Episode 76 - How to Achieve Your Biggest Business Goals (5 Steps to Make it happen)

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE:

This episode is all about making your biggest business goals a reality (Even if you have NO idea really what those dreams and goals are yet)

Danielle has had some really big scary dreams + goals in her life and in her business that she’s been able to achieve - and she’s breaking down the steps she took to make these goals happen.

Tune in to learn the 5 Steps (Plus a bonus Tip at the end) To Make Your Biggest Dreams and Goals Happen.

Allow yourself to Dream + Set BIG Goals for your life and Business

Give yourself the space and time to actually get clarity on what you want. Often we just push our Dreams and Goals to the side and we don’t allow ourselves to truly think about what we want to create in our lives and in our businesses! 

So carve out that time and go somewhere you feel inspired, maybe that is in nature, maybe it's your favourite coffee shop, maybe it is just your favourite part of your home where you can get cozy in a chair or on the coach and get out a notebook and brain dump all of the ideas and dreams you want to accomplish in your business. 

Give yourself permission to dream BIG! Sometimes we don’t even allow ourselves to have those BIG DREAMS and visions for ourselves or our businesses because we feel like they are TOO BIG, too scary, too audacious. But here’s a big question to ask yourself: 

What goal would I pursue if I knew it would be wildly successful?

If you feel stuck, or if you don’t really know what your dreams, goals or passions are, check out to How To Turn Your Passions into a Profitable Business.

Write Your Goals Down + Say Them Out Loud 

Write them down

Put them on Posted notes and put them up in your office or put them somewhere where you can re-visit them OFTEN! 

Saying your BIG Goals and dreams out loud is so important because it solidifies your goals and makes it real in your own mind, AND makes it REAL. So whether you share it with a friend, family member, your spouse, or if you are a part of a community of some sort! 

Say Them Out Loud

It is really important to share your goals with people that you know will support you and your goals. So don’t go to that negative friend who you know might not understand your goals. Go to someone who will cheer you on and help you actually think BIGGER! 

Break your Goals Down 

So now that you have your goals, you’ve written them out, you've said them out loud. Now it’s time to get to work! 

It’s important to dream BIG, but then break your goals down into super small, tangible steps that can be tracked! If you have a massive goal that you want to achieve, that’s amazing, and the REALLY important part is to take the time to write down ALL the steps that will be necessary execute that goal. 

Cut Out All Distractions 

Set aside time to work on those goals where you can be completely distracted FREE. Put your phone away from you so that you don’t pick it up while you are working. Go into a part of your house that is totally distraction free where you can focus on the tasks you need to get done. If you have the ability to get out to a co-working space or coffee shop and you know you are more productive there, do that! 

Get Accountability + Have patience

We are human. We will make excuses for why we are not making our BIG goal a reality. We will play it safe. Ask someone close to you to keep you accountable, whether it be someone close to you or maybe hiring a coach, or joining a community. Make sure you get that accountability because it’s very easy for us to give up on our goals when things get hard! We need other people to keep us accountable and not let us give up on ourselves or our goals! 

Practice Patience. Overnight success is a lie! You will see people sharing online that have scaled to a million dollar business within a year or made 10k in 1 day, etc. But what you are not seeing is the behind-the-scenes, the YEARS of personal development they have gone through, the ups and downs and everything in between that they invested to get there. It takes time and work to see your big dreams and goals become reality.

BONUS TIP: Get your mindset right.

THIS IS A HUGE one and if you want to dive deeper into this, check out How to Have an Abundance Mindset vs a Scarcity Mindset as an Entrepreneur and Why it's So Important to the Success of your Business and 10 Minutes to a Better Mindset

Book End your days with Positivity! 

Start your day on a positive note. Maybe you sit in your favourite chair by a window in your house with your coffee and start your day journaling, reading, praying or thinking of all the little things you are grateful for!  Then end your day with positivity. Keep your phone in another room, and end your day similarly with gratitude, prayer, journaling, reading or just quiet reflection on the wins of your day. 

Starting and ending your day with a positive mindset is going to be like your secret weapon to achieving your goals. YOU will NOT be able to achieve your big goals if you are continuously allowing negative thoughts to run your life. 

We all have negative thoughts, we all have doubts, fears, frustrations, and challenges, but it’s how we move through them that determines if we reach our goals or not! 

Recognizing the negative thought, and replacing the negative thought with Positive Truth!

