Phrases like “You aren’t capable of ___” or “You can do it, but you need MY help” can be disheartening. These comments are not just words; they plant seeds of doubt, making you question your competence and value. Overcoming these toxic narratives is key to building a successful business and staying true to your vision.

How to Rise Above:
Turning Doubt into Fuel: Instead of letting negativity hold you back, use it as fuel. Let others’ doubts inspire you to achieve your goals, not for them but for yourself.

In the world of business, there will always be those who question your capabilities, either openly or subtly. The key is to remember that your value isn’t determined by their words or approval. You have the strength, the vision, and the ability to succeed. By believing in yourself and surrounding yourself with supportive people, you can rise above the doubt and thrive in your business.
Remember, success isn’t about proving your worth to others—it’s about embracing your journey, learning, and growing along the way.
