Don’t Believe in Yourself to Finish What You Start? 😕 You’re Not Alone – Let’s Talk Through it! [Video]

Don’t Believe in Yourself to Finish What You Start? 😕 You’re Not Alone – Let’s Talk Through it!

Do you feel like you don’t trust yourself to stick with the Collective if you were to join? Is that a reason you’re not moving forward with joining? You’re not alone in thinking that and we don’t want you to beat yourself up unnecessarily due to some past experiences. 🙅

Heather, a member of the Collective, had some similar fears before joining. She was afraid she’d spend a lot of time and energy learning the skill of grant writing, but that she wouldn’t be able to land clients. 😨

Long story short: Heather hustled to learn grant writing on the side of her full time job, made $15k in 11 months, and then felt confident to make this her stay-at-home gig when she became a mom. 👶

Here is a free training on how to build a career in grant writing: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/webinar-videos/discover-grant-writing

We learned that 46% of surveyed individuals said that they were afraid of not following through if they were to buy another online course. 56% fear not having enough time. 🕧

When it feels like you don’t have time how do you work through the course?
1️⃣ Download the app and listen to the content while you’re driving, doing laundry, washing dishes, or cooking. 🍳

2️⃣ We designed the program so that if you put in 5 hours a week consistently, you can get certified and complete your first paid funding strategy. ✅

3️⃣ It’s okay to show up to a coaching call with kiddos and chaos. 🤪 Seriously, it’s all good!

✨ Bet on you! You might not know HOW you’ll get there, but know WHY you’re going for it.

Keep in mind that you’re not a failure because you didn’t complete something else. It’s not entirely your fault as most programs do not concern themselves with your success. We literally obsess about you getting results and measuring that. The architecture of the program has a really big impact on whether you’ll be successful. 💥

It’s not just that you’re not disciplined enough! More likely than not, you didn’t finish because the program wasn’t a good fit for you, it wasn’t a priority, or the program might have been poorly designed.

Journal and reflect a bit on some of those past experiences:
🔸 What didn’t I finish?
🔸 Why didn’t I finish?
🔸 What has to be true for me to finish something in the future?
