If you haven’t watched the podcast where I shared my journey making over $500k… you may want to watch it here.
In hindsight, there was one core ingredient that helped me succeed.
It wasn’t confidence.
It wasn’t a strategy.
Neither was it a tactic.
That element was Self-Awareness.
Throughout my entire entrepreneurial journey, I had a single habit that served me very well.
And that was to set time off every single day to think.
This is the only time that I won’t be serving clients, or working on stuff.
Instead, I would contemplate on decisions.
Because it’s not intelligence or hustle that sets the most successful entrepreneurs apart.
It’s the quality of decisions.
One single decision can either 10x your business or destroy the biz you built.
(This is why CEOs are paid so well – They are paid to make high-stakes decisions)
Self-awareness is the exact ingredient you need to make good decisions.
Without it, it creates a whole list of problems:
Such as
– Working with the wrong partner that leads to a fractured business relationship.
– Choosing the wrong business model.
– Marrying the wrong spouse (This isn’t a biz decision but it will affect your biz)
– Applying a strategy that doesn’t fit your business.
When you raise your self-awareness, you will start improving every aspect of your life.
That includes:
- How do you work with people
- What projects do you choose to work on
- How do you make the most of your time
- Who do you choose to make friends with
- What do you choose to learn and why.
Case in Point:
- I chose to leave the agency after realizing that I had learned most of what I needed to learn.
- I built a Coaching business to show clients that the process I teach WORKS.
- I crafted a high-conversion funnel and sales process that suits my personality. I don’t like doing webinars or getting on sales calls.
- I took the initiative to leave partnerships that weren’t working out because I knew my self-worth.
Every single decision was carefully deliberated before I went through with it.
And all I did was to spend 1 hour in the morning to think
No distractions. No messages. No work.
I just sit in a room and think about business, life, and the decisions I have to make.
Do this, and it could change your life.
