Do you ever feel like you’re not doing enough in your business?
- “I should be further along by now”
- “Why is this taking so long?”
- “Why is she doing better than I am? What’s up with me?”
If these sound familiar, you’re not alone.
Every entrepreneur worries that we’re not doing enough sometimes. Our brains run wild with thoughts, and approximately 80% of our thoughts are negative. It’s just part of being alive.
The topic of not doing enough came up in The Club recently and one of our members shared the best advice I’ve ever heard.
“You will never be doing enough because enough is not a thing you can really define. What is enough? You might want to try to find a way to be with that feeling.”
Find a way to be with that feeling. I just love the honesty of that.
Not push it away, not talk your way out of it. Just BE with the feeling and know you’re not crazy, you’re just an entrepreneur.
And then she went on to say, “I have a lot of decision fatigue right now. And even just writing this comment to help you is actually helping me.”
How fantastic! I love our Club community.
