How Did I Get Out Of My Own Way In My Business And How Can You Too

Getting out of my own way started with

Making the decision to start the blog, to start the business which wasn’t easy especially

When you are scared, feeling lost, feeling like you are doing something odd

Since no one is around you doing it.

Looking at other peers getting jobs and climbing the corporate ladder

While you are here doing something no one really knows and you still don’t have anything to show for it.

I am proud of myself for doing it though.

I started my blog with the intention to make it a business, a brand that was my goal all along

So, I never thought of becoming an influencer or anything.

Making the decision and taking action on was something and doing the work to make it happen something else.

It brought up a lot of self-sabotage. mind drama, mind confliets.

I remember I was in my own way heck a lot.

Having too much drama, doubt and fear every time I posted,

I was taking too much time writing one blog post and wasn’t really able to keep a consistent schedule

all the little things from coming up with ideas, searching, executing were painful not because I hated what I talked about but

because I wasn’t seeing anything I do as good enough, I was seeing it as not rubbish.

I was looking at people I admire and comparing myself to them and ohh boy how that made me feel like shit

Subconsciously, when you compare yourself you find fault in what you do and shame yourself for it

It was hard facing the feelings of shame, inadequacy and seeing yourself as less than others.

That opened the gate sabotage (procrastination, overthinking…) wide open

I porcrastinated on creating content, overthought what to write and was overthinking how to show up online

Meanwhile, I was learning a lot about marketing, personal development, business.

I was doing so in hope of finding a solution, something that can help me succeed

This learning was helpful since I didn’t know about it.

Also, It was helpful to keep me positive and do something in my life but not enough.

However,

I was still in my own way, feeling frustrated day in and out.

Waiting for fear, doubt and all the awful feelings to disappear.

I kid you not that I was thinking that one day they’ll be gone forever if I did mindset works

but we both know how that isn’t true.

can I do it?

was I cut out to do this?

who would want anything I offer?

Entrepreneurship isn’t easy. it’s hard work that from the outside seems glamorous when you look online.

It is easy to get in your own way in it since it requires you to be someone different,

someone you have never been before. support yourself, depend on you, believe in you

consuming more personal development podcasts, watching youtube..etc wasn’t helping.

I was getting conflicting information, trying to piece things on my own feeling overwhelmed and confused as a result

I was still stuck,

I was not seeing any growth.

I had to do something but I didn’t know what

I was scattered

I was afraid & doubtful

I had enough of being in my own way.

That’s why

I’ll do whatever it takes to stop sabotaging myself and build my business hat’s why when the perfect solution showed up I took the chance and bit on me

I invested in the course, then a group coaching then a coach that helped me get out of my own way,

feel confident, become my best self and learn the basics of marketing

& business that apply to anything digitally

I committed to doing the work, showing up,

Focusing and overcoming the limiting beliefs & thoughts that are

programmed in my mind,

Taking action with courage despite of fear and doubt.

It was an opportunity to do the work deeper instead of consuming knowledge without seeing change in my life

With just focusing on one program, doing the work,

I managed to progress, get out of my own way to a level I wasn’t able to do

while I was scattered. listening to this & that and getting myself confused and overwhelmed to no end.

Focus can get to a different place in a short time unlike the opposite

I managed to:(results)

1-connect with other human being and network confidently

2-show up on SM specifically IG which helped me to gain over 100 followers

3-putting myself out there and specifically started to show up on video

4-started coaching others for free desote my fear

5-know what really matter and do it

That’s why focusing, understanding yourself, truly doing the mindset work with help

And taking action on what you learned is a great way

To help you stop sabotaging and get out of your own way

We all fall into self-sabotage.

There’s nothing wrong with you if you do that.

But there’s a way out how to stop sabotaging yourself here and get out of your own way

to your success
