Here are a few things you really need to know about yourself:
- You are not a procrastinator.
- You are not a poor time manager.
- You are not a perfectionist.
- You are not a struggling business owner.
- You are not a smoker.
- You are not even a lousy joke-teller!
You are none of those things, yet those labels are commonly used by people, when they refer to themselves. Although people almost say they are open minded and always open to fresh ideas and strategies, they tend not to stray too far from their comfort zones. They give themselves a label and then use it, as if they were set like a statue; without the ability to change and improve.
The problem with that approach, is that we can only grow when we explore new ideas and insights and put what we discover into action.
This means losing those negative and factually incorrect labels and adopting a less confined approach to our development.
As a marketing coach, part of my role is to help clients rethink their limitations. For example, many of my clients, who now have extremely successful newsletters and blogs, started off by telling me they were poor writers. Others said they were perfectionists, so couldn’t write because nothing would ever be good enough for them to actually use. Others said they lacked the confidence to successfully market their business with me, yet have grown into extremely confident business people. That’s because all those labels are temporary.

What limiting labels do you currently use to describe yourself?
Are they really you or just a temporary state, which you haven’t addressed yet? Anyone can learn to be; motivated, confident, creative or attractive. In fact, just about every character trait you see in the people you admire, you can acquire. All you need is a strategy and some help to put the strategy into play.
