Lots of people say don’t give up, or hang in there! But who actually talks about how not to give up? That’s the part that isn’t as easy to speak to for some, and hey I get it.
I am an expert at not giving up. From being on my own at a young age, working my way up to a high level corporate position as a female without a college degree in what was still very much a “good ol’ boys club” in many ways, then leaving all of that behind to start my own business and help others as an Intuitive Transformational Coach.
Anything is possible. Anything. As much noise as there is in the world about gender, age, ethnicity, education, background, or who you know, none of that really matters at the end of the day. Achieving your dreams comes down to only one thing.
You.
Your belief in yourself. Your trust in yourself. Your love for yourself, and your faith.
Most of us out there (me most definitely) have gone through what feels like some very dark times. Rock bottom. Feeling despair. Feeling like you’ve tried everything. Wondering what the point is of even trying anymore.
This is a big reason why so many small businesses fail out of the gate, and so many people are unhappy in their jobs. It’s because they quit before the finish line. Just because something isn’t happening according to a certain timeline or under certain circumstances doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen. Based on my own experience and that of many clients I’ve worked with, I can tell you that if you’re not getting what you want there is a specific reason why and it’s not what you may think.
If you’re in that space where you want to give up, consider these scenarios first in relation to your situation. Chances are there is an opportunity for you to make some changes in at least one or more of these scenarios of how not to give up, which means persevere and your time WILL come, my friend!
Set clear intentions.
If you’re an entrepreneur, who is your ideal client? If you’re searching for a job what does that perfect job look like? If you cast your net too wide, then you’ll likely not receive what it is you want. When you get specific about your goals and desires, then The Universe can get specific about bringing you your desires. Connecting with clients you know you’re not meant to serve or applying for positions just because they’re open and you’re qualified isn’t going to bring you what you want. Focus your energy.
Avoid the comparison trap.
Everyone is on their own path. There is no set time that you’re supposed to be in a certain place in your business, or that it’s supposed to take to find a new job. Stop comparing yourself to others because you’re not them. Focus on you.
Believe in yourself.
If you ask for something but you secretly believe you can’t have it or you don’t deserve it, then how can you receive it? If you feel unworthy and/or you’re in a negative space, you’re blocking the very thing you want to receive.
Be in alignment with what you want.
This may seem like a no-brainer, right? Don’t be fooled! So many people look for jobs based on their experience more than what they really want to do. Same thing with business some people follow the $ more than what they’re really passionate about building. Do you have your business or job because that’s what you’re really passionate about? Be honest.
Surrender.
I’ve saved the best for last. This is a biggie. When you ask for something, you have to be open to all the ways it can come to you. Many people are brought up in a society conditioned to believe that things can only happen a certain way under certain circumstances which is a limiting belief. Those limiting beliefs will block you from receiving what you want. There are tons of limiting beliefs, too many to mention here. Some big ones are age, money, education, or that it has to happen in a certain amount of time or it’s not going to happen.
What got you to where you are now isn’t going to get you to where you want to be.
Different actions = different results.
