Today we’re chatting about five assumptions that you are likely having right now that are really blocking you from getting the things that you want so badly. We generally assume the worst to protect ourselves, we put on that armor based on previous experiences. But we need to find a way to reverse these negative assumptions because they are severely blocking your success.
Assumption #1: This isn’t going to work
If you are assuming before you even start that something in your business is not going to work, you are correct. It’s not going to work. It might be hard to hear, but it is the truth. What we think comes to be.
You may fear that it’s not going to work, but do not reinforce that over and over again by telling yourself, “this isn’t going to work.” I hear my clients already moving on to plan B before they’ve even executed plan A. We have to be so careful with our language, and our internal dialogue.
Assumption #2: I’m Annoying
“I’m annoying people because I say the same thing over and over again”, “I’m annoying because I post too much”. This doesn’t have to be a verbal thing that you say, but if you are assuming that you are annoying people, you’re probably not going to take action.
Let’s assume the opposite. Let’s assume that people are excited to hear what we have to say, that the right ideal client is going to hear what we have to say and be ready to buy from us.
Assumption #3: I’m being judged
The “I’m going to be judged” stops us from showing up the way that we need to show up.
A lot of times the assumptions come from a place inside where we don’t want to be judged because we’ve changed our mind, or we’ve pivoted.
Nine times out of 10 they’re not judging you, they might not even be paying attention to you. We are so close to what we are doing in our business that any move that we make, feels magnified to us. But in the online space, people are not paying close attention to you. And if they are, they’re excited to see the new things that you have planned, and they want to hear your thoughts.
Assumption #4: They’re not interested
Why are we doing this? Why are we assuming the very thing that we don’t want?
Let’s assume that they are interested. What would our conversation look like then? How would we show up then? You are going to manifest exactly what you are assuming.
Assuming that they’re not interested, is blocking yourself from the thing you want.
Assumption #5: They are going to say no
They’re going to say, “I’m not interested”, they’re going to say, “It’s not for me”, they’re going to say, “Next time.” Why are you assuming that? It could be true, but moving into a conversation like that will guarantee a “no” anyway.
I know you don’t want to get too disappointed, but just assume that it’s going to work and throw your best shot out there. A good assumption doesn’t hurt you, it only directs your energy in a more positive way and helps you take action that is more aligned and intentional, and even joyful.
Your mindset changes things
When you lead with positivity, these assumptions, which are really just a poor mindset, will vanish. You’ll find yourself automatically assuming the BEST instead of the WORST.
