5 Struggles - I worked (and still am working) for several years for someone that has always paid well but consistently takes my work, creatives and such without thanks or payment and disrespects me rather consistently.Ā - I consistently put pressure on myself to deliver and I seem to always do well for other people but Iām not showing up enough for myself and my businessĀ - I am not brave or bold enough to go āall-inā on myself and my business.Ā - I deal with moments of feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed and stressed with frustration. This in turn makes it harder to push myself and business towards where it needs to be because I feel I canāt give myself fully to any one thing during these moments.Ā - I am fearful of becoming my parents later in life. They didnāt do well to set themselves up for retirement, made poor investments and bad money decisions. I strive to do, in a lot of ways, the opposite of what they did and sometimes to the extreme.Ā 5 Contrasting Wins - Disrespect: Even so, I learned EXACTLY how to operate a successful online business. The sales, the clinical skills, the product, the funnels, etc. Social media is the last piece. I know Iām off to the races if I can complete this.Ā - Pressure: When I apply that same pressure to myself, I succeed. There has never been a class, exam, client assignment, patient, etc that hasnāt lowered my standard for myself.Ā - Brave: I am brave and bold in so many ways within my life. Snowboarding in the Rockies and the Alps. Sticking up for friends. Protecting and supporting my fiance. There is no reason I canāt turn that on for my business.Ā - Frustration: The frustration in those moments needs to be redirected into productive energy. That wonāt be what allows me to get to my goal nor aid me in my current work. But if I can harness that and repurpose it productively I can confidently take more steps forward.Ā - Fear: Itās pushed me to make sounder financial decisions, stress and worry about finances in a good way so that myself and fiance can live a happy life in our golden years.Ā
