Start Where You Are

When I started my online business in 2019, I knew next to NOTHING about the online space. I had TONS of limited beliefs about technology and I was SCARED.

Fortunately, I had excellent mentors that did not accept my excuses and who encouraged me to take “messy action consistently.” Despite this excellent advice, I would periodically sink into “Imposter Syndrome,” i.e. the uncomfortable feeling that you are an imposter or hack no matter how much experience you have.

Fighting this feeling didn’t seem to help. One day, I decided that instead of trying to “high vibe my way” through my self confidence issues, I would use this mantra, “Sometimes I vibe high. Sometimes I vibe low. Doesn’t matter. Still I go.” In other words, it didn’t matter how “I felt.” As long as I was taking small actions continuously, I was going to succeed.

The wonderful thing about this kind of thinking and action is that as you keep your promises to yourself, it acts as a feedback loop. When you take messy action, no matter what you are going to get some results. Those results boost your confidence and FINALLY that boost in confidence will make you FEEL successful.

The trick is you’ve got to go BEFORE you FEEL like it.
