The 6 Lies Veterinary Practice Owners Tell Themselves: What If You Are the Barrier to Your Own Success?

The 6 Lies Veterinary Practice Owners Tell Themselves: What If You Are the Barrier to Your Own Success?

In our previous episode we asked: What do you really want?

Now we ask the tougher question: Why don't you believe that you can have it?

In This Episode:

Sam reveals the six identity-level belief traps that stop vets from thriving in business—no matter how skilled or hardworking they are:

  • Fear of rejection: “What will people think if I fail?”
  • Scarcity mindset: “There’s never enough time, money, or help.”
  • Low self-worth: “Success is for other people, not me.”
  • Sacrifice story: “For me to succeed, something else will have to suffer.”
  • Skills doubt: “I’m just not a business-minded person.”
  • Wrong vehicle myth: “Maybe I just chose the wrong path.”

But here’s the shift:

Sam doesn’t just name the beliefs—he shows you how to dismantle and rewire them, one at a time.

 You’ll Learn:

  • Why identity is more powerful than strategy
  • How cultural conditioning silently shapes our business beliefs
  • The simple reframes that can unlock momentum and peace
  • When to go beyond coaching and seek deeper therapeutic tools


This isn’t about hustle. It’s about healing the mindset that drives the hustle.

Whether you're burned out, stuck at a plateau, or just quietly wondering if you’re “made for this”—this conversation might just be the permission slip you’ve been waiting for.
