Nothing comes easy. Can I have an AMEN if you're a small business owner and know this to be the truth? For instance,. I must have _____________ [rewritten the script for my latest online course at least 100 times / thrown out a gazillion designs before being comfortable with my collection / sent a thousand emails and business proposals to get funding for my venture.]. Sometimes we have to do things over and over again to get something right and I can’t begin to tell you how many minutes have slipped away from me just by sitting still in the learning phase. At the same time—ultimately—I (state your accomplishment/ got it done, right?) So, when the mistakes I make seek to derail me, I just keep on creating. Now I’m happy to say ____________ (my course is ready to be launched / the collection is sold out and I’m working on my second / I got the investment and my dream is about to come to life /etc.) So don't go knocking yourself out when things aren’t perfect the first time around. Once you learn from the process, those mistakes can take you places you need to go.