TRANSCRIPT

[00:00:00] Danielle: Hello, welcome back to the podcast, everyone. My name is Danielle Wiebe and this is the business babes collective podcast. I'm really excited that you're here and I'm really grateful that you are tuning in today. Whether this is your first ever episode, if it is welcome, so happy for you to be here, or if you've been following along our entire journey.

[00:00:21] I'm just so grateful for you. I love hanging out with you. I love being able to build this relationship even though, you know, sometimes it feels weird cuz I have no idea who's listening. So thank you for those who have actually reached out, found me on Instagram, sent me a message. You guys, you have no idea how much that means to me when you just share what this podcast has meant to you and how it's helped you, whether you've gotten a big breakthrough in your business or it's helped shift your mindset, or it's encouraged you in some way. It honestly makes me so excited to continue to grow this community and this [00:01:00] podcast with you.

[00:01:01] So come find me on Instagram, if you have not connected with me yet, connect with me on Instagram. I am @danilivinglife and send me a message. I would love to hear from you. So today we're gonna be talking all about how to make your business biggest. Oh my goodness, you guys. Biggest, biggest business goals are reality. I didn't realize how much of a tongue twister that was for me.

[00:01:26] anyways, so I'm so excited about this topic because I have had some pretty big, scary dreams and goals in my life and in my business along the journey. And I've been able to achieve some really big goals as well. And so I wanted to share some of the steps that I've personally taken to make my big goals happen.

[00:01:48] So some of those goals are, you know, starting my very first business over 10 years ago while I was still in university. I wanted to start my own business and I was able to do that, which was so exciting. Then [00:02:00] launching the networking community that I launched in my city of Vancouver, Canada, shout out to all my Vancouver babes out there. But that was over seven years ago.

[00:02:11] Then, I had the goal of going full time in that business, which I was able to achieve. Then the goal of launching this podcast and launching our online courses, launching our masterminds, creating recurring, passive income for my business, so that it allowed me to have so much flexibility and be able to take time off from my business when I had Rosie and being able to slowly ease back in and now being able to work a very flexible 15 to 20 hours per week.

[00:02:43] And I wanna share the same thing with you. I wanna share how you can also do the exact same thing, achieve your big goals. And whether or not they look similar to mine, they do not have to, you might have these other incredible goals. Like maybe you wanna write a book or [00:03:00] maybe you wanna launch a YouTube channel, or maybe you wanna become a world renowned speaker or launch a product line or become the go-to expert in like simple makeup tutorials, right?

[00:03:13] Whatever that dream and those big goals that you have for your business, I want you to be able to actually achieve those goals. And I really want to help you with that. And I wanna share with you the specific steps that I have taken to be able to achieve some of those goals.

[00:03:30] And even though I have been, you know, building businesses for over 10 years now, I, I still feel like I'm just getting started. I wake up really excited about the big goals and dreams that I have for this community, this podcast, this business. And really, I wanna bring you along on the journey of that. And not only do I want to bring you along on the journey, but I also want you to be able to achieve your big goals too.

[00:03:57] So I'm excited to dive into today's [00:04:00] episode. Before we get started, again, another reminder that our mastermind is open for applications. So if you have been thinking about it and you're wanting to join a incredible group of female entrepreneurs who are successfully growing and scaling their businesses together in community, and if you wanna be able to brainstorm and strategize on how to add a passive income stream to your business or launch a new product line, or maybe you wanna start hiring and building out your team and maybe you're at that point in your business right now where you're like, I know there's so many possibilities. I know that there is there's so, so much potential with this business to grow and scale, but I just don't know what those next steps are. I'm really unclear about how, and, and what to focus on in order to move my business forward in that way, then I highly encourage you to apply for our mastermind.

[00:04:57] I would love to connect with you personally. [00:05:00] You can go to businessbabescollective.com/mastermind. And you guys, we have some incredible bonuses available for this round that are really, really exciting, including an in person VIP mastermind day, which you'll learn about a little bit more in the next few episodes, but I would love to meet you and get to know more about your business and get to connect with you.

[00:05:22] So go to businessbabescollective.com/mastermind, apply, get your application in. Even if you're not really sure if it's for you or not, I'm happy to give you that clarity that you need on that call to see what might be the next best step for you in order to scale a profitable business. So let's go ahead, without further ado, let's jump into the episode today.

[00:05:45] Welcome to the business collective podcast. I'm your host, danielle Wiebe. In this podcast, you'll learn tangible business tips and strategies on how to grow successfully and sustainably. We'll also interview seasoned [00:06:00] entrepreneurs. So you can listen in on their stories and see behind the scenes of what it took to grow and scale their businesses. Let's dive in as we discuss the wild, exciting, crazy, challenging, rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship.

