4 TOP traits of highly successful people... that you can learn from being a beginner

Most small business owners only have FUN in their business when they are GOOD at what they are working on – when it comes easy, when they see success quickly, when they see results easily, when they feel they are the best of the best at it.

Can you relate? Do you naturally have a shitty time when you are bad at something or are learning something new and it DOESN’T come easy to you?

Well, let me ask you this… How much more likely would you see results if you had fun with the skills you were shitty at, so you kept at them and actually enjoyed the process and finally became good at them to the point that it led to results?

Business is a lot like sports. And when you play a sport, you usually start out as a beginner and work your way to expect status while having fun along the way. But most business owners look at their business in the complete opposite way.

Today you’re going to learn some of the top lessons from being an all-star high school sports benchwarmer and how these lessons translate into being a SUCCESSFUL small business owner.

During today’s episode, we’ll chat about:
- How to leave everything at the door when you step foot on the court
- How to show up every day, even IF you aren’t “good” at what you are working on, UNTIL you get better
- How to be a team player and cheer others on even when things AREN’T going your way
- How to have FUN with your evolution – rather than only having fun when you are good at something – even if you are a type A perfectionist
- How to get back to foundations when you lose a game

Clear & effective communication!

Great podcast from Monica Little! She talks about the power of integrity, changing your mind-set to get stuff done and being accountable (both personally & professionally). The podcast is geared towards small business owners, but really so much of what Monica explains can be applied to various parts of anyone's life. She articulates so accurately many of the thoughts I have about the challenges of being a small business owner. It's reassuring & comforting to hear Monica break it all down in a comprehensive way in order to overcome the struggles. My favorite take-aways were how she explained that believing in yourself = FREEDOM and "how you do one thing is how you do everything".

I’m Learning So Much!

I love listening to Monica’s podcast as a handmade small business owner! She offers so many tangible tips within her episodes that have helped me to believe in and grow my small business. Episode 2 was very helpful as she discusses the power of integrity and using a habit tracker. I loved this concept and will begin to use one. I can relate to so many of the stories she tells about running her own handmade business. Thank you Monica for all of these episodes! I cannot wait to listen to more.
