OM DENNE EPISODE
Starting something new, especially a business, almost always triggers the same emotional pattern: excitement, effort… and then the moment when results don’t come as quickly as you hoped. In this episode of the Notes from an Entrepreneur in Progress series of I Have Notes, I break down the self-doubt cycle that many entrepreneurs experience.
From the initial burst of motivation to the “crickets” phase that often follows, I talk about why self-doubt shows up, how it causes many people to pull back from the very actions that would create success, and why that reaction is what actually stalls progress.
But recognizing this cycle can help you interrupt it.
So this episode focuses on two key tools: keeping your vision of your future self front and center, and learning to notice when your brain is reacting to temporary results rather than objective reality. When you understand the pattern, you can choose to keep moving forward instead of retreating.
If you’ve ever launched something, heard crickets, and immediately wondered if you’re not cut out for it, this episode is for you.
