It’s Easier Than You Think!
I received an article from a life coach the other day all about how we set our own limits in our minds of what we can achieve.
She talked about how whether it’s in our work lives or our personal lives, we all have pre-conceptions of what’s possible and what isn’t. And very often those limits we set ourselves aren’t the reality. They are just what we perceive to be the case.
And it’s so true. If we think that we personally can’t do something, we can’t… if we think our client’s can’t afford something, then they can’t. If we think they aren’t interested in rebooking, then they aren’t.
But on the other hand if we believe that anything is possible, it usually is. If we believe a client to be really interested in a product, they generally buy it. If we believe that getting more new clients is easy, then suddenly it is.
This was really hammered home to me last Sunday. I’d signed up ages ago to do a 10k run to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Trust (a big thank you to all of you who saw the post on my blog and sponsored me!) and Sunday was the big day.
I’d been worrying about it for weeks cause I’m not really a runner (I’ve never run 2km in my life, let alone 10!). But on the day, I turned up determined to get through it because the MS Trust means a lot to me. And you know what… I did. And not only that, I ran a major chunk of it and power-walked the rest to finish way faster than I thought I would. Plus, even though I’d built it up in my head to be this majorly difficult event, I have to admit it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be.
And that’s the same with business too. It’s all too easy when a goal means a lot to build it up in your head as being tough or difficult to achieve. But if you take the plunge and just try it, you may well find getting there is easier than you thought.
PS… That said, I have to admit my muscles were rather sore on Monday!! If you wanna have a sneak peak at a rather embarrassing photo of me and my sister just after we finished, have a nosey below…!
