The Stories We Tell Ourselves - A Heartfelt Message to Entrepreneurs Out There

Your friends and family say you've come a long way and admire your success. You are definitely not in the same place you were when you started your business, but the thing is, your mind is telling you otherwise, you are still not where you thought you would be right now. Take a moment to reflect on the story you tell yourself about your business.

The imaginary timeline you are trying to stick to (for whatever reason you may have), may be affecting your progress. In your head, you've set up in advance how things should unfold. And this could even be affecting your mental health.

Your entrepreneurship story

This story is very important, and it is unique to you. What story are you telling yourself? What does that timeline look like to you? And the most important question, WHO CREATED IT?

Did you design this timeline yourself? Or did you adopt it from someone else, someone you admire and follow? Could it be related to your family's expectations?

Take a moment to reflect on these questions.

The stories you tell yourself should serve as motivation. Make sure your timeline and goals are aligned with your well-being. Is your story moving you toward a specific number, place, or emotion? Question its authenticity.

Rewrite your story

Reflect today, rewrite your story, edit the timeline. Allow yourself to look back and celebrate how far you have come.

Be honest with yourself: What are your dreams? Which ones did you choose along the way because they were expected of you?

I'd love to hear your story and help you rewrite it. Let's connect.
