From Overwhelmed to Fully Booked: How She Transformed Her Business + 3 Quick Wins You Can Apply Today
Do you feel like you’re constantly working hard—taking courses, learning new strategies, and putting in endless hours—yet your income remains inconsistent? You’re not alone, and it’s a common challenge faced by entrepreneurs, small business owners, and anyone trying to build a sustainable business while juggling personal responsibilities.
Do you feel like you’re constantly working hard—taking courses, learning new strategies, and putting in endless hours—yet your income remains inconsistent? You’re not alone, and it’s a common challenge faced by entrepreneurs, small business owners, and anyone trying to build a sustainable business while juggling personal responsibilities.
One of my clients faced this exact struggle. She was overwhelmed by her workload, taking on everything herself, and trying to balance it with the demands of a child with special needs. She believed that creating a steady, profitable business in her situation was impossible.
But here’s the good news: by making a few key changes, she went on to charge high-ticket rates, get fully booked, and hit her highest income—without burning out. Below, I’ll share the 3 simple steps she used to transform her business, which you can apply too, even if you only have 2 hours a week to spare.
1. Perform a Time Audit
One of the most effective tools for busy entrepreneurs is a time audit. If you’re constantly feeling short on time, this step is critical.
Here’s how to do it: For one day, track everything you do. Record every task—emails, meetings, errands, social media scrolling, etc. At the end of the day, review your notes. You’ll likely notice time-wasting activities that don’t contribute to your business goals.
This exercise will help you identify what to eliminate, automate, or delegate, freeing up valuable time for high-priority work. Even a small shift can lead to big results when you focus on what truly matters.
2. Download Your Thoughts
Overwhelm often comes from mental clutter—endless thoughts running through your head about everything you need to do, should do, or might do.
A great way to start clearing this clutter is by downloading your thoughts. For 5 minutes, write down every thought in your mind. Don’t edit or filter—just let it flow.
Pay special attention to thoughts around time, money, and your ability to succeed. These are often the stories that keep us stuck.
3. Question Your Limiting Stories
Now that you’ve written down your thoughts, it’s time to question the ones holding you back. Ask yourself these three powerful questions:
Is this 100% true? Many of our limiting beliefs are only partially true—or not true at all.
How does this belief make me feel? This will help you recognize which thoughts are draining your energy.
What’s possible if I stop believing this? This opens the door to new solutions and opportunities.
By regularly questioning your thoughts, you can start replacing limiting stories with more empowering ones.
The Power of 2 Focused Hours a Week
Here’s the truth: You don’t need to spend all day working on your business to see results. My client didn’t either. She committed just 2 focused hours a week to key activities like:
Clearing mental clutter
Setting clear boundaries
Delegating tasks
Prioritizing high-impact work
A year later, she was fully booked, charging premium rates, and running a thriving business around her life—not the other way around. You can achieve similar results by consistently investing a couple of hours each week in what matters most.
What’s Possible for You?
Imagine your life a year from now. With just 2 focused hours a week, you could:
Be charging premium rates
Have a steady stream of high-value clients
Run your business on your terms, without sacrificing your personal life
You don’t need more time. You just need to clear the mental clutter, focus on high-priority tasks, and take consistent action. These 3 steps are a great place to start.

