As entrepreneurs, we often focus on the tangible aspects of building a successful business – the strategies, the action plans, the metrics. But what if I told you that the most crucial element of achieving your audacious goals isn’t found in a spreadsheet or a business plan? It’s found within you – embracing and embodying the identity of your future self!
When you can learn how to tune into your future self and embrace their identity, you will become the person who achieves every goal you set!

The Identity-Future Self Connection
You’ve heard the saying, “What got you here won’t get you there,” right? Well, it’s not just about what you do – it’s about who you are. The person you are right now, with your current thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, isn’t the same person who will achieve those big, scary goals you’ve set for yourself.
Think about it. If you were already fully aligned with that massive vision you have for your business, wouldn’t you already have achieved it?
The Radio Frequency Metaphor
Let me break this down with a metaphor that might help. Imagine your goal as a radio frequency being broadcast into the world. To receive that frequency – to achieve that goal – you need to tune yourself to match it.
If you’re tuned to 92.5 FM, you can’t pick up a signal broadcasting at 101.3 FM. It’s the same with your goals. If your identity isn’t aligned with your aspirations, you’re not going to pick up the frequency of success you’re aiming for.
Real-World Identity Shifts
This isn’t just theory – I’ve lived it, and I’ve seen it in action with my clients. Let me share a few examples:
Becky’s Breakthrough
Becky, a graduate of my Foundry program, didn’t see herself as a real business owner when we first met. She treated her work as a hobby. But when she shifted her identity and started seeing herself as a serious businesswoman, guess what happened? She achieved her entire annual revenue goal in just 90 days.
Stephanie’s Transformation
Another Foundry graduate, Stephanie, tripled her monthly revenue. The key? She became more confident in sharing her prices, reaching out to potential clients, and advocating for herself as a business owner.
The 50/50 Rule of Success
Here’s a truth bomb for you: success is about 50% strategy and 50% identity. You can have the most brilliant business plan in the world, but if you’re not embodying the identity of someone who can execute that plan, you’re going to struggle.
On the flip side, you can do all the mindset work in the world, but without a solid strategy, you’re just spinning your wheels.
Bridging the Identity Gap
So, how do you start this identity work? Here’s a simple exercise:
- Envision your future self: Who is the version of you that has already achieved your big goal?
- Identify the gap: What’s the difference between that future you and the current you?
- Take daily steps: Ask yourself every day, “How can I close this gap just a little bit more?”
The Power of Community
Remember, you don’t have to do this alone. Surrounding yourself with like-minded entrepreneurs who are also doing this identity work can accelerate your growth. It’s why I created the Foundry – to provide a space for ambitious women to transform not just their businesses, but themselves.
Your Invitation to Defy Reality
As we wrap up, I want to leave you with this thought: Your big, audacious goals aren’t just possible – they’re inevitable. But only if you become the person who can achieve them.
Are you ready to tune your frequency to success? To step into the identity of the entrepreneur who’s already achieved your wildest dreams?
Remember, defying reality starts with defying your own limitations. It’s time to become the you that your future self is waiting for!
