The Mental Paradigm Development for Entrepreneurs course is loaded with relatable, life changing modules and I got to learn from real life entrepreneurs who are doing well in business and to hear their stories which have been a roller coaster. My favourite modules were:
1.How to Fail
The course moderator, Mrs. Veronica Mphathi, who is the co-founder of SEC, shared her real-life hard failures from some of her businesses which I could relate to and got healing from that because all along I have been thinking I’m not good in business due to many failed attempts of my entrepreneurial journey, only to appreciate that FAILURE IS PART OF SUCCESS. I found closure in the module, and I’m motivated to keep on trying until I get it right.
2.Challenging your Comfort Zones
The key lesson that I picked is that we need to embrace discomforts of every sort as a catalyst for growth. I took the lessons seriously, as of now I task myself to do something that is out of my comfort zone every week.
My SEC coaching sessions were therapeutic, in the sense that I was given an opportunity to reflect on situations, events and moments that could still influence my paradigm in a negative way. From the first coaching session I got healing, understanding and acceptance of the things that happened a long time and still had an influence on the way I think. Right now, I’m over those moments and hello to the new ME.
The second coaching session was on “steroids, filled with endorphins”
. The session continued to wash off my limiting paradigms/beliefs. One specific paradigm that I had from way back is that ‘I’m not a morning person’ …well, my coach brutally told me if I’m serious about being a high performer, that “labelling” needs to change. Happy to inform you that the girl is a now a 4am club member. How incredible!
In a nutshell, the SEC course is a germ that every person needs to experience, and it always feels like should I have shifted my paradigm way back, I could be a far in life both professionally and business wise. Like my coach said there are two types of people i.e. 99% who know what needs to be done, and DON’T do it and 1% who know what needs to be done and DO it. It’s up to an individual to try and commit to be among the 1%.
I must say it is not easy, most days on the journey are HARD, which is where the results are made. The anxieties that come with having a lot of ideas to implement because of the shift in the mental paradigm. After all the shift is always a Work-In-Progress.
Cheers!! See you at the TOP.
