Episode 5

Do you have what it takes?

This week’s big question with a short answer is “do you have what it takes?” I’ve asked myself this question repeatedly while growing a company. In some ways, I think I’m really lucky to have come out of the womb as a pig-headed person. Maybe that’s not a nice thing to say about yourself (ha) but it’s true! I’m too stubborn to quit, and having what it takes is a mindset game above all. You have to believe in yourself before anyone else. 

Do you do daily affirmations? I used to think it was corny but now there are a few I use in my everyday life. If I feel like I can’t push through, I tell myself these things on repeat. 

Remember your inner voice is influenced by what you repeat to yourself and what your mind consumes. Quit taking in all the negative BS around you. Be sure to monitor how much of the news or other people you are consuming. Most importantly, you get to choose what’s best for you!

Episode highlights:

02:05 - You have to be too stubborn to quit to have what it takes to do whatever you want to do.
