GIRL CODE: Notes
MY BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM THIS CHAPTER:
CHAPTER SIX
There’s No Time for Bullshit When You’re Building an Empire
“Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.”
– Hillary Clinton
Here’s one thing that doesn’t fit into the equation when growing your business: drama.
The environment you surround yourself with in life and in business is crucial for your happiness, health, and success. It’s impossible to reach your goals when toxic people and energy vampires surround you. Developing a dream team of people to help keep you afloat is key. And it doesn’t necessarily have to consist of your best friends or a huge staff. Sometimes the people who support and inspire you the most can be found in the most unassuming places. Including – and especially – within yourself.
You may have already noticed that your path to success has ruffled a few feathers – and I’m not just talking about with strangers. You’ve probably experienced some backhanded compliments, a few negative comments, or just flat-out disapproval from friends, family members, or peers. Unfortunately, as we evolve, it brings stuff up for other people. Big stuff. And it’s not always pretty.
People will project their own fears and limiting beliefs onto you and your dreams. People will assume that just because they can’t do something, you can’t either. This is especially challenging to deal with when it’s coming from people that you know love you. You expect their support, but it doesn’t always come packaged up in a pretty pink bow. Often times even though they may want the best for you deep down, their own experiences overshadow that support and you just don’t get what you need from them.
One of the biggest issues that surfaces for women entrepreneurs is the change in friendship and relationship dynamics. I’ve had countless clients come to me for coaching who have either lost touch with or had major drama with friends they were once close to. I’ve also worked with women who have had trouble with unsupportive partners who feel threatened in some way by their success. Here is something important to remember: you will evolve. Not everyone will get it. Evolve anyway.
When it comes to friendships, those who love and support you will continue to do so even when life takes you in different directions. Some of my best girlfriends are moms with small children. I don’t have kids, but I completely respect their path in life, the way they respect mine. Our lives could not be more opposite, but we always take the time out to check in with each other and offer our support. In fact just the other day I was sitting in the airport waiting to catch a flight for a business trip, texting with my best friend who was at her daughter’s Pre-K graduation. The fact that we lead very different day-to-day lives doesn’t get in the way of our friendship in the least bit.
