In this episode, we're going to talk about 5 steps to manage common feelings of inadequacy among entrepreneurs and how to stop feeling like a “loser”.
I have felt like a loser so many times in the 14 years I've been an entrepreneur. I have experienced various embarrassing or devastating entrepreneurial moments: overnight traffic loss, burnout, not getting as much traction as other bloggers, getting booted from a major blogging Facebook group, you name it. So how have I dealt with these situations and pulled myself through? Here are 5 steps I take when faced with feeling like an entrepreneurial loser.
Action Plan:
1 - It's not personal: Understand that setbacks in your business are not a reflection of your worth as an entrepreneur, but rather a normal part of the journey.
2 -Take responsibility: Identify what you could have done differently and use that knowledge to improve your future actions, rather than blaming external factors.
3 -Connect with peers: Surround yourself with a trusted circle of fellow entrepreneurs who can provide support and advice during difficult times.
4 -Celebrate accomplishments: Make a regular habit of listing your achievements, no matter how small, to maintain a positive mindset.
5 -Keep moving forward: Expect setbacks, but continue taking small, consistent steps towards your goals and dreams, as your response to challenges determines your success.
