Ladies, we simply don’t celebrate ourselves enough. It’s about time we change that!
As a business owner, you work hard and wear a lot of hats. I don’t say that to stress you out, I say that because you should recognize how amazing that is.
That’s the first mindset shift I want to talk about: getting rid of the notion that you can only celebrate big, tangible milestones. You might think you have to have concrete evidence before you’re “allowed” to celebrate. Girl, you don’t need permission!
Celebrate yourself. Celebrate your personal and professional growth. In 2021, you might’ve broken through a limiting belief that was holding back your business. Even if you haven’t yet seen results from that mindset shift, you should still be proud that you’ve stopped limiting yourself.
When I mentioned wearing a lot of hats, did it raise your stress levels? That’s an important step towards another mindset shift I want to mention. Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs start with the smallest realizations. I had a client who was completely overwhelmed but she didn’t want to admit it. Under all that stress, it’s hard to even acknowledge you have a problem because that can lead to even more stress trying to solve it. It wasn’t easy but acknowledging her feelings of overwhelm and recognizing that it meant she needed to rest were two huge steps in the right direction.
I myself had to make a mindset shift this year when I came to the conclusion that I could use some extra help. As a long time independent entrepreneur, I disregarded the idea that I couldn’t continue to work alone. Yet, it started to feel like I was doing less and less of what I set out to do and more and more work that’s better suited to someone else. I shifted from believing that I didn’t need any help to discovering the relief that comes from hiring staff.
I hope you’re able to walk away from 2021 with less limiting beliefs and more empowerment. You got this, lady boss!
