Scale with Psychology
This is the Scale with Psychology podcast, where you’re going to optimize your psychology to exponentially scale your business and become the ultimate version of yourself, so you can effortlessly create extraordinary business success and personal wellbeing.
Entrepreneurship is a mental game, and the main constraint in any business is not the strategies and tactics but the psychology of the founder - because every next level of your business requires the next level of you, and stepping into the version of you that can build and run the next level of your business is one of the hardest things entrepreneurs have to do - because the psychology that got you this far, is now the very thing holding you back.
Not only do you need to up level your thinking, belief systems, character traits, leadership ability and skills at each stage of your business, but you have to let go of your current identity, patterns, habits that just aren’t compatible with the next level of your business.
I’m your host, Ani Manian, widely known as ‘The Mind Whisperer,’ and trusted advisor to the world's top entrepreneurs, and leaders and with each episode I’m going to help you take your life and business to levels you never thought possible.
If you’re ready to play the game of life and business on god mode, then this is the podcast for you.

Why you’re hard on yourself
Why do successful entrepreneurs continue to be hard on themselves despite achieving significant success?

The ultimate goal is a state of flow and abundance, achieved by minimizing self-focus and maximizing engagement with passions and contribution to the world. The Surprising Truth Behind Negative Self-Talk Among Successful Entrepreneurs Unpacking the Architecture of Negative Self-Talk...

Are you codependent with your business?
Entrepreneurs often link their identity and emotional state to their business's performance, creating a level of volatility that is extremely counterproductive to business goals. This issue is rooted in childhood needs, which are then projected onto the business, leading to an unhealthy reliance on its success for personal validation. I break it all down in this 12 min coaching segment from the Scale With Psychology Accelerator and talk about the importance of achieving a healthy separation betw...

Entropy - the invisible enemy of scaling
The one I consistently hear from entrepreneurs is their desire to feel more control in the business. It’s extremely vulnerable to feel like you lack a fundamental sense of agency in influencing outcomes. But this lack of control is the not the problem. It’s the symptom of a deeper problem. That deeper problem is unmitigated entropy. Entropy is a fact of life. No system is immune to it. Not your business, life, mind, relationships, body… …nothing. Unmanaged, systems deteriorate into chaos. And ch...

The psychology required to 10x with more ease & flow
Scaling exponentially requires balancing paradoxes. The larger the gap between the present and desired future, the more it will require us to hold a supreme amount of tension. Our ability to hold this tension is always limited by our nervous system capacity, and the psychological operating system running the show. We have to want it, while simultaneously being totally ok with not having it. We have to balance the pursuit of an incredible future with grounded presence in the current circumstances...

How to Deal with the Hardest Problems in Business & Relationships
Chances are there are things in your life or business you want to change. Chances are you think about these things constantly. You obsess over it. Ruminating constantly. Chances are, you see these things that you want to change as ‘problems’. You think about these problems so much as an attempt to solve them. Sometimes, we get so focused on a problem that the problem becomes our identity. We are defined by them so deeply that it becomes who we are. And we subconsciously self-sabotage because par...

When Discipline is Dangerous
Everyone and their grandmother seems to be yelling at you these days to be more disciplined. Yet, what happens when you try to (yet again) commit to that new habit that will change everything?
