Living the E Life
We are continuing on our deep dive into the 10 mindsets that we've found to be essential as mental performance entrepreneurs. If you want a successful and fulfilling life as an entrepreneur, embracing these 10 mindsets is a good place to start.
Here's mindset #3:
We are all unique; be yourself.
When entrepreneurs first get started, we often spend a lot of time imitating other entrepreneurs and mental performance coaches we admire. We see how successful they are (or at least how successful we perceive them to be) and figure, hey - I can do that too! We may copy their style, their branding, and their operating system - and tweak it to make it our own.
While this might help us to build confidence through vicarious experience, and it is helpful to observe how others run a business, work with clients, and generate various revenue streams, it's important to remember this truth: You are you, not them.
You have your own experiences, your own education and training, and your own interests. You have lived a life that's given you a viewpoint that no one else can match. Your personality, your relationships, your knowledge of particular sports, and your hobbies are unique to you - and that's a good thing!
When you choose to show up authentically in your work and in your business, this allows you to connect with those individuals, teams, and organizations that are a good fit for you. You can then engage with them on a deeper level, demonstrate understanding, build trust, and deliver value - in a way that others simply cannot.
That's what the world needs - what our clients need: our truest selves doing good work. Instead of copying, shape shifting, and pretending, consider what makes you you. What aspects of yourself do you want to incorporate into your business? (e.g., your life, experiences, personality, training, skill sets, values, etc.). These are the components that will set you apart from everyone else, allowing you to feel more fulfilled in your entrepreneur life in the process.
Key Takeaway: No one can do your business like you.
Psst: in the Establish course we help you explore this mindset further and leverage it when building your business!
