Hey guys,
I'm currently rereading Unscripted (notes I've taken thus far on the bottom of the post) and wanted to get your feedback on something I realized on my second read through that I was doing. I've changed business vehicles about 4 times in the last year and was about to close out my LLC when I finally sat down and did a bit of thinking after reading chapter 28 of Unscripted. I realized that the reason I've been switching vehicles is that every time I'd get everything up and running (The website, advertising channels, etc...) I'd let the opinions of those around me start to influence me and put me in a more fearful state. I hate the fact that I'm so easily influenced but I'm also grateful that I now have this awareness.
I initially started my YouTube channel (DrScream) and migrated to selling CBD Oil because I saw an opportunity (along with 55,000 other people). I noticed everyone saying that this business was the next Get Rich quick scheme and I dropped it. I still believe that dropping the CBD was the right decision because I don't want to be going where everyone goes (An opportunity there could be to teach people how to start their own CBD Oil business). Anyway, I dropped the CBD and I moved onto another venture of selling cell phone repairs. I did this for a few clients and I realized that this wouldn't really be scalable unless I hired an employee which I had zero experience with. I was reminded of my zero experience by a family member and I bought into the fear and dropped the business altogether.
Now I've been in a very depressed state lately (on purpose I might add) because I wanted to get clear on my WHY and use that to fuel me into the next venture to set up walls of protection that help me get the opinions of those around me in one ear and out the other.
I wanted to ask, what do you guys think would be of great benefit to helping you develop that inner strength to block out the naysayers. I know MJ mentions that it comes with time but I just figured I could ask you timed veterans to get clearer. I'm currently meditating a lot on thinking about problems I've noticed others having so that my next venture is much more value based than my previous ones. Thoughts??
