Is your business bullying you?
I know that sounds like a crazy click bait question to ask, but just think about it.
What do bullies do?
They make you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're a failure and make you
question your self-worth, they knock you down every time you try to get back up.
Make you dread the next time you have to face this, shattering any trace of positivity
and filling it with doubt and fear of failure.
And that's how many of us entrepreneurs feel like every day, as we face this world of
never ending challenges and setbacks that can mentally and emotionally tear us apart inside.
And I think it is fair to say that as entrepreneurs many of us got into business in the pursuit
of freedom, to give us a way to be in control of our lives and give us a platform to do
something we are truly passionate about.
But this lifestyle is often blown up on social media by all these self-proclaimed gurus and
it's portrayed as a path to easy money, fancy parties and private planes.
But no one really stops to talk about the other side of the story, about how running
your own business and being an entrepreneur can actually be a really isolated and consuming journey
And for a lot of entrepreneurs I see the same problems over and over again,
as things continue to get worse, as they start to think
that the solution is that they need more tactics, or they need to change their branding,
or maybe they are missing some magical strategy that somehow is going to make everything better.
And we get so caught up in the marketing or delivery of a project, thinking that's where
the issue is, when in reality we are overlooking the core of the problem, which is how we think
and feel about ourselves and the beliefs that are holding us back, about who we are or what
we can or can't do.
And for many this is why they're stuck, and they're not getting the success that they
deserve. So if it feels like your business is controlling
you and everyday is becoming a never ending battle just to get by, with your confidence
at an all time low, and the anxiety and uncertainty controlling
your actions and decisions.
If any of this is happening to you, then you have to learn to focus on your mindset.
Because until you get that shift, you're going to continue going round in circles.
And one of the ways we can do this is by using a process called 'thought reversal' to
change the thoughts and stories in your head.
Because once you do that, then you can change how you think about yourself, you can let go of
the past, develop stronger relationships, and find that happiness in who you are.
But for this to happen you have to achieve three things:
This first one is you have to figure out where you are now and where you want to be,
because once you get that clarity,
then you can break it down into a step by step process, and put together a plan on how you are going to to close the gap
The second is you need to figure out what is holding you back and
what you have to do in order to let it go
because you may not even realise it, but those past experiences, those feelings and events,
they may still be directly affecting the thoughts and stories in your head today
And the third is you have to take responsibility for your thoughts and actions,
and start to see that while you can't change what happened,
what you can do is change how you respond to it going forward.
Getting this shift in your mindset is going
to lay the foundation for what's going to become a more confident, positive and stronger
entrepreneur, and from there you can then empower yourself to actually start moving forward
with your life.
And that's going to have the knock on effect of helping you grow your business, as you'll
mentally be in the right state of mind to actually get better results, to be able to make better decisions,
and actually start pursuing your passions,
as you become more resilient to the challenges that come your way.
But all of this starts with becoming self-aware,
which is why you need to take a moment and have a have an honest reflection
with yourself, about why you feel the way that you do and what is holding you back in your life.
Because by learning to reverse the thoughts in your head, you can silence the voice that's telling
you you're not good enough, you're a failure and making you question you self-worth, and
from doing that, then you can put yourself into a positive state of mind, where you can reignite your
confidence, you can let go of the past and you can actually shatter the beliefs that are holding you
back, about what you can and can't do, and the life that you have to live
And from there create a momentum that spills over
into all areas of your life, reigniting that energy, firing up that passion and making
you the true driver of your success.
So remember the 3 things:
1) Figure out where you are now and where you want to be
2) Figure out what is holding you back and what you have to learn from it to let it go
3) Take responsibility for your thoughts and actions
