Your Inner Critic Has Been Lying to You (Again)

Your Inner Critic Has Been Lying to You (Again)
And You’ve Been Believing It, Haven’t You?

Let’s get straight to it:
That voice in your head — the one that says “You’re not ready”, “You’re not good enough”, “You’ll mess it up” is talking rubbish.

It dresses itself up as caution. As reason. As being realistic.
But really? It’s your inner critic — and it’s got a lot to say when you’re about to do something brilliant.

The Voice That Shows Up Just Before Progress

You’ve probably heard it at the worst possible times:

• Just before you hit “post” on your offer

• Right after someone asks your prices

• When a new opportunity lands in your inbox

• Or even when you’ve had a quiet week and start wondering if this whole business thing was a mistake

It whispers things like:

“People will laugh at you.”
“You’ve left it too late.”
“Other people are better than you.”
“You need to get everything perfect before you start.”

It sounds convincing because it uses your voice.
But don’t confuse familiarity with truth.

The Inner Critic's Favourite Lies

Let’s call out a few of the classics:

1. “You’re not qualified enough.”
Truth: You don’t need 10 certificates to be helpful, professional or brilliant at what you do.
You need to care, to deliver, and to show up — consistently.

2. “They’re not going to pay that for you.”
Truth: People pay for value, not your self-doubt. Undercharging doesn’t protect you — it drains you.

3. “It’s all been done before.”
Truth: Yes, it has. But not by you. Not with your voice, your experience, your way of showing up.

4. “Don’t say that. You’ll sound unprofessional.”
Truth: Relatable doesn’t mean unprofessional. Especially when you’re a human running a business for other humans.

5. “You should’ve figured this out by now.”
Truth: You’re learning while doing. That’s called growth. Anyone who makes it look effortless is either lying or has a lot of help.

The Cost of Believing Your Inner Critic

Here’s the problem — the more you listen to that voice, the more it wins.

• You procrastinate (but call it “research”)

• You edit your posts 17 times and still don’t hit publish

• You say yes to clients you don’t want

• You lower your prices to feel “worth it”

• You play small, safe, and quiet… until you’re invisible

And then you wonder why business feels hard.

It’s not because you’re not good enough.

It’s because you’ve been building your business on the foundation of doubt — instead of steady, grounded confidence.

That’s where The Mindset Molecule comes in.
