As copywriters, we feel a bit of doubt every day.
We all had thoughts:
- "I'm not smart"
- "I'm not good enough"
- "So-and-so is better than me"
Doubt often paralyzes us:
We think - "what if?"
- "What if things don't go as I planned?"
- "What if I disappoint my client?"
- "What if he doesn't respond?"
Or we have friends or loved ones who will remind us of our shortcomings:
"What makes you think you can do that?"
"If it's such a good idea, how come someone else hasn't done it?"
"That will never work."
These words become so loud that we stop taking action.
We feel hopeless and can't make a significant change; this is how we will live the rest of our lives.
NO! you can make a change.
You just need to find a strong reason "why?".
What is the next step to this?
Ask yourself:
- Have someone ever done this remotely close to what I want to do?
- Have people who say "that will never work" tried it? Are they experts on what works and what doesn't?
- Do you want to keep listening to them and live a life like they want, not like you want? after all, it's your life...
Create a list of wants and don't wants.
Start with don't wants first.
For example: I don’t want to work a meaningless job.
Then create a list of wants:
For example: I want to live financially free
Then what you need to do is ask WHY 6 times to each of the “don’t wants” and “wants”.
"I don’t want to work a meaningless job"
Why?
I don’t find purpose in it and feel exhausted all the time
Why?
…
Do this exercise if you feel doubt in yourself
I promise it will help, just like it helped me.