[00:06:15] All right. We are diving right into the five steps in order to make your biggest goals a reality in your business. Number one is allow yourself to dream and allow yourself to set big goals for your life in your business.

[00:06:33] This might sound super obvious, but the reason it's number one is because I want you to actually give yourself the space and the time to actually get clarity on what you want. Often we push our dreams and our goals to the side, and we don't allow ourselves to truly think about what we wanna create in our lives and our businesses.

[00:06:53] So carve out that time and go somewhere where you feel inspired. Maybe it's out in [00:07:00] nature somewhere. Maybe you wanna take a walk and bring your notebook. Maybe it's your favorite coffee shop or restaurants, or maybe it's just a part of your home where you feel inspired by a window somewhere. I know for us in right on our patio, we have a bird feeder and so we have hummingbird that come and visit us, which is so fun and also really cute because Rosie is like obsessed with these hummingbird. She always like goes "doooh" when she sees them and she points right at them, anyways.

[00:07:30] So , maybe it's a spot in your home where you feel inspired and you feel like you can dream, right? So if you are feeling like there's not that area inside of your home, then I really encourage you to get out. Get out in nature, get, go somewhere inspiring. If you are blessed to live on the west coast, like me, maybe you wanna go to the ocean right? To the beach somewhere, if you aren't, but you have a lake somewhere that you love, maybe going by the [00:08:00] lake somewhere, somewhere where you can just open up your mind to the possibilities of what is possible for you, what is possible for you in your life and in your business?

[00:08:09] Because if you can dream it, I know this is really cheesy, you guys, but it is so true. Like if you can dream something up, you can absolutely accomplish it. So I wanna give you permission to dream big, and I want to give you permission that we don't often give ourselves is taking that time and actually carving out that time to really figure out what you do want.

[00:08:31] A question that I think is so powerful to ask yourself is what goal would I pursue if I knew it would be wildly successful? Like, what, if you knew you couldn't fail, you knew for sure it was gonna be a success. Like what would you pursue? What would you, what would you do? Because often we don't allow ourselves to even think about things that we truly want to happen cuz we just have convinced ourselves that it's not [00:09:00] possible. But what if you knew for sure it was possible and you knew for sure it was gonna be a success. Then what would you have as a goal? What would you have as a dream? Right.

[00:09:10] So ask yourself that question. Pause this episode right now. Ask yourself that question. Write it down. If you feel stuck or you don't really know what your dreams or goals or passions are, then I highly encourage you to listen to episode 64 and 65. So 64 and 65 are a two part series on the podcast that we did on how to turn your passions into a profitable business. So if you're at a stage in your life or in your business, or you're going through some sort of a pivot, changing industries, I highly recommend listening to that episode.

[00:09:42] If you're feeling like I don't even know what my dreams are, I don't even know what I'm passionate about. Go listen to that episode and that will really help you to kind of narrow down and figure out what are some of those passions. And then some of those goals, those big dreams and goals will come from knowing what you're [00:10:00] passionate about. So start there if you're feeling a little lost, but if there's things that are just popping up for you, you know, you're writing down all of these ideas, these goals. Awesome. That's great. We can go on to number two.

[00:10:12] So number two is writing them down and saying them out loud. The reason why writing them down is so important, so you might be thinking of all your ideas and letting yourself dream, letting yourself think of the goals that you have. But I really highly, highly encourage you to write them down, put them on your notebook, put them on post-it notes, put them up on your office and put them somewhere where you're going to revisit them often.

[00:10:38] So if that's in a journal that you open up, maybe it's like the front page where you put all your goals, or if it's somewhere, if you're a very visual person, I highly recommend putting it on post-it notes or writing it out, or you can even type it out and print it out and like frame it and put it in your office, whatever you wanna do so that you can remind yourself of your goals on a [00:11:00] consistent basis, and then saying your big goals and dreams out loud.

[00:11:05] This is really important because it solidifies your goals and it makes it real in your own mind. And one of the really important things is as well, is sharing it with someone that you trust and sharing it with someone who you know, is gonna support you. So this one's a little bit more of a tricky one, especially if you have people in your life that don't support your dreams.

[00:11:28] So I encourage you, tell someone who you know, is going to support that dream. You don't have to tell people your dreams that are just going to either not believe in you or tell you that they're a bad idea. You know, think about people who have done either similar things to what you wanna do or are doing scary, big dream things themselves too, right?

