Ditch Self-Doubt & Get Started: Business & Goals Edition
Failure is a stepping stone that takes you closer to where you want to be. But what happens when you don’t have the self-belief to even get started?? There's a huge mindset shift that needs to happen in order for you to reach ANY goal. Today I'm going to teach you how to use this shift to gain momentum on your goals.
The Mindset Shift
There’s a huge mindset shift that needs to happen in order to ditch the self-doubt. You need to be a plan A type of girl. Here’s what that looks like- you have to be fully committed to your plan A that you have decided that this is going to work for you and that you are actually good enough. It is a choice. You have to be able to make that choice. When you make this choice, it won’t matter that you will fail- you just keep going. When you have a coach who is helping you keep your vision at the forefront, it becomes much easier to forge ahead.
I have a few examples from my own life. When I was first starting out with my business, I didn't believe in myself and I was super insecure. I had an old boyfriend who said I never would achieve this dream and loved to bring me down. It was from this relationship that I made the shift to ditch self doubt.
How to Create Content
Instagram is my top platform. I have been on Instagram for several years and here are a few things I’ve found to be helpful when starting a business and using Instagram to help you do it. Take yourself out of the equation- this content isn't for YOU; it's for the person you're trying to help. Create valuable content that helps your audience get to know, like, and trust you. I know it can be difficult, but you have to create content when no one is watching, reading or commenting.
Building My Business
It wasn’t until I made a big investment that I really started to make traction in my business and eliminate the self doubt. This works because it’s scary, uncomfortable, but it's the type of uncomfortable and accountability we need. You may or may not have heard this, but you become like the 5 people you spend the most time with. If you’re surrounding yourself with like-minded people, your business will begin to grow. If you don't believe in yourself, find a coach who believes in you so damn much they will hold the vision for you through times of self doubt. Newsflash, self doubt will always be there, you just get better at working through the fear.
Building Self Belief for ANY Goal
Whether or not you want to build a business, you can build self belief for any goal. Here are the steps I take:
VISUALIZE - if I have a vision and a desire then it’s been put on my heart for a reason. I don't question god/source/universe.
Self Investment- reading, journaling, meditating, resting, and working out/moving your body. Tell yourself that you matter.
Positive self Image- what do you believe is possible for you?
The pain of staying stuck is far far greater than the pain it will take to get on the other side of your dream.
