I was inspired to create this post after one of my clients sent me her weekly update, identifying her business wins and challenges, and how she plans to overcome them. She shared the emotional upheavel she's been experiencing - the overwhelm, self doubt, comparison to others, the imposter syndrome...all the triggers which are typical of anyone who is on their entrepreneurial journey, which come to the surface in order to be overcome. And it got me thinking...💭
The entrepreneurial journey is one of the most triggering processes anyone can put themselves through. It will bring to the surface every wound, every weakness, every fear as you jump timelines between the person you are now and the person you have the potential to be. It involves a 'mini death' of the current self, because to build a business involves a different mindset, different habits, different skills, different coping strategies, different people around you...a different you! You cannot become the autonomous and successful version of who you are, if you stay stuck in your old ways. It requires hard work, learning, unlearning, letting go and sacrifice which are all very very uncomfortable.
So why bother?...
Because the cost of staying as you are is far greater and in the long run will create more discomfort than you can possibly imagine. The regret and disappointment of not going for what you want - taking your idea and birthing it into the world - it's hard to forgive!
The entrepreneurial journey is not for the faint hearted, but for those who step into their courage day after day - the rewards go beyond money and status...they enter the world of personal evolution, freedom and alignment.
It's a tough nut to crack, especially alone. So if you've set your heart on building a business and you'd like guidance, support and accountability on your journey, drop me a DM and we can arrange a free consultation.
