Step Back and Assess
Lately I've been receiving tons of emails offering me the next best way market my business and myself. Sometimes I'll spend time reading an email longer than I know I should - it grabbed me, sucked me in and before I know it, I'm contemplating yet another way to grow my business.
In those moments, I literally have to say to myself, "Stay the course,
Linda. Don't get off track or you'll never reach your dream." And when I do step back long enough to remind myself what my dream is and that all important why, I realize that 99.9% of the stuff that shows up is meaningless for me.
Oh sure, there are times when I feel like I'm missing an opportunity that could really make the difference and propel me forward, but I learned long ago, that's just not true. It's simply my Gremlin doing her thing and having me operate from a place of fear, not trust. Trust in myself, trust in my journey, trust in my process and trust in my dream.
I can't stress enough the importance of staying true to yourself at all costs. Not just with business decisions, but in all aspects of your life. It's so easy to get caught up in the moment and jump on the bandwagon. Especially when others around you are doing so or telling you why you're about to miss the opportunity of a lifetime - personally or professionally.
One of the hardest things in life is to stand your ground and not follow the crowd or do what someone else thinks you should do. What's right for someone else is not necessarily right for you. And when you go against your gut, the results are usually less than stellar. It requires trust in your higher self, confidence and your willingness to have the patience to wait for a calm feeling and a gentle voice that says, "Yes, this is the time." "Yes, this is the right choice for me."