[00:11:50] So find other people, you know, if you have a friend or a family member or a spouse who's really supportive, awesome. Tell them, or find a community of people who can [00:12:00] support you on in your dream and building that support system in and saying it out loud and getting that accountability is so, so key.

[00:12:08] And if you want to share it on your social media accounts publicly, or share it in your eNewsletter list, if you have one. You know, just getting it out there and putting it out there, the more you put it out there, the more likely you are to actually achieve the goal. Because if you think about it, you know, if you start telling people what you're doing, those people are going to say things like, Hey, I know someone who you should connect with, or I know someone who achieved that goal.

[00:12:35] I know someone let's say your goal is to write a book. They might say, oh my goodness, I know someone that wrote a, wrote a book. I I'll connect you with them. Right. So all of these opportunities, the more people that you tell, the more likely it is that you can actually achieve that goal. Or maybe your goal is to like connect with some big magazine or platform where you wanna be featured, right?

[00:12:55] The more people you tell, the more likely you are to actually achieve that because you never [00:13:00] know who the people that you know, and having your network, you don't know who they know, right. Who's a part of their network that they might be able to connect you with to make your goal and your dream a reality. So that's why writing it down and also saying it out loud and telling people is so, so key.

[00:13:16] Okay. Number three is breaking your goals down. So this is where you actually have to get to work. Now that you have your goals, which is so exciting, you've written them out. You've said them out loud. It's time to actually strategically make those a reality and make them happen. So I absolutely love working with my clients on this. And I love when they're dreaming big, they have these big visions and goals for what they wanna do and then what we do together. And what I wanna encourage you to do is break down your goals into super. Super small, tangible steps that can be tracked.

[00:13:52] And so if you have this massive goal, you wanna break it down into really manageable steps. I teach that you [00:14:00] wanna break it down into super micro steps. So even if it's like this big project, you wanna break it down into things that are gonna take you less than 10 minutes. And I know that sounds kind of crazy, you're like, why can't I just break it down into chunks of like hours or whatever? When you do that, still in your mind, there's something about it that feels overwhelming, right? But if you start breaking it down into the things that are gonna take you less than 10 minutes, all of a sudden those things that you're writing down, those things that are super tangible, that take 10 minutes or less, those things are really easy to do.

[00:14:36] So maybe one of your first steps in, uh, let's say writing a book is maybe your first step is figuring out and doing some research on self-publishing versus working with the publisher. And what is that process? So that is something just quick research that could take you about 10 minutes to do. Maybe your next step is to find a community of other people that are also writing books to [00:15:00] get you some accountability. And then the next step would be to maybe do a huge brain dump of all the things that you wanna have in your book. And then maybe the next step is to write a hundred words, right?

[00:15:10] So break these things down into super, super small, tangible steps. And even if you don't know what those first steps are, what could you do to find out what those steps are? We have Google at our fingertips. We have so much at our fingertips that we can utilize in order to make our goals a reality. So again, breaking those big goals, big massive goals into small, tiny, tangible steps.

[00:15:36] And the second part of that is to actually schedule the times in where you are going to work on those things. So we talked about this in a previous episode, and I know maybe not all of you listen to it, cuz it was about productivity for moms. But even if you're not a mom, I actually highly recommend you listen to that episode because it's a lot about just productivity in general. And one of the things I talked about is creating a schedule for [00:16:00] yourself and creating a, uh, workflow so that you actually know what times of the day and working in time blocks, so, you know, when you're working on certain things.

[00:16:09] So if you have this goal and you have a timeline on when you want the school to happen, then you're gonna have to kind of work backwards from that time and figure out, okay, how much time do I have to put in either each week, each month or maybe even each day in order to make that big goal a reality.

[00:16:28] So I would highly recommend breaking it down and then scheduling in those tasks on a recurring basis. And I recommend doing it on a, at least a weekly basis because if you're only doing things on a monthly basis, it doesn't really become a habit. So if it's something that you're really wanting to grow and scale, or you're really, let's say you wanna launch a book within a year, I highly recommend doing it on a weekly basis or maybe even a daily basis, like five days a week. You're gonna spend, let's [00:17:00] say, 20 minutes to half an hour on writing your book.

[00:17:03] So that is something that I really highly recommend. Putting it in your workflow, if you have one or putting it in your schedule and making sure that you're setting aside and carving out the time to do that.

