Conquering FEAR and Shattering Self-Limiting Beliefs with Mitch Russo

Presented by VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt on The Coffee In The Greenroom Podcast

In the world of entertainment, where actors, models, and musicians continuously face an onslaught of rejections, criticisms, and self-doubt, there’s an imperative need to master the mental game. It’s not just about talent; it’s also about resilience, mindset, and the ability to overcome personal barriers that can stifle creativity and progress. The latest episode of “The Coffee In The Greenroom Podcast,” hosted by VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt, delves deep into this mental game.

Our guest, Mitch Russo, a multi-faceted business coach, author, podcast host, and CEO, is no stranger to overcoming challenges and pushing boundaries. His storied career, which includes founding Timeslips Corp (which he later sold for a staggering eight figures), serving as COO of Sage, PLC, and holding the esteemed position of CEO for Tony Robbins and Chet Holmes’ Business Breakthroughs International, stands testament to his tenacity and forward-thinking approach. Under his leadership, Business Breakthroughs International soared to heights of over $25 million in annual revenue.

Beyond his business acumen, Mitch’s recent venture into creating certification programs, associations, and his active role in podcasting positions him as a unique voice – one that resonates with authenticity and depth. His insights, particularly about self-limiting beliefs and the concept of FEAR, are incredibly relevant not just for business professionals but equally for artists in the acting, modeling, and music arenas.

Demystifying Self-Limiting Beliefs

During the podcast, Mitch opened up about his personal battles with self-limiting beliefs. These are the internal narratives, often seeded by past experiences or societal impositions, which tell us that we are “not good enough,” or “incapable,” or “unworthy.” For actors, models, and musicians, these beliefs can be crippling. Imagine walking into an audition, already defeated by the voice in your head that says, “I’ll never get this part.” Mitch emphasized the profound truth: once you recognize, challenge, and overcome a self-limiting belief, it ceases to limit you.

His perspective can offer solace and guidance for artists. Overcoming these beliefs is a journey, but once traversed, you’re not only free from that particular belief but also armed with the knowledge and confidence that you can tackle the next one. As Mitch put it, once you conquer a self-limiting belief, it’s no longer ‘self-limiting.’

 Facing FEAR Head-On

 Mitch delved deeper into the mindset challenges by discussing FEAR, aptly described as False Evidence Appearing Real. It’s a universal feeling, experienced by everyone from the newbie actor stepping onto a stage for the first time, to the seasoned musician about to release a deeply personal album, to the model walking the ramp amidst hundreds of flashing cameras.

But what if we reframe how we see fear? Mitch’s perspective is enlightening: once you confront and go past your fear, it can no longer frighten you. This transformational shift in perception can be the difference between stagnation and growth, between rejection and success.
