A letter of encouragement to you, a powerful warrior business woman.
I know how difficult it is to start a business. I know how difficult it is to keep one going. I see the fight you have every day of wanting to do more and that the same time struggling to make ends meet. I feel your challenges and triumphs, your celebrations when things go well.
And I know about the dark days, warrior business woman. I know about the days when scarcity is so overwhelming you can no longer see possibility. Those days are the hardest. Because they can often cycle into a whole mindset, a way of believing that keeps you in the struggle of running your business, versus thriving and having a powerful business. Scarcity can overwhelm us to the place where we no longer SEE possibility. And that is when it is most dangerous.
And then we scramble in scarcity mode and that is a deadly cycle…
I recently had a woman wanting to work with me in this mode. Even when I tried to get “possibility thinking” going she struggled. All she could see is that she had to put food on the table. She couldn’t see the visibility, network and influence she could introduce me to in order to create win/win.
What do you do to get out of scarcity mode? The first thing is you have to know that your self-worth is limitless. And secondly you have to know that your unlimited space and potential is even greater. Know that in your heart soul and mind as you work to make your business visible and financially successful.
What else do you need to do? You have to see opportunity everywhere and know that you have resources and connections and relationships that if you approach it correctly you can often get what you want and need to make the success you desire. Last, and this is the hardest…LEAP. In the core of your SOUL warrior you know what needs to be done. LEAP.
I’m in that mode now. I’m just trying to visualize the abundance, the greatness I know I have potential to be and have. I try not to think of the negative, but to think of the positive. There are days that seems impossible and I just cry myself to sleep, or I wake up at 3:30am in a panic. I have to remind myself daily, my dreams can come true and this phase will not last forever.
Scarcity mode can take so many forms too can’t it? With time, love, confidence I could go on and on. Scarcity mode also puts us into the mode of “dong it alone” which is SO HARD! Thank you for sharing from your heart Wendee!
