I can’t even fathom relying on someone for financial stability….
Summary
- When I started in fitness as a personal trainer, some clients suggested using dates as a way to have others take care of me.
- The idea of relying on someone else for support felt uncomfortable and foreign to me.
- I was not programmed with the mindset of someone else taking care of me, and this idea genuinely terrifies me.
- Hard work and self-reliance are values deeply ingrained in me, and I encourage maintaining these values rather than seeking dependency.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a mindset of self-reliance and hard work. Start by identifying small tasks that you can tackle yourself rather than relying on others. This could mean setting personal goals or taking on new responsibilities at work.
A good way of doing this is by creating a daily routine that prioritizes self-discipline and personal growth. Maybe dedicate an hour each day to learning a new skill or improving on something you enjoy. For those interested in personal growth, find resources that emphasize self-improvement and resilience.
You can also start by setting clear, achievable goals for your business or personal life. Write these down and track your progress. This helps reinforce self-reliance as you see the fruits of your hard work unfold.
Additionally, seek out communities or groups with similar values. Engage with others who emphasize hard work and independence, as this encouragement can help keep you motivated.
For entrepreneurs, embracing these values means leading by example. Show your team the importance of self-reliance through your actions and decisions. Model the work ethic you wish to see in your business.
Overall, focus on fortifying your inner drive and independence by making small, consistent efforts every day. This approach will not only build confidence but also align with your values of hard work and self-reliance.
