One of the big ones is I\u2019m not an expert\u2026I don\u2019t know enough\u2026and Who\u2019s going to listen to me?<\/p>\n<p>We all have these self-limiting doubts in our head. We all have things we say to ourselves that hold us back, turn into fear and overwhelm, and make us doubt everything about what we\u2019re doing, who we are, and the impact we can have on the world.<\/p>\n<p>Stop worrying, if you know 10% more than somebody else knows you\u2019re an expert\u2026at least to them.<\/p>\n<p>If you wait to start your business, to start the thing that\u2019s burning in your heart, the thing that would get you up in the morning and keep you excited, the thing you would do if money were no object.<\/p>\n<p>(I don\u2019t like that analogy because for most of us we don\u2019t see that as a possibility, right? Money is an object. We have to think about the security of our families, and women tend to think about security a bit differently than men might).<\/p>\n<p>If, in fact, you could get to the place where you didn\u2019t have to worry about that, what would you do?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it has nothing to do with what you\u2019re doing now. That\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it has to do with kids or animals, or habitat for humanity, or maybe you would help couples heal their relationships. Whatever it is, is there a way for you to be doing some of that now? Stop saying to yourself, \u201cI\u2019m not good enough\u201d or \u201cI don\u2019t know enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can go get certified in something if you\u2019d like. Remember, that certification you so desire, whatever it is, is a business opportunity for someone else. They\u2019re making money. Yes they\u2019re educating you. They\u2019re giving you great information, they\u2019re giving you a piece of paper that says you\u2019re certified. The question is, do you know any more or have any more real life experience when you get that piece of paper than you did before? Don\u2019t overemphasize the certificate.<\/p>\n<p>Go do it. Maybe you it for free for a little while. Find a way to do the thing that\u2019s burning in your heart\u2026the thing you want to go do. Then, figure out how to make money with it.<\/p>\n<p>You know more than you think you know. You\u2019re an expert to somebody. Just go show them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We talk to ourselves and have conversation in our heads all the time.
