How Clarity Helps You Overcome Doubt as an Entrepreneur

all right welcome back to the daily mastermind George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration motivation and education I want to talk to you today about some things that have been on my mind and probably on your mind over the last little while I want you to ask yourself a question do you ever feel like maybe you're you're wondering if you're on the right path you know you're wondering if you're doing the right thing when it comes to your business. Because I've had a lot of entrepreneurs lately, they've kind of talked to me and said, you know, gosh, sometimes I just want confirmation that I'm on the right path. You know, I'm struggling, you know, I'm putting in the effort, I'm putting in the work, but I just want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing. And listen, that's a common deal. I want you to know that, you know, when doubt starts to kind of creep in when you're on your entrepreneurial journey or you're in your profession or your job, that's just something that's normal. You're not alone. It's something that most people are going to do. And just know this, it's confirmation that you're actually pushing outside your comfort zone because when you start to have doubts, that's something that comes along because you're pressing the boundaries of what it is that you feel you're capable of doing. and that's a good thing. That's a really good thing and there's so many lessons that I've learned over time from owning a business, owning many businesses, having lots of employees, working with lots of entrepreneurs and training thousands of people around the world and that is that when you're doing the things you need to do, doubts will happen. There will be times that you wonder if you're on the right path, if there's something you should be doing different? Should you continue doing what you're doing or not doing? And the lesson that, one of the main lessons I guess I've learned is that many times it's not about whether or not you're on the right path or whether you're making the right decision. A lot of times you might be faced with three or four decisions. I was just talking about this with a client the other day. You might be faced with three or four decisions wondering which one's the right one and all of them may be may be right. And it's not about whether you're making the right decision or you on the right path most of the time not always but many times it not about whether you on the right path It as long as you consistent and you getting feedback and support any path will do because forward motion is what creates success. And most people fail because they don't move forward. Most people fail because they're not putting in the effort. So what you choose to be doing. And if you're on the right path, a lot of times is 90% of the key. The key is continuing to move forward because I know most people, most people that I know that have been super successful, they have come around to the idea that ultimately created the most success from them while on the path, while on the journey. And so you have to understand that motion creates emotion, creates energy, creates results. And the type of stuff that you're doing is going to create experiences which help to increase your belief, increase your confidence. And even if you're having doubts, you've got to remind yourself that failure a lot of times is the gateway to success. It's okay to fail. It's okay to keep moving. And so act in spite of your mood. Continue to do the things that you know you need to do. But here's the real key I wanted to talk to you about today. the solution if you're looking for one besides you know getting some type of a mastermind or a mentor or someone that can guide you and give you third-party validation the real key for you is going to be to create clarity because clarity of your vision is something that's going to help to motivate you clarity of your vision is something that's going to help to you know refine your game plan. And that's one of the reasons a lot of times I recommend someone get into a mastermind group or get a mentor of some kind. I've had multiple mentors over my life. Many of you know I've spent 20-25 years with some of the best minds and thought leaders and success experts out there. And that's because I've learned and I've grown. And that's one of the reasons I created the Prosperity Pillars poster that we talked about yesterday. But a mentor or someone can help you clarify your vision. Now you can do it on your own as well but the goal is to clarify your vision and the reason you want that is because like anything else the more clear and vivid something appears to you the more real it appears the more you'll be motivated and sometimes when you're just out there doing the motions and you don have a clear vision of what it is you trying to create or your strategy your plan is not clear then it hard to motivate yourself And doubt will creep in Less doubt creeps in when you have a specific plan You know, I was just reading again this morning from Brendan Burchard's book, High Performance Habits. And high performance habits is a great go-to if you're looking to figure out what it is that most people that are super successful do. Because there are habits, there are common traits. Success does leave clues. And so if you're looking for common traits and common characteristics, that's a good book, for example. It's called High Performance Habits. But the reason I bring it up is because after studying, I don't even know how many there were, but I'm sure thousands and thousands of entrepreneurs, Brendan Burchard kind of figured out that there were six habits that he felt they found were common characteristics of high-performance, high-achieving individuals. And they were kind of split into two sections, personal habits and social habits. And let me just give those to you real quick, I guess, as long as we're talking about it. It might help you to really hone in. The first three habits were personal habits that will help you to be a high-performer or a high-performance person. and this is someone who gets results. And the first three habits are seek clarity, generate energy, and raise necessity. So if you're looking to perform at a high level, you've got to have clarity. This is what made me think of this. When you have clarity, things become more motivating. Things become clearer. That clarity gives you the specific steps in what you need to do. but seeking clarity is probably the number one thing that you should be doing if you're starting to doubt, if you're starting to wonder what to do. And then, you know, if you're grinding through the path and some days you just don't feel like doing it and you act anyway, just remind yourself that generating energy and seeking a way to sort of raise the necessity of what you're doing to be a rather than a want. Those are a couple of habits that will also kick in for you. So these are the personal habits. And then the social habits would be, habit four five and six would be increasing productivity developing influence and demonstrating courage Now this podcast is not necessarily about this topic but I give you those habits because if you grinding right now and you're trying to build something, you're trying to create your vision, you're supposed to, you know, you're trying to manifest the dreams and vision of what you want to create your life to be, your business to be. Those are six powerful habits. Those are habits that are successful patterns that people have done over time to create results. Seeking clarity, generating energy, raising necessity, increasing productivity, developing influence, and demonstrating courage. So I encourage you to kind of check into that a little bit more. Read the book, get some more detail on it. But back to this point that I wanted to make with you today, and I'm going to leave you with this. If at ever you come to a point in time in your day or in your life that you're starting to question if you're doing the right thing. Just know and recognize and become aware that that is doubts that are creeping in. That's things that are common. You're not alone. That's something that's gonna happen when you're on the path to creating something great. But you've gotta push through it. You've gotta act in spite of your mood. And one of the most important ways that'll help you to do that is to create clarity. Clarity of what you wanna do, why you wanna do it, and what your plan is, because that clarity is gonna help take you through when you're struggling.
