The other day my husband asked me how I've stayed so committed to my coaching business over the last 7 years. And because he's also a coach, and understands the power of our mindset, he asked what thoughts I choose to fall back on when being an entrepreneur feels especially tough.

Here are the top 6 thoughts that have kept me 100% devoted to my business over the years — even (and especially) during the hard moments:

1. "This is my life's work"

When I think about this business as a big part of my life's purpose, and why I'm here to begin with, it pulls me out of any temporary drama. I feel calm and reconnected when I remember the bigger picture.

2. "Of course I'm supported"

I believe I am deeply supported in living out my purpose. If this is what I was made to do, of course the Universe will conspire to support me. I know I'm held by a higher power. I just have to keep showing up.

3. "I'd choose the hard parts of entrepreneurship over my old job any day"

In the wise words of Elizabeth Gilbert: “The question is not, 'What do I love? ' The question is, 'What do I love so much that I don't mind eating the sh*t sandwich that comes along with doing that thing?"

4. "This is part of the game"

There is no shame in things feeling hard. Being challenged in new and different ways is part of being a business owner, and knowing this comes with the territory prevents me from judging myself (and feeling worse) during tough moments.

5. "I'm willing to pivot"

There are literally hundreds of things I can and would try before giving up on my business. And because I'm not entertaining the idea of quitting, I have the brain space to come up with new ideas.

6. "I'm willing to feel it ALL"

I’m willing to feel intense things (like vulnerability, rejection, disappointment, and failure) that come with putting yourself out there. To me, the benefits (like getting to do what I love, and creating time and financial freedom) are SO worth it!

Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone…

But if you know in your core that it's for you, that this is exactly what you're meant to be doing with your life…
