8 - The Entrepreneurial Rollercoaster: Dealing with Emotional Breakdowns & Obstacles In Your Journey
Are you on the entrepreneurial roller coaster – and ready to barf? I’ve been there, and it ain’t fun. In today’s episode, I’m going to share the obstacles and self-sabotage I experienced – and commonly see in my students – that hinder moneymaking and have you screaming to STOP THE RIDE. The thing is, your business is a reflection of your inner world (chaos, insecurities, and all) so if you want to see transformation and growth in your business, it starts with a good hard look at yourself.
“Entrepreneurship is a reflection of your inner world.”
– Rachel Bell
I had a whole host of things holding me back for years and I can’t lie, I still take a stroll down Struggle Street every once in a while. But now, I get it: recognizing, understanding, squashing and reframing my self-limitations are all part of the journey towards a life of success and freedom. On the show, I’ll dive into the mindset necessary to gear-up for the entrepreneurial ride that can be so beautiful, fun, and liberating – if you let it.
You’ll also get the truth about your temporary circumstance and get a dose of reality about your worth and self-care. When you realize that the universe provides what you need and you shift into being motivated by love, you’ll be dropping right into that PAYDAY, BAYBAY!
