The Career Refresh with Jill Griffin
Is Your Mindset Holding You Back? What to Do When You Have a Case of the But..Firsts
Show Notes

I recently did an episode on the fixed mindset phenomenon of the …yeah, buts (Check out Episode 88).

It’s rationalized fear. This week I am talking about the other BUTs in your life. The But Firsts Mindset. 

The But Firsts Mindset shows up in ways that look rational. They look responsible, and they resemble preparedness. 

Maybe. Are you But Firsts stopping you? 

In this episode, I discuss

  • How your But Firsts may be masking hesitancy and uncertainty
  • How fear, decision fatigue, and imposter syndrome play a part in mindset
  • How to questioning your thinking around your But Firsts will propel you into action
