Overcoming Procrastination, Doubt, Anxiety & STOP HESITATING with Jennifer Lyall
Nov 25, 2021
Ever had a million-dollar idea? What happens next is a tale all too familiar to entrepreneurs. You wait, doubt, overthink and then the idea dies on the vine. In this episode of Cash In On Camera, we're turning the tables and Jennifer Lyall is going to coach ME to stop hesitating on something I've recently started to think about launching.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll hear…
▶️ [1:28] Well, it's funny because this conversation that we're doing today is a result of a private conversation that Jennifer and I had because we run in the same circles. We were talking one day and I expressed to Jennifer, that I had this idea that I really wanted to start teaching about how I'm creating this show because I get a lot of questions.
▶️ [4:13] I think it really depends on some of the beliefs, that you are bumping up against based on your past experiences. Perhaps you were brought up in a family or in your career that you always have to do hard work. And then perhaps, there's this idea that it's going to be hard work and you don't want to do more hard work, you are just so done with hard work and just like, "Oh, it's going to be too hard." And so you have to bump up and work through that idea and that belief.
▶️ [6:27] And it's challenging to do that because people let's say entrepreneurs who are maybe at the earliest. I think that the hardest part of entrepreneurship is always at the beginning part. Right? It's when you don't know what you don't know, it's when your resources are limited. It's when you're bootstrapping, it's when you're like just, it's high, it's a side hustle, you're trying to make it work. You're still working.
▶️ [10:33] They talk about how you are a reflection of the top five people that you surround yourself with. So if you are focusing on this personal development yourself, and then you are surrounded by people who don't believe in it. Then it's like that crap in the bucket scenario, you're trying to climb out and then people like bring you back down here and it takes way more discipline to be able to focus on that positive mindset and believing in what's possible when you're surrounded by a bunch of people who don't have that same vision.
▶️ [12:01] It is doing the work and making it a habit to do the work. Whether you feel like it, or you don't feel like it. I feel like, and this is something I have struggled with, I have to admit. Especially coming from the broadcasting industry where I was diligently working shift work, right? It's like you go in at a certain time. I have my makeup on by 4:00 AM.
▶️ [14:09] But also recognizing sometimes we just dipped down a little bit and need to boost ourselves up so we can be more productive. And I feel like also bringing up the conversation around this word hustle and you stop the hustle. It's not healthy for our physical or mental or emotional well-being. It is not healthy. And when we are feeling we are way more productive and we can have a much bigger impact on our world and make a bigger contribution rather than push, push, push push.
▶️ [17:33] And that's when you're in alignment with the energy of that idea. So you're being an energetic match to the vision that you want to bring to life. And then it makes it way easier for you to see what that next step is, and to believe in yourself and have the confidence to take action. So it really is about managing your energy and with that, because you're checking in on how you're feeling physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
▶️ [19:11] Okay. One of the things that I know a lot of entrepreneurs struggle with is creating content. And it's going to be like, "Ah, I've got lots to do and I don't really want to do it." You don't feel motivated. And really it comes back to. When you're in a good vibrational statement, you feel good. That's when all of the ideas flow. So, I go for my walk in the morning and that's when I get all my ideas.
