Welcome to another episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast!
Here’s an episode for everyone who needs a pick-me-up, a detox, or an upper after a slump they’ve gone through or, maybe, still going through.
Today, Rob shares tips on how to shoo away the habit of beating yourself up by labelling and stereotyping. Listen as he discusses the techniques and benefits of having to label yourself with optimism and clarity. When you know what to do, you’ll be winning and solving problems in no time even when you’re going through a rough patch.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Be careful of what you label yourself. If you’ve associated your identity with something, it’s hard to come back from it.
I've hit the brick wall… I'm sinking… There's a huge weight on my shoulders… I've got impostor syndrome…
NONE of these are real (unless you make it real)! You’re just going through some challenges. Don’t own it. Breathe and understand that it just didn’t go right this moment and things can be different.
If you want to label yourself, say these instead: I am a winner! I defeat challenges! I am a creator! I am a solver of problems!
Empower yourself. The things you say to yourself when you experience high confidence SHOULD BE the same things you say to yourself when you lack confidence. If you’re going to talk yourself down, make sure to talk yourself up. Whoever you say you are, if you own these things, you’re going to win and solve your problems.
If things happen frequently, disassociate yourself from the individual event. Contextualize what happened. Remember that every new day is a new opportunity. You can try focusing on something more productive.
BEST MOMENTS
"You are taking individual things that happened and then, lumping them in an entire meaning and then holding an identity of them in your life. That's dangerous. That's not fair!"
"You are not a failure, you just didn't get one thing right."
“People who fail the most often succeed the most."
"Remember that every new day is a new opportunity. Remember that every master was once a disaster and every winner was once a beginner."
