Costly Mistake #5: Acting from a place of self-doubt, fear or desperation

These are all emotions that people experience from time to time when growing a business. There is nothing wrong with feeling these from time to time; the key is to shift out of them as quickly as possible.

You are probably familiar with the old adage "feel the fear and do it anyway." It certainly has some merit. But if you are acting from a place of fear, your energy is low. The same is true for self-doubt, desperation, anger, etc.

And law of attraction says what you focus your energy on is what you get more of. So rather than bulldozing your way through the fear or other "negative" emotions, allow yourself to feel them and then see what you can do to shift out of them.

Accepting your emotions is already a higher vibration. So that is a good start. And sometimes just feeling them allows you to move through them.

But sometimes it takes more than that. I have a whole toolbox of tools to help myself and my clients release anxieties and negative emotions. These are things that I have learned over time and am always learning more.

If you doubt yourself and your abilities you are looking at all the reasons why you cannot do something. If you are feeling fear, you are probably imagining all the worst-case scenarios. In both cases, you are focusing your thoughts and therefore your emotions in the wrong place. Try listing all the reasons why you can do something and all the best-case scenarios. Allow yourself to be playful with this and let your imagination soar. Do it because it feels good. When you feel good, you are no longer acting from doubt or fear and will be more effective in attracting clients.

And by all means, get support to help you shift. Sometimes we can do it by ourselves, but other times we need someone to help us see what is really possible for us.
