About this listen
Are the people in your inner circle supporting or sabotaging your success?
Are you tired of dealing with friends and family who criticize your dreams, minimize your talent and don’t clap when you win?
Are you ready to build a powerful inner circle of people will help you hold the vision, trust the process and have your back all the way through the journey?
Isn’t it time you stopped allowing your inner circle to hold you in an inner cage?
If all of the above are things you’ve been debating in your head, then you should check out: Inner Circle or Inner Cage: 10 Ways to Figure Out Who’s Got Your Back and Who Needs to Go
Written by Kassandra Vaughn, author of Own It! The Only Thing That Will Change Everything in Your Life and host of the She Runs The Show podcast on iTunes, Inner Circle or Inner Cage, provides a serious look at who’s in your inner circle, how they got there, and what you need to do to make sure that only the right people get to be in your inner circle from now on.
You’ve heard it said before: You become the company you keep.
And, so often, we give people private access to our deepest dreams in the hopes that they’ll have our back…and even when we discover that they don’t, we still keep them in our inner circle hoping that one day they’ll come around.
Here’s the problem with that: Nobody’s neutral.
Either people lift you up or bring you down. There’s no in between on that…and if you’re allowing people to have a spot in your inner circle because they’re "family" or your spouse or someone you grow up with—and those people are constantly bringing you down—you aren’t lifting them up; they are holding you back…and that won’t work if achieving your biggest life dreams is what you’re here to do.
Inside this powerful, strategic and hands-on book, you’ll learn:
- The role that approval and acceptance plays in who you’ve put in your inner circle
- Seven reasons we allow negative people into our inner circle and why it’s so hard to get them out
- How inner circle audits work and what you can do to conduct one in your life today!
- What codependence is really about and how to identify what steps you need to take to break the cycle
- Tools you can use to assess how supportive family and friends are of your dreams
- Five critical steps to establishing a powerful inner circle
- The secret to firing negative people from your inner circle and never allowing them back in
- Courageous steps you can to own your power, stand firm on your dreams and not allow anyone to make you feel like you aren’t worthy of the best
- Ten ways to perform an inner circle audit and get to the bottom of who’s got your back and who needs to go
- And so much more.
Ready to have an inner circle that is for you, that doesn’t feel like a cage and that gives you the space to be as powerful as you truly are? Don’t wait any longer. Buy this book now and get your inner circle right!

Story
It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself and start building the qualities that will make you an authentic, amazing leader. In the past century, women have scaled new heights in the workplace. From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations. Yet, women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only five percent of Fortune 500 CEOs, and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce.

Success in anything heavily relies on your confidence and self-esteem. Whether it’s getting the job or getting the girl/boy, whether it’s closing the deal or winning over the in-laws, your confidence is the thing that gets you through the door. So many of us struggle with low self-esteem and a timid spirit. We believe we’re not enough. We think we could never be brave “like him” or successful “like her”, so we slump our shoulders, slink off into the background, and throw pity parties for ourselves.

In The Power of Your Potential, John Maxwell identifies and examines the 17 key capacities each of us possesses. Some we are born with, such as how we think or how we naturally relate to other people. The rest are choices, often unconscious, including our attitude or personal disciplines. All are expandable.
