Success Myths: Why Everything You Learned About Productivity Is Wrong

What if everything you believed about success was never yours to begin with?

As high-achieving entrepreneurs, we’re taught to value hard work, hustle, and being “on” 24/7. But what if those beliefs—about time, productivity, leadership, aren’t actually truths, but outdated mindsets we’ve inherited without question?

In this episode of Success Genius, I unpack six deeply embedded success myths that might be sabotaging your effectiveness and well-being. From “more hours equals more results” to “good leaders are always available,” we trace the origins of these beliefs and examine whether they truly serve the life and business you're building today.

Join me as we challenge these inherited mental models, explore how your mindset was shaped by systems you didn’t choose, and discover how to reclaim your power through intentional belief audits. Because success isn’t just about doing more, it’s about thinking differently.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The hidden origins of success mindsets that may be holding you back
• Why "more hours = more results" is an outdated belief from the Industrial Era
• How inherited myths around time, leadership, and productivity sabotage high achievers
• The power of doing a mindset audit to reclaim your effectiveness and well-being

What if the very beliefs driving your work ethic are actually keeping you stuck? Tune in and learn how to challenge inherited ideas, rewire your thinking, and redefine success, on your own terms.
