There is something wonderful about working and getting paid. The exchange feels good, and when the exchange of product or service for payment is frequent, frenzy can happen. Work can be busy, hard, taxing and time consuming. Conversely work can be slow, snail paced and none existent.
Entrepreneurs are generators, or they are dead in the water ducks.
- What happens to the psyche, when nothing is happening on the work front?
- What happens to self-esteem and confidence?
There is a money monster called Useless, and it suggests that you are tanking, that business is all dried up, and in your worthless nose dive state, it might be wise to hang-up your briefcase, close the computer, and drop into funky despair. You are labeled useless. The threat to emotional well-being is real, until you recall an important fact; you are not a walking talking dollar sign. Your net worth is not wrapped up in the number of deals you complete, or the digits signifying money in your bank account. Your value doesn't drop like a stock market point, when the potential client turns into a no and says something like, I went with the other guy or gal.
Take a good look at you. You are inestimably valuable, with or without the deal, the dollars, the yeses. The question is, do you like what you do? When you work with people, do they trust you, and are they grateful for your presence in their life? At this point you are thinking what I am suggesting is to not worry, and be happy and you are also thinking that this drivel won't pay the bills. You are right, it won't, that part is still up to you.
My driving point is this: don't allow the label useless, be sewn into the fabric of who you are.
