Beyond the Pressure: Overcoming the Need to Prove Yourself as a Business Owner

What do you do when you realize that a lot of your identity throughout your life has been rooted in trying to prove something to somebody?
How do you find a new fuel source when you’re no longer fueled by the need to prove yourself?
These are the kinds of questions that have been playing on my mind lately, and I want to share some of my thoughts with you. We’re getting personal in this episode as we talk about why we seek external validation, how to move on from the need to prove ourselves, and what to replace that need with.
Topics covered in this episode include:
The exhaustion that comes from constantly trying to prove yourself
How to be content with where you are while satisfying the desire to grow
Practical ways to stop seeking external validation
If you’re wrestling with this, know that I’m right there with you. If you want to join me as I stop trying to move myself to others, tune in to this episode.
