The more I follow what I want to actually do, the more I realise rejection is an inevitable part of the experience

That’s the thing, even after 5/6 years of entrepreneurship/ authorship, the voice in my head saying I’m not good enough, that things won’t work, that I’ll be rejected hasn’t gone away

And I’m only sharing from my experience, so this might not be valid for you, and if you need personalised support around this, please seek out a trusted therapist

But for me, and for the day to day moments when I hear that voice, I acknowledge it, I don’t try to affirmation my way out of the feelings it brings up, I validate it by looking at the truth

That yes, sometimes, with whatever you decide to do with your life, you will experience rejection, you will not feel good enough for someone or even yourself

But there’s also a voice that says, this is what feels true for me, this is what I want to create and diluting that for approval, won’t solve the challenge of these thoughts / experiences

For me, the best thing is to continue to double down on what feels true, what I actually want to do whilst at the same time, accepting it won’t always work and that there will be times I feel rejected / not good enough / upset etc.

I’m not saying this is easy at all (especially when you’re in the reality of RSD 🤣) but I’ve found it’s still worth it because you’re giving your dreams / desires a chance in the world, and that’s a seriously brave thing to do

The best advice I can give, is to find people you love and trust to hype you up and focus on their feedback when you’re in the thick of those thoughts / feelings

Learning to practice to look at how I’m doing things in a different light

Shifting from saying “am I ready?” to “am I prepared enough to take that first small step?”

That’s the thing with perfectionism, it convinces you that everything needs to be aligned and ready (which is virtually impossible) before you do anything, especially the things that you really want and typically feel scarier

Yes, there’s certain things you may need before beginning but the majority you’ll learn and acquire simply by showing up to it, even if that’s in the smallest of ways

The most important thing for me in business has been about learning to listen to what my intuition is really guiding me towards

Sometimes, something can feel like a yes, but still be uncomfortable and that’s when we need to think about what we need to support us through the process to say yes to those opportunities

Other times, it can feel like a no even though it seems amazing or exciting, then we need learn to be okay with saying no to those timelines in favour of what’s truly right for us

We don’t have an unlimited capacity to do everything, so having a better understanding of our inner dialogue, helps us to make choices that are more representative of what we truly need and want

I recorded a reel the other day about feeling safe in business and how to do uncomfortable things, feeling safe first was something I’d realised was very important to me

And whilst safety is an emotional thing, there’s also a lot of practical things you can do in business to help you feel that sense of safety. As I mentioned in the post (which has a lot more info), the below are the specific people / companies I work with (when I’ve got their names available) and are relevant to my specific situation. I’m also speaking from certain privileges, so these may not be accessible to everyone

1. Setting up international income protection - William Russell International Income Protection

2. Purchasing Professional Indemnity Business for Digital Professions - Exali.com

3. Investing / Financial Knowledge -

4. High Yield Savings - if you’re Uk based an ISA is the better option here / investing platform

5. Legal support for contract reviews

6. Accountancy / cross-border tax advisors - this is very specific to the country you pay taxes is and where you plan to work abroad if remotely

7. Lowering my overheads / expensing - there’s so many tools out there to help with this. Start with Claude, google, YT, podcast videos etc. also have some great resources

I’m still learning so if you have any ideas / suggestions, please let me know in the comments😊!

Discomfort is not the only environment where you grow

That’s why for me, some of the worse advise I’ve received is “just go for it, get out of your comfort zone”

Especially pre-neurodivergent diagnosis when my mind would take everything far too literally. You should honestly see some of the situations I put myself in 🤣🤣

Now I’ve learnt that discomfort is a much more powerful instigator of change when we have a sense of safety in who we are / where we are

Especially when we’re already navigating big decisions and circumstances in our lives

Now, this might not always be possible for everyone but if you have the choice, my advice from my experiences is to practice finding a sense of safety first (whatever that means for you) before taking that uncomfortable leap

It might make it a little easier if things don’t go as planned

The Oxford dictionary defines loneliness as “a feeling of being unhappy because you have no friends or people to talk to”

To me, loneliness has always felt a bit deeper than this. It’s something I’ve felt not because I wasn’t surrounded by people

But because I was trying to be someone else with the people around me

(I still do this btw)

This post helped me process what loneliness has looked like for me and what has amplified it

And whilst I do think we genuinely need to hide / mask for safety sometimes

When it costs our sense of who we are, and how we want to experience the world, we’ll often find ourselves feeling more lonely in a world we didn’t realise we’d created

But even in the most acceptable, successful world, you’ll always experience pain, judgement, heartbreak as much as the joy

So I’ve found that trying to be someone else to avoid these experiences, has been the thing that’s actually resulted in this sense of loneliness

Now, I’d much rather just sit and cry with you

I want to firstly acknowledge that not all of us genuinely feel safe enough / or have the resources or circumstances to be ourselves in the world yet, and that’s completely okay

But for those of you that do have that safety, I wanted this video to remind you (something that I forgot for a long time)

Don’t let the success of others, be what leads you to diluting your own unique way of doing things, becase honestly that’s going to take you further (even if it doesn’t seem like it at first) than a toned down copy of someone else’s personality / framework / strategy - you name it

I’ve often been told, why are you doing what you’re doing right now, it’s not going to move the needle forward

And whilst this has been true in some cases, and I’ve needed this advice to reflect on the type of action I’m taking

I’ve also found that it’s been a huge hindrance in my progress, especially as a neurodivergent business owner where if I don’t see results straight away, I’m in a sea of RSD and judging myself

A new reframe for me has been about asking if what I’m doing holds value, meaning to me specifically without that necessarily showing any immediate results

Having navigated many chosen changes in my life, like residency applications to live in different countries, entrepreneurship etc. I’ve learnt that even our biggest dreams, aren’t the most comfortable processes

I use these 2 questions to help me determine if I’m heading towards something I really want, and therefore the discomfort is worth it

Or if I’m actually realising that because of this discomfort and the way I’m responding to it, it’s actually not

I used to not show up in anything vulnerable because I knew vulnerability might mean failure / rejection

But the more I went down the path of entrepreneurship, the more I realised I couldn’t avoid rejection or failure

Putting myself out there, meant this happening was (unfortunately) inevitable

But these slight perception shifts helped me to look at in a different way that helped me to continually show up without making the failures or rejection just completely stop me
