Jenn is incredible at her craft, and the 5 items in the list are she can provide, and then some! We dug deeper though, and went into why it’s so important to believe in your own brand. The skinny below.
The 5 Tips to Believe in Your Own Brand:
Change your story – The story you continue to tell yourself will inevitably become the story of your life. Change it so it actually serves you.
Smile file – When you have doubts – and which entrepreneur doesn’t – dig back into your smile file to keep going. It’s these notes, compliments, and high fives from others that will remind you that yes, you are doing a fantastic job, and you’re right where you need to be.
Find a community – No one can go at it alone, we just weren’t designed to. Find a community of people that speak to your soul.
Commit – Recommit to the work you’re doing. There will be more boring and hard days than not, so it’s imperative to remember the commitment to yourself and those you’re serving.
Define your mission – And finally, if you have defined your mission, the why of your work, it will make entrepreneurship so much more enjoyable. Define it and keep remembering it!
Jenn even added a FREEBIE for all subscribers (and anyone else reading this post)! Access it here.
