#320: How Fast Do You Quit on Yourself?

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on my reflection on how fast as humans, female entrepreneurs, or in our life that we quit on ourselves. We quit on ourselves before we give it a chance to live, grow, breathe and expand. We tend to quit when we are on the verge of massive growth. We quit when we are just about to explode to the next level because it feels so hard and heavy or maybe because we are so used to quitting on ourselves. I am sharing a personal example of what I learned over the past 2 months regarding my podcast, the changes, and how I was seconds away from quitting because it was just too hard. In today's episode we discuss: 1) Being on the very last stretch to reaching our goals and then we get frustrated and quit right at the last yard line. What if we are only 1-2 steps away from exploding our growth and creating results beyond our original goals. 2) These are two questions I use in reflection when I have to make a decision. I am continuously learning to make decisions faster instead of sitting in the energy of waiting or wasting energy. The second question I ask myself is does it bring me joy? Do I love doing this part of my business, is it in my wheelhouse etc. If I don't love it, then the answer is easy, it's a no. If I do love it then there's away and I will figure it out by not quitting. 3) Change the expectations and continue to see it through. It could turn out better than you could have imagined. This is the power of collapsing time in your growth and business. My first 10K downloads of my podcast took 9.5 months, the second 10K downloads took 6 months, the third 10K downloads took 4 months, and then my show went on a 6+ week hiatus because of technical issues, to the point where I almost threw in the towel. Then I decided on Oct 14th to move the podcast back to the original platform and as of Oct 25th, we are celebrating just under 11K downloads in 25 days. That is the power of collapsing time. And I am still celebrating every single aspect of this growth journey!
