In life it seems like we have been conditioned early on to get approval from someone regarding everything we do. The problem is, once we become a woman, then we still think we need approval. Don’t you think you are enough of a grown up now, to grant self-approval? Trust me, you will deal be dealing with a much more agreeable ‘Board of Directors’ if you are the CEO of your life!
Why do we seek others approvals?
1) It’s what we are taught as children--- and then rewarded for our success. Speaking. Walking. Leaning. Achieving.
2) As Adults, it’s how we move forward in Society---recognition in school, you move to the next grade. Approval at Work, you get a promotion.
3) Appoint yourself CEO of your Life and take action. You will be the only one that needs to approve action which will shock you at your success, (failure that leads to success) and your shortened timeline! Welcome to the Next Episode of For the WIN –The Womens Wealth and Impact Network—I am your host, Karen S Schaefer and I am so glad to have you here.
Today, we are going to talk about Whose approval we are waiting for now. The other day I had written a sales letter that needed to go to our project manager for a Masterclass we are creating for all of you that comes out in January. I sent it to my husband because I always value his opinion and then waited to get it back with any notes before we added it to the file for our Project Manager. I waited and waited. The problem was, I needed to be able to create other pieces based upon this sales letter. I still had a video to do, an outline, a Landing Page and so on but it all hinged on this Sales letter, which by the way, I was really proud of as it said exactly what I wanted it to say. I felt as though it really conveyed my true intention and spoke to my audience. Still waiting… Finally, I realized that while I valued Pete’s opinion, I didn’t need his approval. It was a lightbulb moment for me. Go back to being a kid---what happens when we do something expected of us? Then talk about work history Come to today—who do we seek approval from and why? Do we need it? What is the difference between an opinion and seeking approval? Turns out Pete really liked the Sales Letter too and he did offer me some feedback which I was able to incorporate. But it was ME that was looking for approval---HE wasn’t looking at it like that at all and HE WAS BUSY. Appoint yourself CEO of your own life, choices, decisions and actions today. Renew your contract every year and what the heck, give yourself a raise. I know I am in it to WIN it…what about you?
