Warm welcomes, IN10TIONALIST community! Today, we're taking another step on our journey towards mindful decision-making and positive change. Let's go!


 corporate training or conversation for sales growth

Ah, resistance. That pesky little voice in our heads that whispers, "You can't do this," or "This isn't for you." It's like that annoying friend who always has something negative to say, even when you're just trying to enjoy your ice cream.

 

But here's the thing: in business and entrepreneurship, resistance is as common as a caffeine addiction. And just like that double shot of espresso, we need strategies to break through it and keep moving forward.

 

1. Recognize the resistance

 

Before you can conquer resistance, you need to recognize it. Are you procrastinating? Doubting your abilities? Comparing yourself to others? These are all signs of resistance. The first step in any coaching process is awareness. So, give yourself a pat on the back for noticing!

 

2. Understand the why

 

Resistance often stems from fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, or even fear of the unknown. Dive deep and ask yourself: What am I really afraid of? Understanding the root cause can help you address it head-on.

 

3. Reframe your mindset

 

Instead of seeing resistance as a roadblock, view it as a challenge. Remember, every successful entrepreneur and business owner has faced resistance at some point. It's a rite of passage! Embrace it, learn from it, and use it to fuel your growth.

 

4. Seek guidance

 

There's no shame in seeking help. Whether it's from a business coach, mentor, or fellow entrepreneur, sometimes an outside perspective can provide the clarity you need. And hey, if you're looking for a coach with a dash of tongue-in-cheek humor, you know where to find me!

 

5. Take action

 

Sometimes, the best way to overcome resistance is to dive right in. Take that leap of faith, make that sales call, launch that product. Action breeds confidence, and confidence diminishes resistance.

 

6. Celebrate your wins

 

No matter how small, celebrate your achievements. Overcame a challenging sales call? Celebrate! Signed a new client? Celebrate! Each win, big or small, is a step closer to your goals.


Resistance is a natural part of the entrepreneurial journey. But with the right mindset, tools, and support, you can break through it and achieve the success you've always dreamed of. Remember, every challenge is an opportunity in disguise. So, gear up, IN10TIONALIST, and let's conquer resistance together!
