal and which one actually leads to results

Mar 06, 2025

During this 3-part mini-series of the podcast, we are unveiling the hidden secrets to success that most people never discuss— the exact reasons that keep them stuck.

In the first episode of this series, I reveal a game-changing mindset shift that successful small business owners understand: the crucial difference between what you can control vs. what you can’t in your business. Learn why focusing on the internal, rather than the external, leads to real results.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

  • The key distinction between what you CAN and CANNOT control in business – and why it’s essential to understand this distinction so that you don’t end up focusing on the wrong aspects of your business, which only lead to feeling demotivated, discouraged, and ready to give up.
  • How to release what you cannot control and let go of force… and what to focus on when you show up each day instead.
  • Understanding the societal conditioning that keeps us stuck due to programming around how money, sales, and results are what leads to worthiness, success, accomplishment, and love… which is the furthest thing from the truth… and discovering where worthiness, success, accomplishment, and love truly originate.
  • Transforming your measure of success and the one question you can ask yourself daily that will positively impact how you show up, who you impact, and ultimately your results.

This episode is inspired by a recent PBA Mastermind group coaching call, where we dove deep into understanding what it really means to achieve success, sales, and self-worth. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by slow growth or inconsistent results, this episode is exactly for you!

Clear & effective communication!

Great podcast from Monica Little! She talks about the power of integrity, changing your mind-set to get stuff done and being accountable (both personally & professionally). The podcast is geared towards small business owners, but really so much of what Monica explains can be applied to various parts of anyone's life. She articulates so accurately many of the thoughts I have about the challenges of being a small business owner. It's reassuring & comforting to hear Monica break it all down in a comprehensive way in order to overcome the struggles. My favorite take-aways were how she explained that believing in yourself = FREEDOM and "how you do one thing is how you do everything".

I’m Learning So Much!

I love listening to Monica’s podcast as a handmade small business owner! She offers so many tangible tips within her episodes that have helped me to believe in and grow my small business. Episode 2 was very helpful as she discusses the power of integrity and using a habit tracker. I loved this concept and will begin to use one. I can relate to so many of the stories she tells about running her own handmade business. Thank you Monica for all of these episodes! I cannot wait to listen to more.
