Another rank up
Another team member
Another celebration
And I stay there
In the same place...
What am I doing wrong?
I do believe in this business model, this opportunity, and I feel the power within myself when I say my positive affirmations out loud, but when someone skyrockets his/her business, ranks up, and gets credits within our community while he/she started the business at the same time, I feel like a failure.
Doubts creep in, I overthink, I walk back to the mirror and ask myself what I'm doing wrong. My ads don't give me proper leads, but scaling them while I don't know if this ad is the perfect one, freaks me out. Is it my communication? Do I position myself as a softy, or am I not a true leader who can guide others from the heart? Only one post in the group can make me feel like I'm never going to be able to reach that goal, too.
And at the same time, I'm spiced up, because I know that paying attention to this scarcity mindset won't get me anywhere, and I need to buckle up and get my head up high. Because I can do this too, and that my ads don't give me proper leads does maybe sends the message I have to scale them, pass that obstacle within myself to invest more money. Others are having discovery calls, and even when I now find out how to get others to book a call with me, most people don't show up or reschedule. Is that also a sign that those calls are just not for me, because I didn't have a call like this myself when I started this business?
You see all the questions I ask myself? I want to do it the right way, I also want to be celebrated, but do I celebrate myself enough?
Some people skyrocket their business from day 1, but they may have already learned some skills in marketing, because it was their former job, or they know how to work with ads or the science behind computer systems. On the outer, you don't know, and they also don't have a clue about the skills you have already built within your life. Those characteristics and habits make you you, and that's where the real power of your business and growth is. It's not in comparing what you have with that of someone else, but using what you have in a unique way to grow your business too. And it's not in the rank, it's not in the short timespan you have to get it all set and done, it's in the believe you create in yourself that you have all the tools to build your brand, that you can use your life expierience to inspire others and let them see what's possible for them too.
Wow, I now realise that I wrote this to you, as my readers, but maybe I'm now in the right mindset that I also have to reread this again for myself. Because I felt the same when I saw others growing bigger in their business. I felt less worthy when others closed a big deal or ranked up. It happens every day, the celebrations are everywhere, and that's where you question yourself: 'Why not me?'
But maybe reform that question to: 'Why not me yet?'
Because then you'll notice that it's probably because you're not confident about your capacity to make it too, and that's exactly where you need to work on.
If it were all that easy, everyone would be on the top of the ladder right now, but when I look into our community, in the variety of people, that's of course not the case. And what I describe above is just the key that motivates me to go through this stage, because I only see the ranks ups, I only see the celebrations, I only see the people who already make xxx income, I only see the ones who are fired in their business, but that's not the majority. Yes, we all can make this business work for ourselves and create the life we want, and yes, I truly believe I can do this too, but also look to the broader perspective when you feel like comparing yourself with others in our community, in other communities, or even in other network marketing companies.
I started believing in myself when I saw other business partners speaking out about their gratitude, their positive moments of the day, and what it was that made them worthy of living.
For me this was a massive stumbling block for years. I was so dishonest with myself, unconnected with my source of energy, that I lacked confidence and any sort of belief in myself. By starting this business, seeing others being prouder of themselves every day, and sparked by that energy, I started asking myself how I could create that vibe in myself too.
I watched some team calls about believing in yourself, inner strength, and listened to a lot of podcasts that taught me how to switch my mindset and make me feel complete again. I started with positive affirmations every day, which felt pretty weird in the beginning, but now feels pure, powerful, and real. I say out loud that I'm able to accomplish anything I want and that I deserve to live in abundance with my emotions, money, a team of growing people, experiences, travel memories, and lessons for life.
By now, this seems to sound a bit woohoo, but it's a different feeling if you keep on telling yourself you're worth it instead of always blaming yourself, you're not the type of girl that society likes. And I don't mind anymore, because I don't want to be that kind of woman.
I repeat this exercise daily, and by that and my full trust in the universe, things that are aligned will find me. With time, with peace and with honesty, I know that it's not in the rapid game of growing my business but in the building of a team that's fully engaged with who I am and with whom I not only build a strong brand but also connections and friendships for life.
Don't undermine your worth
by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
that each of us is special.”
