Nothing Wrong With A Bit Of Pressure
Something I see all the time with my clients is they will have resistance towards scaling because they are slightly afraid of the added pressure.
Which makes sense.
It is high stakes, you don’t want to ruin your reputation, there are things on the line that will have a real impact.
It is natural to be stressed about these things if you’re doing something you’ve never done before.
But - that doesn’t mean you should just “fold” to the pressure.
That doesn’t get you anywhere, and that has zero impact on you and your family’s life. In fact, if you fold, you are pretty much selling the bag.
And ‘fumbling’ doesn’t just mean a complete failure. It means:
Going slower because of fear
Procrastinating key tasks in the business
Going against your gut because you’re afraid of the consequence
Do you really want to be the guy that never took the next step because you were afraid of a few clients?
Or running a few ads?
I’m almost certain the answer to that would be ‘no.’
So the question becomes → Why do you hold yourself back from overcoming this pressure and fear?
The truth is, this pressure is a blessing.
Not many people are blessed to be in the position of control: you feel the pressure → you control the outcome
As long as you don’t capitulate, the pressure will give you motivation
It gives you a chance to overcome it and reach a new level. Pressure creates diamonds baby.
Feel the pressure and overcome it.
But definitely do not just wait and allow it to domnate your subconscious mind.
That is where you just get beat up.
Acknowledge it
Overcome it
Easy as.
