SUMMARY:
The way that you think of yourself and your capabilities can make or break you as an entrepreneur.
Scary but true!
I want to share with you the one major mindset shift that has allowed me to build a hugely successful creative business that lets me live the life I want to live - when I had ZERO experience doing anything like it before.
But first, let’s get one thing clear: life doesn’t become perfect once you run your own business. Being an entrepreneur has its own challenges and anxieties, and it’s not a simple 9-5 gig.
Being your own boss doesn’t solve all of your problems — it just changes the shape of the problems you face.
But... it can also change the way that you think about yourself.
I used to think of myself as pessimistic, risk-averse, and SO NOT a businessperson.
Now, I think of myself as someone who is constantly growing, learning, and getting stronger. I no longer see failure as a reason to stop trying. I see possibilities and challenges as fun, instead of intimidating.
Being an entrepreneur changed the way I think about myself, because it also changed the way I THINK.
Taking multiple risks has helped me learn how to take calculated, educated risks. Making sales and building my network has given me new confidence in my entrepreneurial abilities.
Point being: the limiting beliefs you experience now may not be true. And if they ARE, they sure don’t have to stay that way!
