5 inspirational Quotes for my fellow online service providers
January has been a tad chaotic, hasn’t it? I don’t think I’m the only one! I remember seeing this TikTok of a lady saying how the first 6 months of the year were rough, and someone shouts in the background “It’s only January!” It was such a hilarious TikTok, but I felt seen. January felt like it went on forever. I also believe, if you’re a business owner, having to take stock of your business, your losses, and your wins, it’s daunting to go out there and do it all over again.
What if last year wasn’t as good as you wanted it to be? It may feel like a slog to try to pick yourself up and start working on that business again. But remember, January is just a month. A trial period before the year starts, if you think about it, he he he! Just kidding! Honestly, though, I’ve compiled some quotes that I love that will help you keep moving forward as an online service provider, from February onwards:
5 inspirational quotes for my fellow online service providers
“Your voice Matters. Your story matters. Your authenticity matters. Don’t silence yourself.” – Lupita Nyong’o
Period. What you bring to the world, no matter how small it may seem, is important to the lives you come into contact with. Do not ever take that for granted. Sometimes going through what people say about you, your clients, your family and friends will help you see just how much you matter to them!
“Don’t be afraid to take up space. Your voice deserves to be heard.” – Malala Yousafzai
Need I say more? There’s a corner of the world that is waiting on that unique point of view you bring. Let it ring out loud and clear. What services are you offering? What unique perspective are you bringing to the online business world that we haven’t seen yet? Your clients and your network is waiting on you!
“Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” – John Wooden
Even with quotes, I’ll slip in outsourcing somewhere!
But yes, sometimes the frustration you may feel is that what you’re not so good at is interfering with what you are good at and you need to let it go so you can concentrate on what you are good at! Get in touch with us if you need someone to run interference on your behalf so you can concentrate on what you’re really good at, and get back into your groove.
“The world needs the perspectives and brilliance of diverse voices. Don’t hold back, shine!” – Unknown
I hear a lot about “this and this business is now crowded.” Or “it’s a saturated market”.
May I put it to you that it may feel saturated if you’re trying to be anyone else but you! The beauty in diverse perspectives is that someone will relate to you and that makes them feel comfortable to want to work with you , or buy from you , or just follow you and hear more from you. Be yourself.
“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” – A.A. Milne
I couldn’t leave out my favourite quote since childhood. Pooh really knew what he was talking about. He may have been stuffed with fluff, but one thing that he had going for him was his genuine love for Christopher Robin, and I believe that gave him the insight to see who he was and who he was capable of. But I digress. Take these words to heart, and go and build your business the way you’ve envisioned it. We’re over here rooting for you!
