3 steps to let go of what’s holding you back

Early on in business, I didn’t like talking about my story. I didn’t like how my Crohn’s disease and my childhood experience, feeding myself with a tube down my nose just to grow, made me feel like a victim.  Then one day a mentor pulled me aside and taught me that my story was what made me relatable. He taught me that my hardships, that overcoming the sick-kid-narrative that I had to grow through, was inspirational and helped me connect with others.  Your story is what brings people together and creates a connection with them. It’s your story that helps people decide if they want to do business with you or not.  Every setback in your past is the opportunity for a comeback in your future.

Taking on the Unexpected

It's the Tuesday after the last long weekend of summer...I can't think of a better time for a little #MomentumMonday motivation! Whether you run your own business, are a student or a parent of kids going back to school -- September is a GRIND. It's so easy to give in and give up on your #goals whether they be financial, fitness, family or anything else. That's why the topic for today's post is 5 Reasons You Can't Quit Yet. Before you say, "what do you mean can't quit YET?!" - let me explain myself. In my business, everybody eventually quits, but there are two types of quitters. You're either someone who builds a business that’s so successful that you can eventually step back and stop working altogether. Or, you're someone who quits along the way when things get hard. Either way, everyone quits eventually. The difference between the two groups is that the first group doesn't quit until they plan to. I think everyone has the capacity to be in that first group. And today I'm going to give you five reasons why it's not time for you to quit. 5 Reasons You Can't Quit Yet 1. Remember who’s watching. 2. If not you, then who? 3. You didn’t need it to be easy; you needed it to be possible. 4. Everyone quits, and you were born to be different. 5. The job isn’t done yet. Tune in this week as I dig into these five points.

The importance of having a mentor and how his mentors have shaped him into who he is today. 2. Finding new mentors as he grew (and when he least expected them). 3. What he does to intentionally build his team - based on what he has learned from the mentors that have built into him. No matter who you are, these ideas apply to you.

Selfish is the New Black

About 4 years ago, I went through a really tough season of life where I felt completely stuck. I felt stuck in my business, my relationships, my health -- everything. I felt like I would never be able to make a change and get out of the rut I was in, and even if I could, I had no idea HOW. Fortunately, I was surrounded by some phenomenal #mentors who were able to help me. They helped me put my ego aside, realize the things in my life that were holding me back and gave me the support and wisdom I needed to MAKE A CHANGE. What I learned from this experience was that we all get stuck, it's a fact of life. The real challenge is taking the necessary steps to get un-stuck. A lot of times we think we need to keep adding stuff into our lives to change. When in reality, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to LET THINGS GO. To create space for new beginnings and #growth, we need to let go of things in our lives that aren't serving us. We need to let go to move forward. Today's #MomentumMonday is about just that. 6 Things to Let Go of So You Can Move Forward: 1. Your old identity. 2. A relationship or friend. 3. Grudges. 4. One non-serving thought pattern. 5. Physical clutter. 6. The idea that we CAN’T change.  Tune in this week as I dig into these six points.

The Power of Your Story

The main difference between an average person and a successful person is that successful people work hard whether someone is watching or not. An example of this is getting up early – nobody is watching at 5am when you wake up and start your morning routine. But this is what you need to do if you want to expand your business, if you want to lose weight/go to the gym, if you want something to change!    Getting up early and having a morning routine is everything.   Tune in this week as I share six strategies that I use to keep my motivation for getting up and sticking to my morning routine:   1. Prepare the night before.  2. Anticipate the challenges.  3. Start small.  4. A habit only takes 21 days to form.  5. Have an accountability partner.  6. Don't let the exception become the standard.    sholbrook.com Join me in my blog as I explore Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Self Improvement.

Why People Quit

The dictionary defines failure as "the lack of success." With that definition in mind, I think we all can admit that we've failed in every area of our life at some point. But that's not something to be ashamed about. Look, we all fail, but it's not failure that defines us. It's how we react and respond to failure that matters most. So many people today are so scared of failure that they let it hold them back from ever stepping out and starting something. With that relationship to failure, they will never accomplish anything. Instead, we need to choose to fail forward. By fail forward, I mean we need to embrace our failures, learn from them and let them guide us to our next successes. Tune into today's post to hear me dig into the 5 reasons to embrace failure in your life. 1. Failure makes you stronger. 2. Failure helps you appreciate your wins. 3. Failure is experience - nothing more, nothing less. 4. Failure is going to happen, no matter what. 5. Failure eliminates fear.  sholbrook.com/five-reasons-to-embrace-failure Join me in my blog as I explore Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Self Improvement. sholbrook.com Audio Podcast!  https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/momentum-monday/id1412766160
