Description

S6:E51 What if the biggest limitation in your business isn't your circumstances? What if it's the story you've accepted about what is possible? In this episode of Small Business Stories, Dr. LL sits down with Patrick Engasser, who is blind.

If people don't remember you, they won't refer you. If people misunderstand your capabilities, they may never fully see your value. Patrick shares how being born blind shaped his perspective, how coaching transformed his sales career, and why confidence is built through action rather than waiting until you feel ready. 👤 Guest Patrick Engasser Speaker, Author & Coach His book is called, "If I Can Do It, YOU Can Do It!" ⚠️ Core Problems Fear-driven procrastination Lack of confidence Entrepreneurial isolation Resistance to uncomfortable growth 🥡 Practical Takeaways Action creates confidence Coaching accelerates growth Mindset often determines outcomes more than strategy Difficult experiences can become assets ⏱️ Timestamps 00:01 Patrick's story and perspective 07:30 Coaching and business transformation 10:00 The role of mindset in success 11:00 Entrepreneurship and adversity 15:00 Building confidence through action 🔖 Who This Episode Is For Entrepreneurs, professionals in transition, leaders, and anyone trying to achieve something difficult.
