Here are 3 main ways you stop yourself putting your business out there, I have been there too!

1. Fear of rejection

Rejection is the ultimate insult to a sense of belonging.

What if I put myself out there and no one comes to me? How will that make me feel?

Will it trigger the old wounds of unworthiness and shame? Will the usual rhetoric start, “I knew no one would want to come to me!”. “No one ever listens to me anyway, told you so”.

Vulnerability gets a bad rap because many of us live our lives in fear of being seen for who we really are.

We have been conditioned to feel not good enough or worthy enough or … whatever enough.

And so, we spend a lot of time trying to fit in. Whether it’s in a work situation, with our friends and even our family.

"Fitting in" lends to an image of manipulating ourselves

One definition of the saying “you can’t fit a square peg into a round hole” says that it describes the unusual individualist who could not fit into a niche of their society.

Now here my friends in my opinion is where the problem lies.

It is the use of the word “unusual” which when we are talking about a person could be better described as “unique” individual. At the end of the day we are all unique and we are all individual.

So here’s my journey through this exact problem.

A journey to living a fulfilled life happens when you honour your own values and you live by them. When you are incongruent with your values you may be living someone else’s life and you may form bad habits or become lost in trying to find yourself.

Understanding what you value is less about looking outside and wondering what you should value, or what society says you should value, looking at what everyone else is doing and thinking this is what therefore you should do.

Understanding your value system is an inside, personal job that is best done on your own or with the help of a professional who has no agenda, instead someone who holds space for you to help you tease out the information for yourself.
