I Stopped Hopping & Started Trusting
I just read a post that struck a nerve in me. In the best way. It was about self-trust. And how we destroy it, piece by piece, as entrepreneurs. Hereâs what hit me: I have good intuition. Really good intuition, actually. I can read people, spot patterns, sense when somethingâs off. But Iâve spent YEARS ignoring it. Because I thought the answer was out there somewhere - in the next course, the next framework, the next expertâs strategy. So I kept hopping. Trying things for a few weeks. Getting uncomfortable. Then burning it all down and starting over with someone elseâs âproven method.â I told myself I was âlearningâ and âstaying open.â But really? I was just avoiding trusting myself. Hereâs what the author said that made me stop scrolling: âThe reason my business wasnât where I thought it should be wasnât because I didnât have the right strategy, niche, or messaging. It was because I didnât trust myself to stay with a decision once it started to feel uncomfortable.â Oh. It wasnât that I needed MORE information. I needed to stop running when things got hard. The rules she shared that Iâm printing out today: âď¸ Donât buy courses to be saved. Only buy to grow. âď¸ Donât pivot until youâve properly tested an idea. âď¸ When it feels uncomfortable, sit with it. Donât burn it down. âď¸ Stop the impulse buying. Give yourself 24 hours. âď¸ Stop watching webinars and buying $7 courses. âď¸ When you drift, ask: does this bring my mission to life or pull me away from it? Iâve been in âlearning modeâ for so long, I forgot that building a business requires DOING mode. And doing requires trusting yourself enough to stay the course when your brain starts screaming âthis isnât working, try something new!â If youâre reading this and thinking âwait, is she in my head?â - youâre not alone. The shiny object syndrome, the expert-hopping, the strategy pivots⌠itâs not about discipline. Itâs about self-trust. What would change if you just picked ONE thing and committed to it for 90 days?