Stop Overworking: The Secret is Clearing Capacity
Most people think they need to work harder to succeed. But what if I told you the opposite is true?
The reason success feels harder than it should isn’t that you’re not doing enough—it’s that your mental and emotional capacity is full. Imagine a cup filled to the brim with water. If you keep pouring more in, it will overflow. That’s exactly what happens when you keep adding tasks, effort, and strategies without clearing what’s weighing you down.
Most people think they need to work harder to succeed. But what if I told you the opposite is true?
The reason success feels harder than it should isn’t that you’re not doing enough—it’s that your mental and emotional capacity is full. Imagine a cup filled to the brim with water. If you keep pouring more in, it will overflow. That’s exactly what happens when you keep adding tasks, effort, and strategies without clearing what’s weighing you down.
This is where deep work and capacity clearing come in. Deep work isn’t painful—it’s freeing. It helps you clear what’s blocking your path so you can create success with ease. Without clearing capacity, you’re stuck in a cycle of overworking, feeling exhausted, and still not seeing the results you want.
3 Questions to Help You Clear Capacity:
Where am I pushing myself harder than necessary because I feel like I should?
What mental clutter or emotional load am I carrying that’s slowing me down?
How would my work feel different if I didn’t have to carry so much in my mind?
3 Quick Wins You Can Apply Now:
Simplify your to-do list by choosing only one priority task for today.
Spend 5 minutes journaling one thought that feels heavy or stressful, and let it go.
Choose a repeating action (like a daily check-in) to help clear your mind consistently.
Client Example:
A client I worked with was constantly working late hours, feeling like she needed to do more to catch up. After we did some deep capacity clearing, she discovered that she had been carrying beliefs about needing to over-deliver to be seen as successful. Once we cleared those beliefs, she stopped overworking and started creating better results in half the time.
Deep work and capacity clearing aren’t about doing more—they’re about removing what’s making things harder. When you clear what’s slowing you down, you create space for clarity, ease, and faster results.

Overcoming the Terror Barrier: Why Hard Work Alone Isn’t Enough
Have you ever set a big, audacious goal only to feel overwhelmed by fear, doubt, or worry right before taking significant action? That’s what we call the Terror Barrier. It’s not a sign to stop—it’s proof you’re growing. In this post, I’ll show you how to identify, understand, and overcome the terror barrier so you can move forward with confidence.
Introduction:
Have you ever set a big, audacious goal only to feel overwhelmed by fear, doubt, or worry right before taking significant action? That’s what we call the Terror Barrier. It’s not a sign to stop—it’s proof you’re growing. In this post, I’ll show you how to identify, understand, and overcome the terror barrier so you can move forward with confidence.
What Working Harder Looks Like at the Terror Barrier
When most people hit the terror barrier, their instinct is to double down on effort. It’s a natural reaction—if something isn’t working, surely doing more of it will fix the problem, right?
Here’s what “working harder” often looks like:
Adding more to-dos: Trying to tackle every possible task, often without prioritization.
Longer hours: Sacrificing evenings, weekends, and personal time to push through the discomfort.
Perfectionism: Getting stuck on small details instead of moving forward with bigger actions.
Avoidance disguised as productivity: Spending time on less impactful tasks that feel “safe” instead of tackling the hard, meaningful work.
While these behaviors feel productive in the moment, they’re often a way of avoiding the real issue—facing the fear and discomfort that come with growth. Overworking in this way doesn’t move you closer to your goal; it drains your energy and reinforces the belief that you’re not enough.
Awareness—3 Key Questions
Ask yourself these questions when you feel stuck:
What is my current fear or doubt trying to protect me from?
(Hint: Your brain’s job is to keep you safe, even if the threat is only perceived.)Am I making this discomfort mean something about me or my goal?
(For example: “This must mean I’m not capable” or “I’m not meant to have this.”)What would I do next if I knew this fear was a sign I’m on the right path?
(Reframe discomfort as growth, not failure.)
Quick Wins—3 Actionable Steps to Break Through
Accept the Terror Barrier as Part of the Process:
Remind yourself: discomfort is inevitable when you’re growing. Normalize it instead of resisting it.Understand What’s Happening in Your Brain:
Your brain equates stepping out of your comfort zone with danger. Write down the thoughts and fears you’re experiencing. Simply labeling them as “brain resistance” can reduce their power.Reframe and Take Action:
Create one small step you can take today that aligns with your goal. Pair it with an empowering thought like, “This fear means I’m doing something big and worthwhile.”
Client Story:
One of my clients, hit her terror barrier after setting an ambitious business revenue goal. For a year, she tried to work harder—longer hours, endless to-do lists, constant hustle—but the results didn’t match the effort. She started to believe that her goal wasn’t meant to happen.
When we worked together, she realized her brain was resisting change and keeping her in the familiar (though exhausting) cycle of overwork. By applying the three steps above, she stopped spinning her wheels and created a focused plan that didn’t rely on overworking. In three months, she saw more income and productivity than she had the entire previous year.
You may be thinking…..
“I’ve been working harder for a year, and nothing’s changed. Why would this be different?”
Here’s the truth: effort alone doesn’t guarantee results. If your actions stem from fear and resistance, you’ll burn time and energy without making meaningful progress. By changing the stories and thoughts driving your actions, you’ll create aligned results without the constant grind.
What is the cost of working harder without clarity? Lost income, productivity, and the most valuable resource of all—time. The sooner you step through the terror barrier with intention, the sooner you’ll see results that match your dreams.
Closing Thoughts:
Don’t let fear dictate your future. The only way past the terror barrier is through it, and once you do, you’ll come out stronger, braver, and ready to take on even bigger dreams.

