“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh
When you launch a business it is so easy to focus on everything you need to do. You’re in total “doing” mode where to-do lists take on a life of their own.
However, it is critically important to take the time to do a little internal excavation. YOU are your most important asset in your business.
I’ve always said that starting and growing a business is the biggest personal development exercise you’ll ever go through. It’s true. Everything – and I do mean everything! – comes to the surface. All your insecurities, fear, stories, beliefs, doubts, relationship dynamics, and so much more.
Even though you didn’t sign up for a deep look into your inner workings – you will no doubt be faced with it. So better to be proactive and take a look now. Because they’ll come looking for you and when the do it’s usually at the worst possible time ever!
“Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.” ― Steve Maraboli
Your Mindset is made up of years of learning, experiences, influences, stories and more.
A positive mindset gives you the extra resilience and drive you need to make things happen.
A not-so-positive mindset can STOP you in your tracks… and you may not even know why.
Your mindset is powerful and you need to get it cleaned up and on board in order to go after everything you want and deserve out this amazing life.
Facing Fear
“There is no fear for one whose mind is not filled with desires.” – Buddha
If you are pursuing your desires, chasing after your purpose, following your calling or just wanting to go your own way (queue Fleetwood Mac), then fear will show up.
It’s what you do with it, when it does arrive, that makes all the difference.
Here are some worksheets, resources and more on how to face it, work through it, and push on through!
Embracing Failure
“Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.” – Confucious
Mistakes, stumbles and all our bombs happen to everyone – yes!
Every. Single. Entrepreneur. So you need to plan for it and adopt a different way to view when failure happens.
