What has been my biggest learning from my business?
After years of working in the corporate world, I knew in 2020 (yes, during the start of the pandemic) that I wanted to work for myself. With my strong work ethic and being sick of being performance-punished, I knew that with hard work, I could build a successful business.
Yes, at times, it was hard as I had to learn new systems along the way. Imposter syndrome was real as I compared myself to other Resume Writers in the industry.
But during these times, I didn't give up, as I could see the value in the service and quality of work I delivered to my clients, which was evident in their results. I also identified early on in my business what was to be my niche offerings.
My biggest learning is that so many of us lack confidence, and I love working on this with my clients.
Tip 1 - Our belief in ourselves is the foundation upon which our success is built.
Each of us has a unique strength and potential that can help us overcome challenges. These strengths, often untapped, reside within us, waiting to be discovered and harnessed. By believing in ourselves and staying focused on our goals, we can triumph over any hurdle that comes our way.
It is critical not to succumb to imposter syndrome, which is SO easy to do, especially when starting to work on our goals. Yes, it is difficult at times not to compare ourselves to others or think we can never get to the same standard or level as others, but remember, they started at some point with the same doubts we have; they are just ahead in their path than we are.
Tip 2 - Remember, the journey towards achieving our dreams isn't always smooth.
It's the driving force that pushes us forward, even when the odds are against us. It's the energy that propels us to keep trying, to keep pushing, to keep striving for our goals.
Staying focused on our goals, even in the face of adversity, is another crucial element in overcoming obstacles. It's easy to get distracted and lose sight of what we're striving for. But by maintaining a laser-like focus on our aspirations, we can navigate through the toughest of times and emerge victorious.
There will be bumps along the way, moments of doubt, and times when giving up seems like the easier option. But it's in those moments that our true strength shines through.
When we push through the pain, when we persevere despite the challenges, that's when we truly grow.
Tip 3 - Keep that strength within you.
So, believe in yourself and stay focused on your goals. Know that the strength within you is greater than any obstacle you may face. And remember, every step you take, no matter how small, is a step closer to achieving your desires, which is exactly what I have done to obtain the business that I now have.
