293FF: I Screwed Up

People will not always agree with you when you put yourself out there. And I am not infallible. I am a human being and I screw up sometimes. I hope the story I am sharing with you today will uplift and inspire you! Enjoy! 5 Key Takeaways

1. A lot of people who go into business, especially people in online business, who make themselves their brand, there’s often a message that they are either explicitly or implicitly taught, which is that, if you can be controversial in some way, then it’s a good thing.
2. Being controversial can mean a lot of things – you can take that as far as you want to. But controversial can just mean you are digging your heels in with what you believe, and you’re not going to be wishy-washy about any of it.
3. Those people in the business of making themselves their own brand become controversial for two reasons: One, because it may be part of their belief system, and two, because from a marketing perspective, if you can make some waves, any attention is a good attention.
4. Sometimes we have an emotion that’s not positive, and sometimes there’s a lot of pain there. And rather than dealing with it, we escape it and put a band-aid on it and just think that if we’re positive enough our life will change.
5. There’s a lot of healing to be done with sitting with a difficult emotion.

Quotes: "Even the people that like some of what you do are not going to love everything you do, and beyond that, some people are not going to be very forgiving of a mistake you may make.” “There is a perfection to us that is divine, but there’s also imperfection to us that are humanness, and that’s okay.” Action Steps

• Whatever people want to say to you when they don’t agree with you, hold it in a place of respect or love or whatever you need to do, then let it go.
• Love yourself enough to not let other people’s perceptions of you pull you down. Take it as feedback that’s helpful to you. Don’t let it dissuade you from being who you really want to be in the world.
• If you have a misstep, own up to it.
