An Antidote for Blame As A Business Onwer with Sophie Weill

Ever met someone who likes playing the blame game? You know, the one. Where one person does something, and then the other one gets to tell them how they did it wrong and why it's their fault? Fun!It can be a fairly destructive game, not just for the person being blamed, but the one doing the blaming, as well.A challenge is that when we play the blame game, we give away our power. We make them a villain and ourselves the victim. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s that, for many people, when they feel like a victim, they feel powerless. It’s unresourceful.In this week's episode, Sophie and I dive into the concept of blame: what it’s there for, what it costs us (you'll probably care), and what you can do about it if you catch yourself caught up by it.2:32 - the ego’s protection game4:06 - “look Blame, you’re doing your best”5:58 - power and responsibility10:31 - obstacles… at their real-est11:52 - I mean, you could always start a revolution…19:59 - who invited radical commitment to this episode?38:04 - author’s note - a softeningConnect with Ben: Website l IGConnect with Sophie: Website l IG l PodcastThis podcast that helps business owners reduce overwhelm, beat imposter syndrome, and lead with confidence and clarity by diving into practical strategies for breaking through self-imposed ceilings, tackling the fear of not being good enough or worthy enough, and overcoming the fear of failure.
