When you just start off with your entrepreneurship journey, you will realize that you have to limit your beliefs and expectations. As you progress, you will learn that there are probably some habits or ideas you need to let go just so you can reach your fullest potential-self. It is essential to acknowledge what you should let go in order to advance in your careers. And here are examples of things you probably must set free as your business progress:
Creature comforts
comforts are many things. It can be hours of sleep, doing your hobbies, scrolling social medias, and more. As your business progress, you will realize that some of your creature comforts are not giving you any benefits to advance your career. You will find something more productive to fill the space after leaving some of your creature comforts. It is beneficial for you to shed some of your creature comforts and focus more on self-care practices.
Financial security
As your career progress, you realize that you need something that can make a real impact. You have the urge to gain unique experience. Hence, you will start to think of sacrificing your security, especially the financial security. You need to make some sacrifices out of your financial security in order to gain more financial stability with your business in the future. At least, you sacrifice it to find opportunities for a secondary placement.
Time
Time is something you like it or not will sacrifice once you grow your business. Many entrepreneurs though that they will have more ‘me’ time once they are success. However, it is mostly myth because the more success you are, the busier you tend to be. If you want to keep your time spent evenly between work and other areas of your life, you need to find balance. Also, keep in mind that success is not defined by your career achievements alone. Finding balance between work and life is also a form of success not many people get to achieve.
Control
It is also something you must set free in order to advance in your career. Sometimes, in particular situations, you need to give up control. Sometimes, there are some unforeseen circumstances that are out of your control. It is okay to not get the outcome you initially hoped for. You can use it as a way to improve yourself for the future. You can sacrifice your control but that doesn’t you sacrifice your vision, ethics, or morals.
Belief of waiting instead of doing
The kind of belief that you should wait is something you must set free if you want to move forward with your business’s growth. Waiting for something to happen doesn’t work in business. If you keep waiting for ‘the right time’, big change won’t ever happen. Keep going is what you should do to build your business into another level. Make the situation better instead of waiting for some miracle to happen.
