52. You Need to Stop Limiting Yourself, Friend!

01/06/21 • 14 min

I started my first business in 2010. Over the years, my business didn’t grow but the intensity of my work did. It was like opposite lines moving on a chart. One plummeted while the other skyrocketed. And it wasn’t going the way I wanted it to.

I used to stay up late every night and work on my business. I used to take calls and record podcasts starting at 7pm after the baby went down, which was a terrible idea. I was missing out on a lot—mostly sleep, and time with my husband. And I wasn’t gaining much financial value from it at all.

Now that I don’t work in the evening anymore, I am able to do more relaxing things, like watching Bridgerton and knitting... and that’s what I want to talk about today. Knitting.

53. The Quicksand Pit of Doom that Most Entrepreneurs Fall Into

This week I want to talk about a common mindset quicksand pit that many entrepreneurs find themselves falling into, including myself sometimes. It’s that feeling of “why isn’t this [fill in the blank] working for me?” That causes the quicksand to start to take you in.

Why isn’t my post getting any likes? Why isn’t anyone booking calls with me? What am I doing wrong? Why does the algorithm hate me? Why am I not getting the success I want? Why am I still in the same place now that I was in last year?

These are all thoughts you may have had before, or maybe you’re having them now. And living in these thoughts can really start to make you sink deeper and deeper into not getting anywhere. That’s why I call it the quicksand pit of doom. If you live in these thoughts, your business is doomed. Straight. Up.
