Many small business owners close when they are embarrassed when they fail the company, they are so much with their work. This is complicated when they lose money from the people they know. What do we do with this shame?
Side Small Business Radio shows this weekI met Dr. Abbie Maroon “Work continues in the work of progress: It continues to be a fresh perspective in the role of a shameful role.
- Healthy Shame: He plays a motivator for self-improvement and growth.
- Toxic Shame: causes insufficient feelings and feelings of decreased self-worth.
To recognize and apply the shame
Dr. Marono offers the following steps to walk the feelings of shame:
- Admit the shame: Accept that the feelings of shame are a natural response to failures.
- Reflect the source: I understand why you are not caused by shame and unrealistic expectations or external pressures.
- Do not draw attention to the desire to run through these feelings, or to run through unhealthy habits.
- Update negative thoughts: Change your perspective to see failures such as personal disadvantages, learning opportunities.
The effect of social media
Social media can increase feelings of shame by providing an unrealistic picture of success. Entrepreneurs often compare themselves with others, cause insufficient feelings. Dr. Marono advises:
- Limit the use of social media: Take the time spent on social platforms.
- Note your visit: Please note that not the struggles behind the social media, not the successes.
To allocate the identity of work outcomes
Entrepreneurs need to develop a feeling of itself, regardless of their business achievements. Dr. Marono recommends:
- Explore personal values and interests: Operate for joy and performance.
- Set support network: Search for support from mentors, friends and specialists who can promote perspective and encourage.
Practical steps to move on
DR Marono for those who are deprived of shame:
- Set the time limit for fear: Allow yourself to feel emotions, but 48 hours to process them, for example, for a while.
- Take operational steps: Note the practical steps to prepare a new business plan or move forward as you seek professional tips.