[00:17:15] Number four is cut out all distractions. So when you're setting aside this work time to work on these big goals that you have, where can you go where you're completely distraction free and what I want you to do. And this is really important. You guys, I know that you might think like Danielle, I can handle it. Like I can have my phone right beside my computer and I'm not gonna check it, I promise.

[00:17:40] Just you guys think about it this way. Your phone is so addictive. Like I have to, I personally know that if I have my phone beside me, I'm gonna check it at least once, if not twice, during my work block, because it's there, right? And I'm like, oh, I need to quickly look up that thing. Or I quickly need to [00:18:00] check something on my text messages or on Instagram, you know, things will pop up in your mind.

[00:18:05] So what I recommend for this is putting your phone and you can either put it in another room or if you're like, oh, but I need to, you know, make sure if I get text messages or phone calls that my phone is with me. Okay. Fine. Put it somewhere where you can't see it, but you can still hear it. So if someone were to call or someone were to text, you can go and you can, you can go check it, but put it outside of your vision and put it outside of your arms reach, right?

[00:18:31] So that is super, super important. And then where are you actually gonna do this work? So do you have a space that is clean and clear in your home? Then, awesome. You can use that space to really get into the focus mode. If you like listening to music. I personally like listening to music that is just instrumental.

[00:18:51] That helps me get really in the zone for working. So know what your productivity triggers are. Maybe you like lighting a candle or, [00:19:00] um, diffusing, some of essential oils, whatever you wanna do to get yourself in that zone is really important and make sure that if you're gonna go to a coworking space or a coffee shop, just make sure that whatever space you're in, it's gonna be a space where you can really just get super hyper focused and you're not gonna be distracted by other things.

[00:19:20] Okay. Number five is get accountability and have patience. So I kind of put these together because I think the accountability piece is really important, but then also having patience and then having people around you that are going to push you, but also on one side, have grace that it might not happen in the timeframe that you frame that you set for yourself. So we are all human. And as far as having the accountability, the reason why I think this is so important is because there's two sides of it. One, we will make excuses for why we're not making our big goals a reality, right? We we're gonna play it safe. We are going to not wanna push past our comfort [00:20:00] zone in order to do, to do something. And usually when we have these big goals, we're gonna have to stretch ourselves. We're gonna have to grow. We are going to have to do scary things. And so when someone is there to actually, you know, encourage you and, and call you out and say, Hey, You're working on this thing, like, how is that going?

[00:20:17] Right. So whether or not you wanna have someone close to you who can be that accountability for you, or if you're gonna hire a coach or join a community, that is really important to have that accountability piece and making sure also on the other side of it is that you have patience for yourself.

[00:20:34] So, ah, this is so important. Overnight success a total lie. You guys like I know you see people sharing on social media, how they've, you know, made a million dollars in a day. They've had a 10 K launch their first month in business. Like all of these ridiculous things that people are saying online, but what you're not seeing is behind the scenes of what that looks like.

[00:20:56] I think it's so important to realize that often [00:21:00] the success comes after years and years and years, and sometimes decades, you guys of personal development and of business growth and investing in their business and investing in themselves. And so when we see overnight successes, a lot of the times that's actually like 10 years in the making for them to have that overnight success, right?

[00:21:23] So it's super important to have these big goals and have these big dreams for ourselves a hundred percent like dream big and set goals, but also realize that things are not gonna happen overnight. We have to have patience. We have to have tenacity and we have to have the ability to see our goals through, even if they're not happening in the timeline that we thought they would happen right? So even if like, think about it this way, if you really want something and you have this big goal and you want it to happen in a year, okay. What if it takes two years? What if it takes three years? What if it takes five years? Is that still [00:22:00] something that you wanna pursue?

[00:22:01] And I think that's a really important thing to ask yourself, because if you still are like, yes, even after, even if it took me five years, even if took, took me 10 years or 20 years, I would still want to hit that goal. Then keep going. Because often what ends up happening is that it doesn't happen within the timeframe that we think it will because we're comparing ourselves to all these other people that we think had this overnight success, which they didn't, but they're, you know, it looks like that online.

[00:22:29] And so we end up giving up on our dream because are we give up on our goals, cause we're like, oh, it's not happening for me. Maybe I don't have, I don't have the right resources or I'm not good enough or I'm not talented enough to you know, for that goal to come true for me. When really it's just that you didn't put the time and effort into actually building that dream and, and reaching that goal.

