F.O.M.O. or the Fear Of Missing Out, isn't just a personal experience; It also happens in business.
Sometimes entrepreneurs think that they miss out on opportunities and their sought-after success because they lack or are not cut out for it Traci says this is not the case.
Today on the Women Rockin’ Business Podcast, Traci clarifies the concept of FOMO. She explains that when F.O.M.O occurs, it is related to your self-belief.
If you have true self-belief then you will understand the difference between the fear of missing out and an opportunity to upgrade your skills.
Instead, try to think about how you can ready yourself for what comes next.
Also discover in this episode, the power of the ‘I am’ statements and the ‘awareness switch’. Know how you could use them to increase your confidence. These and more when you tune in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Fear of Missing Out is a self-belief issue. That you believe 'what you have within yourself' is not good enough. Instead, believe that you’re capable, that you can offer the same value as experts in that field.
Test your new product or service that you’re about to launch. Are you using your client’s ‘language’? Are they benefitting from what you are offering?
Confidence is something that all entrepreneurs must possess. To gain a following and investors, people should see what you can offer and that you’re confident to deliver what you promised.
Positive ‘I am’ statements can help you gain that instant confidence. Examples: I am a mom, I am enough, I am successful
Traci introduces the concept of the ‘awareness switch’. When you activate the awareness switch in your brain, you become aware of opportunities that match your conscious thoughts.
We are not all the same. We attract certain people to us and our message resonates and for others, it doesn’t and that is OK, that is why we have multiple experts.
BEST MOMENTS
“If you’re staying true to the path that you’re on, you’ve already got the expertise. It is self-belief issue that you’re having, and at this moment in time, maybe an identity crisis – thinking that everybody else has the answer and you don’t.”
“I am a positive person but that does not mean that I don’t suffer from feeling negative. It doesn’t mean that I don’t suffer from negative self-talk. There are times that I can really berate myself but what I’ve done is I’ve worked on those areas. I’ve understood where they come from. I’ve understood that they don’t need to define me.”
“In times of crisis within your life, one of the things that really needs to carry you through is your business. You need stability and sustainability in your business to get you through those times.”
