Hey travelpreneur!
Can you believe we’re at issue #10 already?
I started this with the goal of sending 25 newsletter issues before determining whether to continue with this side of my business or not. But after reading this article, I’m convinced to give this experiment 52 weeks (a solid year of sharing the best opportunities for travel creators with you)!
Hit reply and let me know if you’ve been enjoying these issues and would like it if I keep going?
Anyway, I hope you had a fantastic holiday weekend and that you’re feeling refreshed & ready to jump on some of these opportunities.
But chances are good that instead, you’re feeling doubt, fear, or uncertainty when it comes to applying for these exciting travel jobs or paid writing opportunities I share.
How do I know this?
Well, the truth is most people have limiting beliefs that stop them from even trying something that they’re not sure they can succeed at.
This is unfortunate because you never know unless you try but if you never try, you’ll never know.
Doe’s that make sense? 🤔
Let this sink in…
Your wildest dreams are just one shattered limiting belief away!
If that ain’t enough to make you take action then I don’t know what is.
What would your life be like if it was exactly the way you wanted it to be today? Can you imagine for a second what that would look like?
Now tell me, why aren't you there yet?
No, it's not your poor upbringing, it's not your lack of time to get anything done, and it's not even money.
It all comes down to one word - Mindset.
We need to get honest about what is really holding us back. I want you to take the time to answer these two questions:
What beliefs have been holding you back in the past?
What are the new beliefs you are going to have to get you to follow through?
Stop telling yourself you can't do something because you don't have the resources and instead...
START BEING RESOURCEFUL!
Waiting for the perfect moment to start your journey is not going to get you anywhere! That perfect moment is not going to come. You need to get honest, get disturbed, and create the pain to change!
Know what you want, know why you want it, and create a plan and take action! There are always going to be excuses, both internal and external but when you consciously create new beliefs and stick with them you are setting the game up to win!
