        &lt;p&gt;In this episode, I share an insightful response to a question presented in a recent session of my Next Level Coaching program. A participant asked for advice on how to handle it when others don't understand, and perhaps even question or doubt the unique vision you have for your business or entrepreneurial ventures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I open up about my own experience with my mastermind group questioning my decision to leave Podcast Answer Man behind and pursue my current coaching and mindset work. I emphasize the importance of being your own number one cheerleader, and how seeking encouragement within yourself through journaling, prayer, and meditation is crucial.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also discuss the role of a supportive spouse, if married, and the value of having a peer group that believes in you, even if they provide constructive feedback. Navigating the motivations behind others' doubts is key - some may fear your success or feel threatened by your ambition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, I share that if you can't be talked out of your vision, even by your closest advisors, it's a testament to how vital that vision is for your future. Your number one cheerleader must be you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Takeaways and Action Items:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Consider others' feedback carefully, evaluating it for new perspectives and potential pitfalls you might have overlooked. If, after reflection, you still believe your vision is worth the inherent risks, others' skepticism will likely strengthen your commitment to your desired outcome.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You must be your own best cheerleader and source of encouragement.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If married, foster a supportive partnership with your spouse.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Surround yourself with a peer group that believes in you and your vision.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understand the motivations behind others' doubts and feedback.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

023 - Your #1 Cheerleader Must Be You!

Description

In this episode, I share an insightful response to a question presented in a recent session of my Next Level Coaching program. A participant asked for advice on how to handle it when others don't understand, and perhaps even question or doubt the unique vision you have for your business or entrepreneurial ventures.

I open up about my own experience with my mastermind group questioning my decision to leave Podcast Answer Man behind and pursue my current coaching and mindset work. I emphasize the importance of being your own number one cheerleader, and how seeking encouragement within yourself through journaling, prayer, and meditation is crucial.

I also discuss the role of a supportive spouse, if married, and the value of having a peer group that believes in you, even if they provide constructive feedback. Navigating the motivations behind others' doubts is key - some may fear your success or feel threatened by your ambition.

Ultimately, I share that if you can't be talked out of your vision, even by your closest advisors, it's a testament to how vital that vision is for your future. Your number one cheerleader must be you.

Takeaways and Action Items:

  • Consider others' feedback carefully, evaluating it for new perspectives and potential pitfalls you might have overlooked. If, after reflection, you still believe your vision is worth the inherent risks, others' skepticism will likely strengthen your commitment to your desired outcome.
  • You must be your own best cheerleader and source of encouragement.
  • If married, foster a supportive partnership with your spouse.
  • Surround yourself with a peer group that believes in you and your vision.
  • Understand the motivations behind others' doubts and feedback.
