Your game
First of all, this is your reminder to focus on you and yourself. Win your own game. Especially during Q4, impressive results are shared in communities and on social media. Inspiring! But also… confronting. The good news is: if it feels like you're not moving fast enough, there are countless entrepreneurs who can give you a handshake . That's a nice thought. But hey..
Stop looking at others so much . Focus on yourself. Social media is not sacred, and whether it's about people with huge revenues or people with minimal revenues: you almost never know the whole story . The only story you know inside out and have control over is your own story. Use the Boloo community to ask questions and help others where you can. But stop using social media as a comparison site. You don't need that kind of energy in your life!
Inspiration > demotivation
Do you know that? Those stories that successful entrepreneurs post to 'inspire you' can sometimes feel like a painful reminder that you're not there yet? Man up! Your game. Your way. You know that your mindset is important in the world of entrepreneurship. Get inspired, not demotivated. If the latter takes over, stop reading success stories. There will come a day when you'll find that these stories inspire you positively again. Or maybe you'll write them yourself!
Keep your energy high
The holiday months are busy. And the pressure is high. Pressure, pressure, pressure. Not just in business. The chance is high that time with family and friends will play a slightly larger role than in the rest of the year. Be aware of this and set your energy level to #1 as often as possible. Get your sleep, read your book, stay active, and eat your veggies. Only with an optimal energy level can you push boundaries.
Crossing those boundaries isn't just about working hard. The biggest difference is made by the frequency you're in. If you're high in energy, the chance of uncertainties, setbacks, and other negative emotions taking over is much smaller. In a period when your business can peak hard, but also when it might feel like it's not moving fast enough, you want to keep your frequency high.
High energy > high frequency > better resilience = greater chance to bounce back and still have a blast at the end of the year.
Connect for impact
Ask. Your. Questions. And. Help. Others. Social media is a curse and a blessing at the same time. Let it be a blessing for you. Don't miss opportunities in the last quarter of this year by putting off your questions. And don't let others miss opportunities in the last quarter of this year - answer their questions! The power of connections is incredibly large when you use it to your advantage. Connect & make an impact!
Finally…
A lot is happening in the world. Who knows what the future has in store for us. Don't hide behind the external circumstances you're in. Let the circumstances work in your favor! Entrepreneurship is not a profession where you're handheld. Entrepreneurship requires your creativity, discipline, and resilience. Show that! Whether your business is in the growth phase or already flourishing. Stay on top of your game.
Every phase brings its own set of challenges. That's true for everything in life. From the toddler phase to the teenage years, from building your business to outsourcing work, and from the relatively quiet summer months to the busy winter months. There's always a challenge. And that means... there are always, freaking everywhere, opportunities. ⭐
Focus on your own game, use social media to get inspired and help others, stay high on energy, take good care of yourself, make connections, and show resilience! Whatever happens during Q4: 💥 YOU GOT THIS! 💥
