Getting rid of limiting beliefs

Slightly more than a year ago, I met an acquaintance who ran his own game publishing company.

I was in the process of producing a board game and wanted to seek advice from someone who is experienced in the field.

He fondly recalled his first game launch and the positive feedback they received.

He ended that part of the conversation with, “That was the best moment of my life.” After that, we sat in silence for a few moments.

I was hit with a profound sadness. That moment was over 10 years ago, and it felt like he believed his life would never hit another high again.

I’ve reflected a lot about that conversation — do I have any limiting beliefs holding me back?

And I discovered that I did — the biggest one was fear of failing. I have been working on side hustles for a long time without launching anything.

This year, I strove to change that. I focused on making my side hustles public.

I’m no longer afraid of putting myself out there. What a fun journey it has been!
