How to be okay with making mistakes and be more resilient

In this video, I'll be sharing 4 ways for you to get comfortable with mistakes and failure - and be more resilient in pursuing your goals.

I recorded in a ‘livestream’ fashion - all real, raw and in the moment. 😄

I shared 4 ways to get comfortable with mistakes and failure including

  • A little experiment you can do to loosen your intense fear of making mistakes (scary, but effective) 

  • How it’s important for us to feel our discomfort instead of avoiding or denying it

  • Why it’s good to keep trying new approaches even though this means we will fail and make even more mistakes

What does a fear of failure look like? 3 common signs

In this YouTube livestream (this is my first!), I shared 3 common characteristics of someone with a fear of failure for your self-awareness and self-discovery.

As an entrepreneur or a self-employed person, I think it's good for us to know if we have a fear of failure and slowly work on it.

Thats’s because having this fear is going to hold us back from many opportunities, from business growth and from personal growth.

Watch this video if you are curious to see if you have a fear of making mistakes and failure :).

Two ways for mindful goal-setting to avoid overwhelm

In this episode, I will be sharing two steps for mindful goal-setting which will motivate you to work on them. It’s important for us to set goals which are not overwhelming or anxiety-inducing because if our goals induce fear, anxiety, or nervousness in us, we are likely not going to refer to those goals as the days go by.

How to manage perfectionism in business

If you have been frustrated with yourself for taking too long to...

  1. Launch something

  2. Publish (a free and helpful) lead magnet to your audience

  3. Create free podcast eps and YouTube vids

… maybe you are being a little perfectionistic in your business :)

It can happen if we grew up in an environment where mistakes were not tolerated.

Or perhaps you have worked in an office where mistakes carry heavy consequences. 

One way to get some control over our perfectionism is to do this quick exercise below.

Much of perfectionism is due to our ‘all or nothing’ thinking patterns.

I’ve also recorded a 10-minute video last week to share how we can gain some control over perfectionism as a business owner:

I recorded the video using a not-Zoom software and it was not as smooth, admittedly.

I hope the video will help you understand why you make business decisions the way you do. And hopefully you will feel less alone as a business owner who has perfectionism tendencies.

See you in my next email, video or podcast ep :)


Take care.

Using your intuition to run your business

Have you used your intuition to make business decisions? What was the outcome?

Have you used your intuition to make small business decisions before? What was the outcome? You can share your experience here :)

Hi there! Thank you for joining me in this episode today. I feel called recently to experiment with running my business in an intuitive way, following my inner voice and my inner guidance.

I have seen how coaches claim that working with their intuition helps them run very pleasurable businesses, makes business feel so easy and they also claim that abundance - or money - comes flowing in buckets when they run their businesses following their inner guidance.

I am curious to see if this is a sustainable or practical way of running a business. I am not saying that intuition is not important when it comes to business, but I am interested to see how I can merge my inner guidance and intuition with the business demands of our 3D practical, real world.

If you are new to me, I’m Shikah and I create done-for-you workbooks and masterclasses which coaches can sell to their clients. I’ve been running my business for 4 years now, since the global lockdown in year 2020. I have always run my business in an intuitive manner, I would say that I run my business with 60% intuition and 40% logic. I want to increase the percentages to be 70% intuition and run my business using my intuition more often. I will be experimenting, I will be trying out law of attraction techniques, energetic techniques and sharing the results with you guys.

I am not referring to grand scale results, but I am referring to little, tiny, everyday results of running my business the intuitive way. I want to see if conducting our business using our intuition will result in more ease and more money.

How long will this experiment last? Probably it will be a lifelong experiment - I don’t know. I will share my experiments and results for as long as I feel the inclination to do so.

To start off this experiment, I’ve followed my inner voice and created this podcast episode. It doesnt sound like much. But the intuitive feeling I get feels like a mix of curiosity and excitement. It’s not an over-excited feeling. Imagine a dog excitedly wagging its tail. It’s not that type of over excitement. But the excitement I feel to go through this experiment feels as though it is something I look forward to doing everyday.

I feel happy to do these micro experiments and see the results. So I’ve followed my intuition and inner voice this week to go through with this experiment. The result so far? I feel pumped, I feel excited to create podcast episodes all over again.

In the past, I love creating podcast episodes too, but they feel like a business necessity more than something fun, you know?

Any downsides to following my intuition to go through this experiment? Well, I realise that I may have to be more vulnerable to the public if I do this. I have to share my real business experiences, the real mental and emotional struggles that I’m sure many of us face whilst running our businesses.

So yes, being more vulnerable and more open is a downside in my opinion because I am a 100% introvert.

So share with me, have you followed your intuition regarding your business recently?

Have you taken any small steps driven by your intuition? And what was the result? You can email me your experience or leave a comment.

I’ll see you in my next episode. Bye.

Have you used your intuition to make small business decisions before? What was the outcome? You can share your experience here :)
