I bet you started your business to make a profit, right? Or maybe to make a difference or create a lifestyle. But did you go into business to grow yourself? Were you sitting around a job one day saying, “Hey…I think I’ll take on one of the biggest personal growth transformation experiences there is…I’ll start a business!” More than likely you probably never had that conversation with yourself. And if you are like most of us, by now you have bumped into more than your fair share of the ‘stuff’ or what I call mindset traps.

In my last newsletter I covered the Five Mindset Traps of an Entrepreneur. You can click on the following links to refresh your memory of those posts:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.  That will give you an overview of what they look like and what the cost is.

In this series of blog posts, I’m going to share some strategies to break free of these pesky little patterns that can be standing between you and your success.

The Five Traps are:
• I have to do it all myself
• People won’t pay higher fees
• Everyone already knows this
• It needs to be perfect
• I don’t have enough _______

Ok, and as a reminder – if you see yourself in some of these traps, be gentle. No judgment, no shame….just awareness and action. So as you read this stuff, the best thing to do is to commit to doing something different. Sort of like that old Seinfeld show where George did “Opposite Day.” ?

With that bit of context, I’m excited to dive into strategies that will address Trap #1 in my next blog post. Definitely keep an eye out because these are simple things you can do that will have an immediate impact on your happiness and bottom line.

Blessings,