Maya’s Story:
Maya used to wake up dreading her to-do list. It was always too long, and no matter how much she got done, it never felt like enough.
Now, her days look different. She spends her mornings on her most important tasks, delegates the rest, and gives herself permission to enjoy her evenings without guilt.
She has more clients, more income, and more peace—not because she’s doing more, but because she’s doing what matters most.

How to Work Differently and Achieve More
Maya thought success meant doing everything. She handled every detail, fixed every problem, and made sure everyone was happy. But in trying to do it all, she was spreading herself too thin.
It wasn’t until she stopped and asked, “What if there’s a different way?” that everything started to change.

Why Working Harder Isn’t Always the Answer
Meet Maya again. She’s successful, driven, and ambitious—but she’s also exhausted. Her days are filled with endless to-do lists, late nights, and a constant feeling that she’s not doing enough.
Maya believed that success came from outworking everyone else. But no matter how much she did, she couldn’t escape the feeling that it wasn’t enough.
Here’s the thing: Success isn’t just about effort. It’s about focused effort.

Here’s the thing: Success isn’t just about effort. It’s about focused effort.
Maya’s Story:
One week, Maya stayed up late every night fixing small mistakes her team made, replying to emails that weren’t urgent, and reworking a presentation to make it “perfect.”
By Friday, she was physically and mentally drained. What did she have to show for it? A clean inbox and an updated presentation, sure—but the key project she’d been meaning to tackle all week? It didn’t even get started.
She realized that all her hard work wasn’t moving the needle. She wasn’t working on the things that actually mattered.
3 Awareness Questions:
Take a moment to reflect on your own habits:
Are you spending hours on tasks because you think they need to be perfect?
How often do you say yes to things that don’t align with your goals?
Could your desire to control everything be keeping you from real results?
Why Working Harder Can Backfire:
Working harder feels like the right thing to do when you’re trying to succeed, but it often leads to:
Burnout: You can’t give your best when you’re running on empty.
Missed Opportunities: Focusing on the wrong things means the important things get left behind.
Frustration: Despite all your effort, it feels like success is always out of reach.
Maya learned that the key isn’t to do more; it’s to do what matters most.
You May Be Thinking or Hear Yourself Say...
“If I don’t do it all, no one else will.”
But is doing it all helping you get closer to your goals? What if someone else could handle it just fine?
“I’ll lose opportunities if I don’t do everything perfectly.”
Perfection can slow you down. Often, good enough is all you need to move forward.
“I don’t know how to let go of control.”
Letting go doesn’t mean giving up—it means focusing your energy on where you create the most value.
3 Quick Wins for Today:
Say No Once: Identify one task or request today that doesn’t align with your goals. Politely decline or delegate it.
Focus for 25 Minutes: Set a timer and work only on one task that directly impacts your success.
Reflect on Progress: Write down one thing you’ve done this week that moved you closer to your goals.
What’s Next?
If you’re tired of working so hard and still not seeing the results you want, it’s time for a change.

