A few months into my journey I realised my biggest mistake stepping into the online affiliate world (& creating my first ever biz) has been rushing - and it's been a great lesson!
And I guess as long as a mistake is learnt from, there's benefit π€·ββοΈ
I was doing things in a hurry or with only few minutes at a time - and then spent extra time re-doing it - sometimes multiple times - sometimes over a dozen times π€― (& not in a calm, new idea kind of way - but in a desperate, slap-happy, rushing way)
It was exhausting and no fun at all - the exact opposite of why I'm doing this!
The launch course is so clear and structured yet I started taking action on things before I'd watched the modules or quickly skimming the how-to and then missing key points; I rushed and was panicked because it was so different to my normal life - I was determined (& felt desperate) to really make it work because I desperately craved a different way of livingβ¦
β¦I didn't give myself the grace of learning, of realising I'm new to everything online - everything marketing - everything social media - I didn't even really know what an affiliate was when I first watched the masterclass!
β¦I didn't give myself the grace of being a beginner and set super high expectations for my timeline & results - and then felt like I had a ticking bomb within me!
I realise I was rushing because I felt triggered and pressured (all by own self) to get results quickly, to make this work for me so I'm not a failure, so I'm not laughed at, so I don't lose money⦠{all my fears leaping in}
...it is definitely all my gunk coming up - my fears and beliefs - yet with the awareness comes the opportunity to clear the gunk away so it's no longer limiting me π£
...this affiliate path has definitely highlighted my gunk; which makes it a great accelerator to truly healing and overcoming any blocks π«
β¦I wish I'd been kinder to myself and seen this as a foundation for my future, a part of my journey - an all in approach - rather than trying to force 'success' to happen overnight - I nearly quit before I really even began, just because I had such huge pressure and expectations on myself!
β¦I'm now adjusting to this new path of having my online biz, to being an affiliate, to being a beginner in my 40's and I feel now that this is definitely the path for me so I'm not pressuring myself (as much) anymore - instead I'm trusting the journey as much as possible (I still have moments but I know this is just a part of re-programming my old patterns and they will ease the more I keep on coming back to what I know - not what I fear)
...I'm taking the lesson onboard and I'm slowing down, doing the mindset work and becoming more intentional - focusing on why I'm doing this, moving forwards and learning on all levels - this path is definitely life changing and I'm all in β¨οΈ
β¦are you craving changes in your own life? If so, my advice is jump now ! Don't waste anymore of your life waiting - it's not easy making big changes or starting something new but it's definitely worth it!
I'm so pleased (and quietly proud) that I've finally started taking action - my life already feels so different - because I'm so differentβ¦ I'm focused and clear on where I'm headed! Reach out if you have any questions π€©
