How to stay motivated as an entrepreneur
Lauren emphasizes the need to move away from competition and embrace collaboration. This shift in mindset is crucial in creating an environment where everyone can thrive and succeed. Leveraging relationships and seeking accountability are crucial factors in overcoming obstacles and achieving growth. Lauren emphasizes the importance of community and collaboration as resources for support and guidance.
Mindset also plays a huge role in entrepreneurship. Lauren and Christy highlight the need for a positive and focused mindset, while acknowledging that it is not necessary to be positive all the time. The key is to maintain a mindset that allows for growth, resilience, and adaptability. A supportive community can provide encouragement and help entrepreneurs stay motivated.
The power of manifestation
Lauren uses manifestation to envision the person she wants to be and the path she wants to follow. By thinking about and embodying this desired persona, she is able to align her thoughts and actions with her goals. Lauren shares a specific routine she practices in the morning, where she writes down things she is grateful for that may not currently exist in her life. By doing this, she is putting herself in the mindset of already having those things and experiencing the emotions associated with them. This exercise helps her to think and act like the person she wants to become.
Practicing manifestation can have a profound impact on your mindset and actions. By consciously thinking and feeling like the person you aspire to be, you are more likely to make choices and take actions that align with your goals.
Overcoming doubt on the journey towards success
You may not know it, but there is a connection between your thoughts and physical reactions. The body physically reacts to the thoughts and beliefs we hold. If we consistently tell ourselves negative or limiting things, our body will respond accordingly. Be mindful of your thoughts and beliefs and try to actively choose positive and empowering ones. By envisioning and embodying the person you want to become, you can align your thoughts and actions with your goals. This practice, combined with the support of a community, can help you overcome challenges and achieve success in your business endeavors.
There are challenges and doubts that will arise on the journey towards success. Lauren shares her own experiences of uncertainty and self-doubt, emphasizing the importance of listening to one's community and being open to feedback and support. By seeking input from others and staying connected to a supportive network, individuals can overcome obstacles and stay motivated.
