Misconceptions about Success

One of the most common misconceptions in business or life is that people who are successful have it all figured out.

Friends, let me tell you – that is SO far from the truth. None of us have everything figured out.

If most days, you feel like a hot mess stumbling your way through …this mindset drop is for you.

3 THOUGHTS:

It’s okay if you don’t have it all figured out.

I was at a conference and there was a successful person on stage and she was going to build a $100M company and people asked, “How are you going to do it?”. You know what her answer was? “I don’t know, I’m figuring it out. I’ll tell you when I get there.”

If you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing – join the club! We’re all just figuring it out.

  The only way to figure it out is to take action.

NOT taking that first step, NOT asking people who are where you want to be already for tips or advice. NOT making a decision to just got for it, NOT giving a dang “I don’t know what I’m doing.” You can’t learn and improve your skills if you never practice. Done is better than perfect, always. 

Be conscious of your intentions behind putting yourself out there.

If you’re struggling with perfectionism, telling yourself “I’m going to the gym to lose weight is going to add to the pressure of “getting it right” and keep you stuck.

Shift your mindset to “I’m going to the gym for health and longevity" and that will set you free.

2 Things to ponder:

  “Most learning, especially most organizational learning, occurs through trial and error. Error occurs whether you want it to or not. Error is difficult to avoid…

Trial, on the other hand, is quite scarce, especially in some organizations. People mistakenly believe that one way to successfully avoid error is to avoid trial. We need more trial.” – Seth Godin
