“ I ain’t in a Slump – I’m just not Hitting!”

 One of my favourites, Yogi had a way of saying things that hit the nail on the head - in a funny kind of way. I would be willing to bet that every entrepreneur or self employed person has at least once a week - that nagging doubt - that voice that says "Am I doing the right thing?" Not just self employed people either - people in the corporate world especially in today's economy may not feel comfortable - with a proverbial axe over their heads. My day is Thursday - for some reason that's the day my gremlin shows up. It shows up as a nagging unease in the gut, and can if I let it stop me from getting up in the morning. So how do we stop this little guy or gal gremlin in it's tracks? Face up to him or her, acknowledge his or her existence and try to understand what message s/he is giving you - thank him/her for their input - say " Thanks for the advice" - and get moving. Just keep moving - do something - action works. If you are sitting at your desk and stumped for an idea, take a walk! Change the scenery. Self doubt is a real killer, it can kill your business and your confidence. Keep telling yourself how great you are - I mean it - it works! Believing in yourself is key to moving forward, if you don't believe in yourself no-one else will. As Yogi says "That's how I kept myself positive, by not getting all Negative." Ah - what great words of wisdom! Keep positive - your slump will disappear - keep believing in yourself. You are FANTASTIC!
