Embracing Change in Personal Growth and Entrepreneurship
For those involved in personal growth in entrepreneurship, embracing new challenges is essential. As entrepreneurs building businesses while leveraging the very basis of technology, we are constantly forced to change our mindset. We also need to change our thinking processes. Do not get stuck in legacy. It’s important to adapt to change quicker than what that shot of tequila goes down – and we are all well aware that this list goes on.
Adaptation Requires More Than Just Learning
However, the one thing we can control is equipping ourselves for the disruption by focusing on personal growth. Furthermore, as entrepreneurs driven by growth and disruption, finding a niche and uplifting the community is imperative in this ever-changing world. We’re going to have to do more than that to get this right – we constantly need to be challenging ourselves.
Reading, audiobooks, observing, webinars – all of this is fantastic and creates insightful conversation around the fire or the dinner table. However, unless we are completely open to change, open to being wrong, open to constructive criticism – we can read as many books as we like, but we will never really grow unless we implement.
Micro Equals Macro: The Simplicity of Growth
Out of personal experience, I constantly challenge myself to bring my A-game (small side note, some ADHD in there as well). I am also aware that it can often be overwhelming. There is so much to learn, absorb, and gain. We also repeatedly need to take a breath. We must realise the equation is actually simple: Micro Equals Macro. If you do what you can every day and constantly challenge yourself, the result is inevitable. This leads to entrepreneurship growth.
The Power of Encouragement and Reflection
I recently met up with an old friend whom I hadn’t seen for a good catch-up in almost a year. It was reviving to see that despite having had completely different journeys over the past year, with completely different circumstances, we had both grown. We could share stories, bounce ideas, and talk collaborations into the odd hours of the morning.
We had both invested in our personal growth regarding entrepreneurship. Moreover, we had both been open to change and exploring different views on diverse topics. However, despite the stimulating conversation and the great food, one thing hit me hard. It was, “My friend, I am so completely proud of you.”
You’re Doing Better Than You Think
This immediately caused me to tear up (and to those who know me, will know how rare this is). There I sat on the kitchen counter, utterly speechless. At that point, I took a breath.
In this constant, incredible journey of striving towards personal growth, we forget that Micro Equals Macro. We forget that by following this basic equation, the result is inevitable. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves (or have a friend, in my case) that we are doing perfectly fine. As long as we keep pushing, keep striving, and keep challenging ourselves, we are actually doing it right.
