Inevitable in your business building journey is the reality that you will feel very strong doubt that your new venture will actually work. After all, you’ve never done anything like this before so why would it based on past precedent? You’re in unchartered land, and you feel like you’re going at it blind.
Perhaps the vision you hold of yourself limits your sense of self-worth and whether you think, feel and believe you deserve the success you seek. You’re not good enough. You don’t know what the f&*% you’re doing or saying… might start creeping in your head…
Aaaaah, the good ol’ voice of doubt. So powerful, so overbearing.
I admit it – I have my bad days when everything seems grey and hopeless...
The following is what keeps me going, try one or try them ALL preferably:
1. I think: “There are many other individuals, just like me, who ARE doing it. And doing it successfully!” Find evidence of others’ success.
2. Bring yourself right back to NOW. Because when you’re in that mental and emotional space you’re way into the future – an unwanted future that hasn’t happened yet. Remember – your present is dictating your future…
3. Question those negative thoughts. Challenge them – probe… Ask yourself: “Do I know this to be 100% true”.
4. Release. Release. Release. Give up your need to control the situation… Surrender to a higher power – whatever that is for you.
5. Ask! You have no idea what a powerful creator and attractor you are… Ask for guidance, reassurance, anything!
6. Stop thinking about HOW you’re going to get there… Keep your goal and mental picture at the forefront of your mind.
7. Remember: Any goal that’s worthy of you is going to stretch what you’ve previously accomplished!

Are you interested or are you committed to starting your business?
The answer to this question is what separates the mediocre, flaky business-owners from the stellar, passionate and successful ones.
A few disclaimers:
1 – When you decide to start your solo-biz, be sure to fill up your patience reservoir because it’s a process. Just like it takes 10-12 weeks to see the basil seed grow into its full form, it takes time to see the fruits of your business building labor. And just like all else – you get what you put into it.
2- Don’t quit your day job. YET. You don’t want to be freaking out and putting even more pressure on yourself to make money ASAP from your new business – it’s screws up your energy and only keeps your further from your goals. If you’re employed at the moment, stay where you are and feel gratitude for that steady paycheck and stability. Yes, you’ll have to go the extra mile, make (temporary) sacrifices and work even stronger for the interim, but it will be worth every sweat drop and tear.
3- No one said it would be breezy. Starting your solo-biz is work and an immense learning curve that will make you purge all your gunk both in your personal life as well as your professional. There’s no hiding – the changes and evolution are inevitable. Yes, it will get scary. Yes, you will cry and want to quit, run and hide… but guess what, you will emerge a stronger, wiser and more powerful.
Can you imagine how life will be once you’re running your own profitable business and living your passion?
So, ask yourself today – are you INTERESTED in starting your business or are you COMMITTED?
If you’re interested, you will do what you feel like doing, when you feel like doing it.
If you’re committed, you will do what must be done and whatever it takes to get there.
If you’re interested, you will treat your business like a hobby and will therefore get those results.
If you’re committed, you will take on any challenge full force and head on and the results will far surpass your wildest dreams.
The choice darlin’, is totally up to you.
