706: The Power of Duality in Entrepreneurship (Mindset & Self-Care)
Manage episode 489504639 series 3558923
In this episode, I talk about the idea that we can hold two seemingly opposite truths at the same time - and how that can actually be where our real growth and success as entrepreneurs live.
I'm so glad you're here for another mindset-focused episode of Eat Blog Talk. Today, I’m diving into a topic that’s been heavy on my heart lately—duality in entrepreneurship. As entrepreneurs, we often think we have to fix our flaws before we can feel successful, but what if it’s actually about holding space for both our strengths and imperfections? I'm sharing a story from the Flavor Media Summit that beautifully illustrates how powerful it can be to embrace the “both/and” in ourselves.
Action Plan:
1 - Acknowledge duality in your journey: Notice when you’re feeling two things at once and give both feelings permission to exist.
2 - Resist the urge to fix yourself first: You don’t need to wait until you’re fearless or confident to move forward—just start.
3 - Stay present in your imperfections: True success comes from showing up, even when things feel messy or imperfect.
4 - Honor your contradictions: You can be both proud and nervous, grateful and overwhelmed—this is normal and powerful.
5 - Practice naming the dualities: Say them out loud or journal them—“I am both X and Y”—to build resilience and self-compassion.
