Those self-critical little voices in your head that talk you out of doing anything new or exciting? I call them mind monkeys 🐒.
They typically tell you all the reasons why your idea won’t work. They tap into your deepest fears and worries and throw them back at you, right when you don’t need them. They say things like:
“This is too techie for you”
“Nobody will pay that much”
“Who do you think you are? People will think you’re too big for your boots!”
“You’re too old/ stupid / fat / insert other thing you worry about”
“You’re too salesy, people will think you’re desperate”
Sound familiar? We all get them.
Do you know how to get rid of them?
Do the thing anyway.
Do it, even though you’re worried about all those mind-monkey comments. Do it, regardless.
What’s the worst that can happen? It doesn’t work this time? Try it another day. Someone made a snarky comment? Block them, you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. You get it wrong? Everyone’s a beginner when they do something for the first time.
The more you ignore them and do it anyway, the less scary the thing becomes and the more you and your business grow.
Love, Claire xx
