How To Take Action
I would suggest rethinking how you see problems when they pop up. It's like playing a video game and hitting a tough level – you don't quit, you figure out how to beat it. Think of this as your adventure. When things get tough, getting past them will lead you to your prize – whether that’s a new skill, more customers, or something else great.
Remember, when you’re starting out and find yourself facing a wall, don’t think it means to stop. All it means is that it's a bit of a puzzle you need to solve. It's not a red light; it’s just a hurdle to jump over.
So, how do you make your hard times play in your favor? Here’s the trick. When you hit a roadblock, take a moment and remind yourself that you’re not the only one with this problem, but you can be the one who beats it. Picture your challenges as a race. If you get past the hard part, you're actually ahead of others because they might be giving up.
I like to think about how each problem I beat gets me closer to my goal – I call that the 'treasure.' You know, when you’ve worked hard, and you finally get that 'yes' from a customer or you nail that project, that’s the treasure! Celebrate every small win because they're steps towards your bigger success.
So, challenge yourself to look at tough times differently. Smile at them, and get excited. Because every time you tackle a problem, and conquer it, you’re one step closer to your goal. Keep on going, and take joy in each victory!
