I was the salad bar girl at a Subway shop in Montreal.
I am really a serial entrepreneur; I owned a company and found that a higher degree of emotional resilience is the determinant in success. This is what led me to coaching.
We all know that life experiences knock us down sometimes. Those who can get back up will have a higher level of success than others.
Yes, failure is important to success. Failure helps you get better, sharper, and tougher. You have to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
We ask our coaching clients to journal in an online journal that goes to a coach for a response. This allows the client to write down the story about their failure. We want to teach people to reinterpret the events that lead to failure.
We want to see how their thinking affects their outcomes and see where the self-limiting beliefs impact them. We are looking at how you respond to what happens to you.
One exercise is to write down, in paragraph form, your answers to the following questions:
What do I really, really want?
Why don’t I currently have what I really, really want?
After writing these down, challenge every reason you’ve listed; this tells you where your thinking isn’t aligned with your goals.
Absolutely! When the negative occurs, we shut down and close in. We teach clients to examine the negative and use those experiences as a contrast to gain clarity on what they really want instead.
We all experience some form of self-doubt, even the most successful people. People with a high degree of emotional resilience recognize the self-doubt, but don’t allow it to paralyze them. A mindset shift takes place. It’s about understanding the risk and mitigating it.
Many entrepreneurs are doing too many things! Identify and focus on core strengths. Work hard to eliminate and outsource the rest. Start to believe that you can find the resources you need.
I have two tips: Try things out before going full-fledged. Take care of the way you think.
