If you've followed me for any length of time (or read last week's email), you know I don't do resolutions.
To read more about why resolutions suck and what I recommend instead, read this article.
But I DO recommend that you commit to giving up certain unhealthy habits. No, I don't mean smoking or eating dessert.
I mean things that hurt your soul - that keep you from showing up in your life and business as your most authentic, Radiant Self.
Things like bitterness. Being a martyr. Shame. Hating on your self.
Each year, I add a few more things to this list: Perfectionism. Unhealthy comparisons.
Sure, we faced TONS of challenges in 2020, both personally and professionally. And you know that MY core genius is helping you deal with the personal challenges - the inner struggles - that affect your business.
The entrepreneurs I talked to said one of the things they struggle with the most (in ANY year) is the pressure to live up to the expectations of other people.
The judgment. The criticism. The "you-shoulds."
Whether it's a family member who tells you to "get a real job" or the gurus who tell you you've gotta push for a 7-figure business to be a "real success" or the people who (subtly or overtly) tell you it's not OK to be yourself...
These expectations wear on your soul. They bring you down. Dim your light. Keep you playing small. Make you hide and pretend to be someone you're not. All the overused cliches you hear. It's true.
So the #1 thing to give up this year is the expectations of other people.
After all, the first 2 letter in "business" are Be YOU.
So be you.
Do YOUR thing. YOUR way.
Don't wanna sell high ticket programs? Then don't.
Prefer to email your tribe rather than go live on Facebook? Send the emails.
Want to express your creativity by changing your hair color every week? Color away, my friend!.
Be open and willing to stretch your comfort zone. Try new things (you just might LOVE them!). But ultimately, you have to decide what works for you.
There's no point doing things how "they" say if it makes you miserable. Burned out. Stressed out of your gourd.
So what expectations are YOU giving up this year? How will you express your authentic, Radiant Self in your life and business?
