In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Fletcher, NLP and mBIT coach and trainer, for a powerful conversation about the role our state plays in how we show up — in life, in leadership, and in business. We explore what it really means to “manage your state,” why awareness always comes before change, and how small shifts can create big results.

Sarah shares her journey into personal development and the tools that changed everything for her, including NLP and mBIT (multiple brain integration techniques). Together, we talk about the power of choice — the choice to shift your state, the choice to respond differently, and the choice to step into possibility rather than staying stuck.

We also touch on the ripple effect: how the way we manage our own state not only shapes our decisions and productivity, but also the energy we bring to our clients and loved ones.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in overwhelm, reacting instead of responding, or simply wanting to feel more in control of how you move through your day, this episode will give you insights and practical shifts to make lasting positive change.

Feeling stuck? Not seeing the results? It might not be your strategy — it might be your identity.

In this powerful episode of Productivity for Profit, Libby explores one of the most important mindset shifts entrepreneurs and business owners can make:
👉 Your business will never consistently outperform your identity.

That means: if the current version of you doesn’t fully believe you’re capable of leading, earning, growing or succeeding — you’ll keep bumping into the same frustrations, even if your strategy is solid.

But here’s the good news:
You don’t need to wait for external success before stepping into the next version of you.
You can start embodying her now — in your mindset, decisions, energy and habits.

Why this matters:

When your identity is in alignment with your ambition and your biggest goals, everything changes.
Your focus increases.
You make the right decisions confidently
You take bolder action — and you actually follow through.
You stop holding back or waiting for permission.
And your results finally start to reflect the work you’ve been putting in.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why waiting to feel ready is keeping you stuck
• How identity shapes your results more than your to-do list ever could
• The key ways to start embodying your future self — right now
• A reframe that will shift how you think about growth, goals and self-belief
• Why acting from your future identity is more powerful than acting toward it

🎧 Plus: Libby guides you through a simple but transformative mindset exercise at the end of the episode to help you define your next-level identity and begin aligning your actions, and energy with it straight away.

📄 There’s also a free worksheet to help you go deeper with the prompts and questions in this episode — grab it HERE and set aside a moment to reflect and write.

If you're ready to unlock more ease, clarity and momentum in your business — this episode will show you how.
