Mindset/Discipline/Advice
Fore warning I'm going to be as transparent as possible.
Context: I'm 23 yo with a 22 month old daughter. I'm a single father with split custody still living with my Grandmother. I have 5 months to build my mobile detailing business enough to pay bills before I will be joining the workforce again. With the boohoo stuff aside you can imagine how i feel as a father still living with my Grandmother.
I have been reaching out to multiple businesses to gain both referrals and connections. On other days I go out to "farm" at high-end malls and shopping centers near me. I struggle some days with simply getting out of the car on those farm days. I feel/ and feel like I look stupid walking up to people when I barely get bookings. I am genuinely broke. I believe in my vision for my business but do not feel like I'm making significant progress due to my cash flow currently.
My questions are, of you that are very successful, how did you get over the hump of feeling like an idiot every single day?
What is a mentality shift I need to have to feel successful without the success in front of me?
Most importantly how do you remember this every single day?
I have the motivation to make things happen, simultaneously I find it hard to get out of the car and face no's for 4 hours & still have no money on these farming days. I love talking to businesses. It makes me feel as if I'm making genuine progress, the farming days feel like I'm a begger desperate for cash.
I know this is truly my only opportunity at the moment to set both myself and my child up for success in the future yet my mental in the moment is pure embarassment. I think people know that when they talk to me.
What can I do or change? I know my position is so much easier compared to others which makes it that much more embarrasing when I don't get over the hump.
I appreciate any advice amidst your busy days, it will genuinely mean more than you know for any words of advice.
