I’ve travelled solo a number of times, relocated to new cities, and even
left my family, friends and partner behind to study in France for a year back
in 2002. And despite flood of tears and pangs of intense loneliness at times,
I’ve had some amazing experiences and met some awesome people along the way.
I’ve already road tested some of my capabilities and know some of my limits – both
physically and mentally.
But I’ve never run my own business, I don’t know what I’m capable of, or
at works for me, how good I would be at winning new clients, or at charging
them for the work I do. I’m no stranger to being out of my comfort zone but do
I have the guts, perseverance, self belief, determination and bundles of energy
required to become an entrepreneur? Can I create innovative products and
services that make an impact and help others?
Apparently step 1 to answering yes to these questions is to create a
freedom based mindset by visualising my dream lifestyle. Not only can I see it I
can feel it, smell it, taste it, hear it. I feel a calmness, peaceful relaxing
surroundings, listening to waves lapping on the shore, and a gentle breeze rustle
the leaves of palm trees, I feel the gentle rays of sun on my skin, smell the
sultry smells of coconut, salty air and wet sand. I can totally see myself
armed only with my laptop and internet connection free to choose where I want
to work from next.
So that’s great, but now how do
I stop procrastinating and overcome my fears and self doubt in order to realise
that lifestyle?
How about some positive
affirmations:
These make me feel more confident in my
capabilities, and in answering the Day 2 Blog Challenge Question “If you woke up tomorrow and were free to do anything you wanted with your life, what would you do and who would you be?” I discover that the old me definitely had
the guts, passion and perseverance to make her dreams come true.
