Giving Yourself Permission to Succeed

Giving Yourself Permission to Succeed

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, or feeling: “That kind of success just isn’t for someone like me”?

Some practice owners seem to have more freedom, more money, and more time than you could ever image. But maybe that’s for the lucky ones… the confident ones… the ones with the “right” background. But not you.

Sound familiar?

Then this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

For our first full episode, we’re going straight to the root: mindset . Because here’s the truth— the biggest barrier to building the practice and the life you want is believing you don’t deserve it .

Sam unpacks why so many veterinary professionals unconsciously block their own success, and how to break that cycle. This isn’t just theory—it’s the start of a shift in identity, the rewiring of the stories you tell yourself.

Together, we dive into a richer definition of success—one that goes far beyond financials.

  • Health
  • Relationships
  • Finances
  • Fulfilment
  • Time

Success doesn’t begin when you have it all figured out. It begins when you say, “I’m allowed to want more.”

In This Episode:

  • Why mindset—not money—is the foundation of real success

  • The 5 types of wealth (and how they shape your future)

  • Why you don’t need to know “how” before you start

  • How your internal stories are shaping your external results

  • A simple identity shift: “I am…” vs. “I wish I was…”

  • The role of self-awareness in rewriting your narrative

  • The truth about money—it’s not the goal, it’s a tool

This is the groundwork.

This is where change begins.

Let’s go.
