Welcome back! In this episode, I am sharing a VERY important reminder about a topic every new and aspiring female entrepreneur needs to hear: there’s no real competition! (YAY!) I'm sharing my own personal journey with comparisonitis and unpacking why someone else’s success doesn’t take away from your own opportunities (because it doesn't!)

info_outlineIn this episode I chat with Gillian Galambos, a new entrepreneur with Arrowpost Digital Marketing. Gillian recently made the bold move of leaving her corporate 9-5 job to pursue her fulfilling passion of owning her own business and making an impact. Gillian talks about her journey from feeling stuck to finding her direction, and all she had to learn to make the life-changing transformation.
During our conversation we chat about:
- The pressure to get a “big girl job” out of college even if it doesn’t feel right.
- How focusing on personal development and her mindset changed her life.
- Her limiting belief that she had to have a business degree and be an extrovert in order to become an entrepreneur.
- Limiting beliefs and how they hold us back from what we are truly capable of.
Powerful Insight:
- “So much of what you want to do has to come down to training your mindset that you can do this and it's possible for you, when a lot of the times your biggest obstacle is yourself and your negative self-talk that you might be having.”
- “Changing my mindset to be like I can really design my life how I want it to look…I’m still now fully realizing all the possibilities that there are and how I can do this now, which I never would’ve been able to do this before.”
- “Once you get out of your own head that this is how it has to be…how it has to be for the next potentially 30 or 40 years of your life and start thinking of what actually you want your life to look like and allow yourself that space to really dream, anything that you want is possible if you are willing to set aside your fears around it.”
- “It is almost like you couldn’t see it as a possibility because you are so stuck in how you think things are supposed to be.”
Tips to move you forward on your journey:
- Follow your intuition and explore it - “I think that if you have that little voice of some sort…that your intuition is telling you something isn’t right, be open to exploring the possibility of what else you can do.”
- Find your Tribe - “Try to find other women who are in a similar situation because I feel like it really makes all the difference, is just being able to have someone to talk about these things with…Having people who understand where you are coming from really helps, I find, when things get tough. Because it is not always smooth sailing. It’s a lot of ups and downs.”
- Work on your mindset - “ You have to work on your mindset. That for me was the #1 change probably, was all the work that I, all the new things that I was doing to improve my mindset that I had never even heard of a lot of it…like doing gratitude lists, for example. I try to do that daily. I started listening to podcasts, which I had never really done and I started reading more…like self development books.”
