Press Play!
Today, I’m taking the mic for a Solo Episode.
If I’m being brutally honest, when I first started my Online Business I had no idea what I was doing.
I had a desire to help my peers find their True Calling and Find Freedom from the “Corporate 9-5 Life”, but I didn't know what that would look like.
Over the years, I’ve put together a plethora of resources for aspiring and early stage Online Business Owners and to date our courses have helped 100’s of individuals to generate their first $50,000 in revenue.
All in all, it’s been a journey full of growth and much success.
However, there’s also been many days (or weeks) where I’ve experienced what some entrepreneurs call “the dip”.
I would define "The Dip” as those bouts of time when you feel like everything is falling apart.
You might fee like…
-
Nothing is working in your favour
-
Nobody is paying attention to your messaging
-
The world is working against you
(just to name a few)
The truth is, nothing can quite prepare you for these Dips and they are in your life for a reason. The dips make you stronger, wiser & better in all aspects of your life and your business.
It’s important to acknowledge that there will be peaks, and there will be valley's (aka There will be High Highs and Low Lows). But I promise you that all of it happens to make you a better business owner and a more resilient human being.
In this weeks episode, I’m pulling the curtains back on some of “the dips” or “valley’s” that I’ve pushed through, in order to find some peaks in my entrepreneurial journey.
Show Notes…
I feel like my journey over the past 5 years can be accurately represented with this meme…
Sure, on Social Media things may look glamorous. But I assure you, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes that I don’t talk about.
Through it all, there is one thing I have realized…
The peaks & valleys shape who you are and how you pursue your business!
It’s in the highest of highs and lowest of lows that we learn what we’re made of and who we are at our core.
I believe I’ve gone through the valley’s so that I could learn hard life lessons, build thick skin + resilience, and to become more empathetic for my clients who I get to work with.
In fact, I think the only reason I have a successful client focused business today is because I truly do “get it” when I hear what my clients are going through. I’ve been there!
In fact, some of the greatest wisdom comes from our wounds.
Or, said differently, your wound is often your gift.
Here are 5 stories from my past (the dips, the wounds, the valley’s… whatever you want to call them!) that have shaped me into the person I am today…
-
Being let go from 2 dream jobs in my 20’s
-
Feeling like a jack of all trades and master of none
-
Receiving mean comments on the internet from people that I barely know
-
Feeling like nobody is listening or nobody cares
-
Facing the loneliness of being on this journey
