Описание: Why do capable, intelligent entrepreneurs still feel stuck, despite doing everything “right”?

In this episode of The Necessary Entrepreneur, host Mark Perkins sits down with John Mitchell, founder of TheMissingSecret.org, to uncover the unseen mental patterns that quietly shape success, decision-making, and fulfillment in business.

John explains why strategy, motivation, and hard work often fail to create lasting change, and why most entrepreneurs unknowingly repeat the same cycles. At the center of the conversation is what John calls “the missing secret”: the internal identity-level beliefs and subconscious frameworks that determine how leaders show up, react under pressure, and define success.

This conversation explores:

Why logic and willpower aren’t enough to change behavior

The subconscious patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck

How identity shapes performance, leadership, and results

The difference between surface-level improvement and real transformation

Why awareness is the first step to sustainable success

How leaders can gain clarity, confidence, and alignment

This episode is essential for entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and business leaders who want deeper clarity, better decision-making, and long-term growth—without hype, hustle culture, or empty motivation.
