Today I’m sharing with you the obstacles I faced starting a business - and they’re not things like getting a permit or license or learning hot do things — these are mental struggles that largely go unseen by others. 

 

If you don’t have your own practice, you may have experienced these on a more subdued level. If you don’t address them, then you’re doomed to repeat the same patterns. But if you have these issues and you don’t address them when you have a business, your business won’t take off. You simply can’t get things done. You procrastinate and do nothing and you’ll take your business down with you. Or you’ll become so burned out by stressing your body that you’ll self-destruct.

 

When you’re listening to these, see if any of them resonate with you. If they do, then you know where your work is. There may be several of these areas that you relate to. I would start with the one that resonates the most with you and ask yourself where you can self-coach yourself or seek help with coaching. Or talk it out with someone you trust.

 

These aren’t necessarily topics of conversation you want to talk about with someone you don’t trust or with someone who won’t respond supportively. These are touchy topics that can cut to the core of who we think we are as human beings. Our identity.
