Tip 234) Derail or Reframe

Love this guest post from Hils Crisp. I think this will resonate with all of us.

Being in business is not plain sailing; it will have its inevitable ups and downs. It’s basically like a freaking rollercoaster where you have to hold on, white-knuckled at times, trusting it will return to calm soon and you can open your eyes again.

Tough times can come when something ‘bad’ happens outside of you, like someone complains or asks for a refund, or your latest launch flops, or when something happens from inside you, like you start to doubt yourself and can’t make a decision, you struggle with boundaries or just feel totally stuck.

You need to build resilience to get you through the tough times so they don’t derail you – because a knock to your confidence can put you on a downward spiral of self-doubt if you’re not careful. Your self-development is as important as your business development!

So, whatever happens in life, in your business, or inside your head, remember you get to decide how you deal with it. This is good news! You have control over how you respond to any situation.

Can you re-frame ‘bad’ things and see them from a new perspective? For example, you learn an important and valuable lesson from your launch that flopped so you can re-work it, make it better and try again, or say to yourself that someone asking for a refund is actually a rite of passage (as it happens to every business).

Everything has a silver lining if you’re willing to look for it, not take things personally and are open to learning and improving.
