Please Give Yourself Permission (You’re The Only One Who Can)
In many of the spaces we move in before we work for ourselves there are a lot of rules around what we can do and when.
‘All promotions are based on seniority.’
‘You can’t do this job until you have that qualification.’
‘You can’t study this unless you did that first.’
And in some cases these rules make sense. I know when I go into hospital I definitely want to be sure that the surgeon did indeed learn exactly how to do the surgery needed!
Other times though these rules actually don’t make sense at all. If you are an amazing teacher does it make sense that you can’t go for certain jobs because others have been there longer than you?
Probably not. But the system doesn’t allow for this.
The reason these rules are usually created is not because someone was trying to make it hard, it’s to ensure that the person who gets the job can actually do the job in question. It’s just that this doesn’t always work.
The bigger problem here is that we lose the ability to decide for ourselves what we can and can’t do because we get used to handing over the decisions that affect our lives to someone else.

In business you only really have two options.
That sounds pretty stark right? ‘
A lot of the time it feels like we are overwhelmed by options – which niche should we go for, who is our ideal client, should we sell online or offline, are webinars better than Facebook Ads etc etc.
These are micro-options, or micro decisions. Ultimately yes, which strategy you go for does matter. But what really makes the difference is at a deeper level.
