"What in the hell is wrong with me? 🤦🏽♂️ This is never gonna be good enough."
Does this ring a bell? Well, this (amongst many other colorful words) was what I was thinking, almost the entire way through the process of rebranding my business.
Prior to starting this rebrand, I knew my company and more importantly myself, needed a drastic change! I was too busy following trends and what other people valued me to be, I lost sight of my values. This, of course, spilled over into my business. Let's be honest, as a small business owner, my business is just a reflection of myself. It felt hollow and lacking in my capability in recognizing my reflection in the mirror.
After letting the habits and people go that just convoluted my clarity, I felt... clear! I was able to find my mission, my "personal legend" (Yes, I'm quoting The Alchemist).
In short, what I'm trying to say is just find yourself and pay attention to YOU in that process. Let your failures be lessons, trust your instincts, keep it simple and don't second guess yourself.
Oh, one other thing... stop scrolling through social media! They make it way too easy to compare yourself to others that 9/10 times put up some fake facade anyway. As the great Michael Jackson once said, "If you want to make a world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change."
Peace and love.
