Are you being hard on yourself or you're not trying enough?
"Too Hard on Yourself": You're putting too much pressure on yourself and not enjoying the process."
"Not trying hard enough": you're not living up to your potential.
No matter where you are right now:
You need to stop any form of self-sabotage:
1. 1. Trust the Process
The key to success is to trust the process.
Most people think success is linear and can be fully predicted.
Jeff Bezos quit his high paying job to start a company.
He transitioned from selling physical books to creating one of the world’s largest online store – Amazon.
Could anybody have predicted Amazon’s success from start? I doubt much.
2. Quit the perfection mentality
Learn to be more forgiving of your mistakes and celebrate your successes. Good enough and done is better than perfect but imagined.
3. Let your Vision be greater than your fears
Are you willing to let your feelings, fears and self-doubt get the best of you? Make sure you set a purpose that is much bigger than yourself and give everything to maintain that focus.
4. Prioritize self-care
Self-care includes: - Proper rest & deep sleep - Quality diet for nutrition and recovery - Meditation for stress management - Exercise for physical and mental health
5. Focus on creating impact over money
Money goals are amazing and needed and I have them - but impact & value goals are equally important.
Don't just think about how you can make more money. Think about how you can help someone get the result they want.
Shift focus away from the money and focus on the value for customer
6. Create your own luck
And if you’re reading this right now on a phone or laptop… You’re one of the luckiest groups of people in the world.
"To be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running; and, if you have a good team around you and more than your fair share of luck, you might make something happen. But you certainly can’t guarantee it just by following someone else’s formula." - Richard Branson
7. Never let someone talk you out of your dreams
A lot of people especially "friends" and family would be skeptical when you go on a path that's unconventional.
"What if you lose money?" "You should get a real job." "Most businesses fail..."
Don't give up when it seems the hardest. Keep pushing!
