If you are thinking of starting your own business, here is my biggest learning from going down that path. Reprogram the way you think and feel about yourself, your business, your (potential) clients, marketing, everything! The biggest stumbling blocks are in yourself. I am talking about the values, attitudes and beliefs you have adopted a long time ago. They are still inside of you, safely stored away in a part of your mind we call the subconscious mind. From there, they control over 90% of your experiences every single day. These beliefs determine if you are (subconsciously) supporting your (conscious) intentions and goals or if you are sabotaging them. Example beliefs you may carry in your subconscious: It's hard to start a business. Money doesn't come easy. I am not good enough. I am not smart enough. People are not interested in what I am offering. I am not doing this right. It will take a long time for me to be successful, if at all. I have to work really hard for my success. If any of the above beliefs are yours, they are part of YOUR truth. They will affect everything you are trying to accomplish. The good news is that you can change them. Why? Because your recurring thoughts and emotions are like tape recordings in your mind. You can overwrite them. To do that, you need techniques that allow you to access the storage house, the hard drive, which is your subconscious mind. Many modalities under the umbrella of Energy Psychology or Belief Change focus on exactly that. The one I mostly use is PSYCH-K® . I invite you to start listening to your thoughts and feel into your emotions. They are a gauge for your state of mind and heart. You may be surprised what you are telling yourself all day long. Decide for yourself if your self-talk supports you with your plans or not. Book a free call or session with me to learn more. I did a short entrepreneur interview for a media company that supports people who want to go solo. You can check it out here .
