What I saw when I stopped blaming myself

Hello.
I am Masami Kawanishi,
a specialist in increasing revenue streams for salons.

Yesterday, I attended a monthly seminar
held by the community I am part of
to update my business knowledge.

During the seminar,
we were divided into Zoom breakout rooms many times

to share what we felt with the people we were attending with,

and the story of the person I was paired with
really resonated with me right now,

and yesterday, with a fresh perspective,

I accepted that I take longer than others
to fully grasp things.

The person I was with is a very successful
hair and makeup artist,

and they are someone who works with people that many entrepreneurs
would recognize if they opened social media now... they are truly a wonderful person,

but it took them three years to get here,
and a lot happened during those three years,

and they shared how, after trying out advertisements,
they felt a disconnect between their messaging and the clients coming in,
thinking, 'Wait, the clients coming in are a bit different...'

They told me about how they decided to rebuild their lead flow,
and ended up remaking all their recruitment pages and such.

From my perspective, their glamorous and successful appearance
was very impressive,

but I realized that behind the scenes,
they had thought things through many times until they were satisfied,
and had been remaking things.Also,
they helped me realize something important.

When I shared that I am the type of person who works with intuition,
and that the services I provide are

programs for creating courses aimed at people with similar rich sensibilities,

they said, 'I get it,'
and empathized, saying that because they are in the hair and makeup industry,
they have those moments too ^^

We had a lively conversation about how we can't put out things we aren't satisfied with,
and how it takes us longer than others
to create things until we fully grasp them.and so on.

And then, at the end,
they also said, 'I've accepted that I'm just someone who takes time.'

The confusion I've been feeling lately
suddenly clicked into place!

While talking to this hair and makeup artist,
I realized that lately, within myself,

I had been thinking that because I am an instructor,
I have to get my work done quickly!
I have to be able to create things without taking as much time as possible!

I suddenly realized that I had thissense of pressurelike that.

Since this is a business, not a single yen of revenue is generated while you are
agonizing over this and that.

If this takes too long and you never release anything to the world,
it won't last as a business (^^;

When I asked myself if it was really like me to rush into releasing something out of
a sense of pressure that it 'has to be this way!',
the answer was 'no'.

So, I think it takes me longer than others to be fully convinced,

but I've reached the conclusion that I should accept that part of myself completely,
and just be more myself and natural! ^^

Is there anything
that you are pressuring yourself about, thinking it 'has to be this way'?

If there is...
I hope today's article will be an opportunity for you to
take that weight off your shoulders
and accept yourself as you are.
