Silence the Doubters: Your Dream Doesn't Need Their Approval

Hi everybody, are you quietly wondering if you should keep going with your business because people around you don't seem to be fully behind you? I'd love to start by saying you are not wrong or dramatic or ungrateful for wanting more, and you are definitely not alone. When you start building something from the heart, something creative, something personal and something meaningful for you, it can feel confusing or even confronting to other people around you. And here's the part that nobody says out loud. They're not doubting your dream because that's your dream. They're not doubting you because they don't believe in you. They're actually doubting it because they love you, because they don't want you to get hurt so they want to keep you safe. Because your growth forces them to face their own comfort zone, this can also get them thinking and a little bit wobbly. Watching you take the risks can definitely bring up fear and possibly their own limitations. But here's the truth, guys, their fear does not have to be your future. If you wait for everybody in your life to fully understand your dream before you begin, you will 100% be waiting forever because it's not their dream. You are definitely allowed to want something different to what you've got. You are allowed to try something new. You're allowed to build a life that excites you even if no one gets it yet. You and I know who built a successful business starts in that exact place with a spark of that excitement, that hobby-ness, a heartfelt hope and a room full of people giving her, 'are you sure' energy? And do you know what she did? She kept going because this is your dream, your idea, your passion, your calling and you don't need approval. You don't need approval to take the next step because it's your life. What you need is belief. From yourself, momentum from every tiny, tiny action and courage. The quiet kind that's really behind closed doors, the courage to keep going, the courage when nobody is cheering you on. Your people, your friends, your family might not understand now but they will understand when they actually see you thriving, when they see you glowing and living the life that you've been imagining and if they don't, you still deserve to do it anyway because it's your life, your dream, even if you're in a partnership or a marriage, it's still your life and your dream. So let's get another piece of paper and another pen and jot down these things. Number one, why is this dream mattering to me? Just one sentence, keep it real, keep it why? Write it down. And what's one tiny action you can take this week coming towards your business? One tiny, weeny step. The size really doesn't matter but actually the movement, the change will and put that on a bit of paper. Both of them make sure you see them every day. You know, by the kettle, the mirror, on your laptop. Every time, guys, every time a little bit of doubt creeps in, I want you to read it. Shake away other people's opinion, read it every time you feel alone, read it. You deserve to take up that space in your own life, in your own dream. Because you are you and your dreams are important, even if it wobbles somebody else's life or it makes them think about their own lives in their business or the fact that they think you're brave, silly, misunderstood, whatever it is, it doesn't matter. Taking those steps are the important things. You are not alone. If you fancy a chat with us, we will help you. We will answer questions. We will reach out to you. So it's your turn to reach out to us.
