Today is
what I like to call Mindset Monday... it's the day I get to set my working 'mantra' for the week.
I find that my weeks generally have some sort of a theme, and that if I can set a mindset mantra for myself for the week, it just puts things into perspective as I go through my week.
It's just a helpful practice that I thought I'd share in case you want to try it on for yourself. :)
I'll give you an example from my personal business...
Right now I'm in the middle of some huge projects in my business. I find that I tend to get bogged down with being a perfectionist, and it gets
in my way and slows down the process of getting my work out into the world.
When I'm ultra aware of this, it helps me to just plow through things without having to waste time on the perfectionist side of things.
So, my mantra for this week is:
"You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going."
I have it set as a reminder on my phone, and I have it on sticky notes around my office and my house. It will help me stay on track this week.
I think one of the biggest reasons
people get stopped and slowed down as entrepreneurs is this very issue.
We start to say things to ourselves like:
- I'm not good enough
- This work is not as good as FILL IN THE NAME OF A GURU IN YOUR NICHE HERE.
- This has
been said before
-It just needs a little more work
...And so many other bogus conversations we have with ourselves.
And, after a while we get completely overwhelmed
and never finish what we started at all.
We end up not getting our work out into the world.
It's a crying shame.
So, I invite you to just check in and ask yourself:
What’s really holding me back?
And, I can pretty much guarantee that the answer has to do with your mindset.
Here's a new perspective that might help.
Take the pressure off of yourself and think about your avatar, your target audience. Think about the person whose life you are going to change with the knowledge you have to share.
Until you share your knowledge, your voice, and your perspective, you’re doing an incredible disservice to those out there who could benefit from
it.
So, feel free to steal my mantra for the week ("You don't have top get it right, you just have to get it going"), or come up with one that serves you for your unique situation in your business this week.
Hit reply and let me know your mantra for the week. I'd love to hear from you. :)
Have an awesome Monday!
