I don’t know any first time entrepreneur that can truly tell you that they were “ready”. They just did the thing and figured it out as they went along their path.
Saying yes to yourself could be the best decision you make. Belief in yourself, take the risk & trust in your resilience.
This year marks 12 years in my business and without a doubt, it’s been the year of the most change. I’ve never felt so outside of my comfort zone in my business, and sure with that comes some “uncertainty” but just like when I started this business over a decade ago, I bet on myself then and I did again this year.
When we bet on ourselves, we’re showing self-confidence and a belief in our own abilities, decisions, and potential for success. We believe that we have the necessary skills (or at the very least, that we can acquire them) to do the risky thing.
Be relentless in your pursuit of what sets your soul on fire 🔥
