Ask yourself

What are your obstacles? (Be truthful here.)

There will be some trepidation, and the process that we go through in our mentoring sessions allows you to work through similar stages. Below are some suggestions to help you reflect on what you want for yourself so that you live the life that you deserve. As you work through the steps below you may find that you will come back to them and add things or change things. This is part of the process and perfectly fine.

This list is for you to identify anything that may hold you back. If you don’t call it for what it is, you can’t address it. You can’t demystify it. This is why it is so important. These might be:

• Example: Self-doubt?

• Example: Money? Please don’t avoid it and what about it exactly?

• Example: Time? Are you allocating time to set up and build your dream?

• Example: Knowing where to start?

Life, as you no doubt are aware, has no rules, except for the ones that we tell ourselves. We at times believe the stories that we are SOLD. Yes, I used the word ‘sold’ intentionally because marketing agencies, social media platforms and corporates sell us many stories, but it is up to us to redefine the message by looking inward. Nobody knows you as well as you know yourself, especially if you allow yourself to be heard – not your inner critic, but the person that you truly know you are – your best version.

History gives us an opportunity to reflect on the past, and this reflection enables you to learn from it, not so that we can repeat it, but so you can recognise things that you would like to change.
