Are You Ready to Break out of the Chains Holding You Back?
Are you ready to break out of the chains holding you back from the future you want to create? The chains that I am speaking of are not physical chains. Physical chains can be easily opened with a key in a lock. I am talking about the mental and emotional chains that often keep you trapped.
These mental and emotional chains are keeping you stuck as an employee, rather than the entrepreneur that you hope of becoming. If you want to transform from an employee to an entrepreneur, you must begin to make specific and concrete lifestyle changes.
I understand what it is like to be trapped by the chains of the golden handcuffs of a relatively high-paying job. I felt I could not leave. My livelihood was tied to a job that over time did not give me an opportunity to grow and expand. Like you, I enjoyed my work when I first began. It was thrilling and exciting to travel, interact with the public, and to use my creativity. However, later in my career, the satisfaction I felt from my work was lessened. I knew that had to make a change.
Today I will share with you three key lifestyle changes to take as you ponder the question, ” are you ready to break out of the chains holding you back?”.
1. Envision a Different Future
Can you envision a different future for yourself?
Once I was able to envision a different future for myself, I began to make plans to leave. I decided to focus on one of the enterprises that Dexter and I had just started. Dexter and I have been serial entrepreneurs for more than thirty years. Therefore, a few years before I retired, I really increased my efforts. I decided to focus on how I could help other professionals like myself, break out of the chains holding them back. I wanted to take what I learned during a successful career that involved public speaking and strategically positioning an organization for a different purpose.
Can you envision a different future for your life? Are you ready to break out of the chains holding you back?
Look for a different pathway for your life. Perhaps you can use your knowledge, skills, and abilities in a unique way and for a different purpose.
2. Change the Stories that you Tell Yourself
During this process of envisioning a different future for myself, I had to change the stories that I told myself. I had to stop saying: “I should be satisfied where I am.”
What stories are you telling yourself?
“I can never be rich.”
“No one will ever want to be my client.”
“I need the security of this job.”
Are to ready to change your mindset? Are you ready to break out of the chains holding you back?
3. Learn New Habits
I had to learn new habits. I began to get up early in the morning before going to work and started writing a business plan.
I began to network with other entrepreneurs to test the possibilities. Networking with other like-minded professionals seeking to serve others by sharing results-oriented strategies has been rewarding. I have learned to develop new ways of presenting myself and showcasing my expertise.
What new habits must you learn, if you are going to break out of the chains holding you back? Must you become more studious because you need additional education? Perhaps you will need to learn how to say “no,” so that you can have more time for what is important to you.
Whatever new habits you must learn, always remember the future you are envisioning and why you are making the change.
Conclusion
As you begin to envision the future you want to create and decide whether you are ready to break out of the chains holding you back, be prepared to make specific and concrete lifestyle changes.
The three lifestyle changes that I suggest are:
1. Envision a Different Future
2. Tell Yourself New Stories
3. Learn New Habits
Each of these lifestyle changes will move you closer to your goal of breaking out of the chains that are holding you back.
