Self-sabotage & self-doubt are really sneaky.

You might not realise you’re engaging in these behaviours.

But their effect is substantial.

if you find yourself avoiding a task because deep down you fear failure & aren’t actually sure if you can pull it off, that’s self-sabotage.

if you’re endlessly tweaking your website because you’re afraid it’s not good enough, you’re self-sabotaging.

Trying to uncover the root cause & real reason you’re procrastinating, sabotaging yourself or riddled with doubt can be a challenge, but it’s well worth taking time to start to peel away the layers.

To make a conscious decision to start making an effort to change your unconscious actions.

Use positive affirmations to counter negative self-talk.

Remind yourself of your achievements and capabilities regularly (keep an “achievements folder” of positive feedback from clients & friend and revisit it when your doubts arise.)

Break down your tasks into manageable pieces to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Celebrate each and every small win to start to build momentum.

Recognize that done is better than perfect.

Accept that you ARE worthy of the success you’re working towards.

The price that someone is willing to pay for your product/services is NOT based on your experience or how often you talk about them.

Most buyers decide how “worth it” something is in seconds, based on the cues you’re giving off.

Your visuals, your words, your tone, your positioning.

Do you feel established? Clear? Like the obvious choice?

Or do you feel like a risk?

If your content & branding feel all over the place, people assume the results might be too.

And then your price starts feeling “high” even when your offer is solid.

If your goal is to charge more, don’t start by upgrading your package.

Start upgrading how your business shows up.

In case the current state of it isn’t proof enough, the world isn’t run by geniuses.

They aren’t special.

They’re not operating with some magical level of certainty the rest of us don’t have.

They’re just slightly delusional about what’s possible for them… and stubborn enough to keep acting on it.

They’ll try things before they’re “ready,” adjust in real time, and keep an unhinged level of faith that it’ll come together.

Because they’ll make it come together.

They’re just regular people doing regular-people things with an intensely high level of self-trust.

You can call it audacity. You can call it delusion.

But you can’t say it doesn’t work.

If you’ve been waiting to become the kind of person who believes in themselves, try the opposite.

Believe first.

Become second.

Building a business will reveal & push on every insecurity you have, whether you like it or not.

It’ll test your patience, continually force you to face your fears.

Make you realize just how much of a tolerance you have for doing a lot and getting very little back for a while.

Because those tough times are far from motivational.

They’re stressful & annoying & sometimes embarrassing, chock full of the kind of pressure that exposes everything.

But also toughens everything.

You don’t always come out of it feeling inspired (more like a bit insane), but you sure as hell come out more capable.

What you choose to act on now determines what you’re even capable of seeing later.

Yes, thinking & strategizing can help you prepare & clarify your direction.

But purely planning without acting keeps everything theoretical.

There’s no point in waiting for when your doubt disappears.

It never fully will on it’s own.

Because life itself is unpredictable, you can never really know what’s going to happen.

The only thing you can know for certain is that you have what it takes to handle it.

But the experience that allows you to do so doesn’t come from preparing longer.

It comes from engaging sooner.