[00:22:51] So that's why I think that patience is such an important piece. And I know I've talked about it on the podcast before, about how important it is, but I just wanted to [00:23:00] share it again because I think it's something that we need to hear again and again, and again.

[00:23:05] Okay. I have one more tip for you. One more bonus tip because I just, I, I could not leave this one out. So this is getting your mindset right. You guys, this is so important and this actually kind of relates to having patience. But if you wanna dive deeper into kind of mindset, the episodes that I think are really good for that is episode 39. We talk about how to have an abundance mindset versus a scar scarcity mindset.

[00:23:32] And then also episode 20, which is 10 minutes to a better mindset. So if you're struggling right now, if you're feeling like you're in this just really negative head space, I highly recommend listening to those two episodes.

[00:23:44] But this is some tangible that I wanna share with you as far as reaching your goals, because you can do all the steps, right? You can do all of the strategic action steps in order to reach your goals, but if you are [00:24:00] letting your negative mind overtake you and you are not being intentional about having a positive mindset, as you're trying to reach your goals, it's either not gonna happen for you, or it's just gonna take way longer than you want it to.

[00:24:16] These are tips that I have for you in order to bring that positivity into every day. So I want you to bookend your days with positivity, okay. So what does that look like? I want you to start your day on a really positive note. I know it's really hard, especially, I don't know, for those of us who have really crazy schedules or for those of us who are parents or just are juggling a lot of different things.

[00:24:39] We can't often control what happens in the middle of our day, right? But we can control how we start our day and we often can control how we end our day. And so if you can start your day on a really positive note, maybe you're sitting in your favorite chair, maybe by a window, um, in your house with your cup of coffee when you wake up in the morning and start [00:25:00] your day, just journaling or reading or praying or thinking about all the things that you're grateful for, and then end your day the same way.

[00:25:07] So keep your phone in another room. I really highly encourage charging your phone in another room. I've started doing that again. I got out of the habit of doing that and now I'm doing it again because I've realized how so vitally important it is for me to have a positive mindset because you guys, like I said, we're all human. I would find myself scrolling, social media or scrolling, whatever it was late at night. And then, you know, half an hour or an hour would go by and I'm like, What am I doing?

[00:25:35] Right. And then it just put my mind in a really negative mindset before I went to bed. And so now I'm, I'm charging my phone in another room. It's been so, so amazing. Just to end my day with gratitude with prayer journaling, again, um, reading a book, I'm just quiet reflection as well. You can. You know, sit there quietly and just reflect on the day and reflect on the wins or the things that happen in your day that [00:26:00] you're grateful for.

[00:26:00] So starting and ending your day on a positive note is going to be your secret weapon to achieving your goals. So if you are thinking, you know, Danielle I've tried this before, I've tried to think positively, and then I just get into this negative mind frame or this negative spiral. Again, listen to those two episodes that I said before, episode 39, episode 20, but also we all have negative thoughts, right? We all have doubts. We all have fears, frustrations, challenges. I have them, everyone has them, but it's how we move through them that determines if we're going to be able to reach some of the goals that we set for ourselves, and if we're gonna have really a positive, happy life. Right?

[00:26:39] So recognizing the thoughts that come up, the negative thought patterns that come up and instead of just letting those thoughts take over and letting them go into this spiral of more and more and more negative thoughts. It's replacing those thoughts with those negative thoughts with truth. Right. What is true? So say for example, you are doing something that is [00:27:00] really difficult and a negative thought comes in like I'm not smart enough for this. I don't, I don't understand this. I'm not good at this. And you just kind of start going through a spiral, stop those negative thoughts and then replace them with what's true.

[00:27:13] What's true is you are just learning you're you're a beginner and it's okay to be a, a beginner and you are learning and you are growing and you are getting better at that thing that, right now, sure, you're not an expert in. But you're researching and you're learning more and you are capable of learning new things.

[00:27:31] You are capable of expanding your mind to new ideas. You're, you're capable of learning new skills. Right? So replacing those negative thoughts with what is actually true is so, so powerful. So I encourage you to do that. And also another thing to keep positive is surrounding yourself with other positive people, because positivity and joy and excitement and passion and all those things, those are all contagious, right?

[00:27:58] So surround yourself with [00:28:00] other people who are inspiring as well. Because if you are surrounded by people who are negative, who are dragging you down, who are telling you your dreams, aren't possible, who are telling you all the things that are, that you're not good at. Like, you need to surround yourself with people who actually believe in what you're doing and will encourage you to get there.