Maya’s breakthrough came when she stopped trying to do it all and started focusing on the things that truly mattered.
What if you could create more results by doing less?
Let’s find out together.
Are You Working Too Hard for the Results You Want?
Let me tell you about Maya. She’s an immigrant businesswoman who’s built a life and career through sheer grit and determination. Maya works harder than anyone she knows—fixing problems before they happen, triple-checking every detail, and carrying the weight of everything on her shoulders.
Let me tell you about Maya. She’s an immigrant businesswoman who’s built a life and career through sheer grit and determination. Maya works harder than anyone she knows—fixing problems before they happen, triple-checking every detail, and carrying the weight of everything on her shoulders.
But here’s the catch: Despite all her effort, Maya feels like it’s never enough. There’s always more to do, more to fix, and more to prove.
Sound familiar?
Here’s a question for you: What if working harder isn’t the answer? What if success doesn’t come from doing everything but from doing the things that matter most?
Maya’s Story:
Maya started her day at 5 AM, answering emails and preparing for client meetings. By the time her team arrived, she had already solved a dozen problems and taken on another dozen tasks that weren’t even hers to handle.
She believed that if she didn’t do it all—and do it perfectly—everything would fall apart. But this cycle left her exhausted, frustrated, and wondering if all her hard work was even worth it.
One day, Maya paused and asked herself: “Why am I making this so hard on myself? What if I trusted myself to focus on what really matters?”
That question changed everything.
3 Awareness Questions:
To start shifting how you work, ask yourself these questions:
Do you feel the need to fix problems before they even happen?
How often do you take on extra work because no one else will do it as well as you can?
What would change in your life if you focused on just the essentials today?
Why Working Harder Isn’t Always the Answer:
For many of us, hard work is ingrained in our identity. We believe it’s the only way to achieve success, especially when we’ve had to fight for every opportunity. But here’s the truth:
Hard work is only effective when it’s focused on the right things. When you’re trying to do it all, you spread yourself too thin, and the results often don’t match your effort.
Maya learned this the hard way. Her constant overworking didn’t prevent mistakes—it made her more likely to miss the bigger picture. By focusing on what mattered most, she not only achieved better results but also found the time and energy to enjoy her success.
Do you hear yourself saying:
“If I don’t do it all, things will fall apart.”
The truth? Things will fall apart faster if you keep exhausting yourself. Trusting others and focusing on priorities creates better outcomes.
“I don’t have time to focus—I just need to get everything done.”
When you focus on what matters, you’ll actually save time. Spending less energy on busy work frees you up for tasks that move the needle.
“I’ve tried letting go, but it didn’t work.”
Letting go isn’t about abandoning responsibility—it’s about doing the things that truly drive results. Success comes from strategic effort, not sheer volume.
3 Quick Wins for Today:
Here’s how you can start simplifying your workday today:
Write Down Your Top 3 Priorities: Start your day with a list of three things that matter most. Ignore the rest until these are done.
Let Go of One Task: Look at your to-do list and cross off one thing that isn’t essential.
Celebrate One Win: Take a moment to reflect on something you accomplished this week, no matter how small.
What’s Next?
If you’re ready to stop overworking and start focusing on what matters, I’ve got something for you.

Maya’s life changed when she realized that working harder wasn’t the answer. She learned to focus on what truly mattered, and the results spoke for themselves.

Stop Overworking and Start Thriving: A Smarter Way to Business Success
Maya did everything right—or so she thought. She signed up for the courses, joined masterminds, listened to podcasts, and read every book she could get her hands on. She knew exactly what to do to grow her business.
But the results didn’t come. Frustrated and stuck, she found herself overworking on tasks that didn’t matter—like rebranding her logo, perfecting her website, and endlessly overthinking her social media content.

The Learning and Overworking Trap
Maya was stuck in a cycle of learning more and working harder, convinced the solution lay in being the perfect student. But in business, success isn’t about knowing more or working harder. It’s about taking the right actions.

When Maya started coaching with me, we made a shift. Together, we:
Stopped the cycle of overlearning and overworking.
Identified high-impact actions that drove results.

The transformation was powerful. Maya let go of perfection, embraced intentional action, and watched her business thrive.
How You Can Make the Shift Today
You don’t have to stay stuck in the learning and overworking cycle. Here are three shifts you can start making today:
Shift from Busywork to Impactful Work: Prioritize tasks that drive results, like sales and client relationships, over low-impact details like logo tweaks.

Facts are neutral, but the stories we create around them can be draining. For example, a missed deadline becomes “I’m terrible at time management,” which leads to emotional fatigue.
2. Making Things Personal Amplifies Exhaustion
When you personalize failures, like thinking “I’m not good enough” instead of “That strategy didn’t work,” you add unnecessary emotional weight. This makes recovery harder and success feel out of reach.
3. Limiting Stories Create Mental Clutter
Each time your brain creates and believes a limiting story, you add unnecessary mental and emotional workload. This clutter keeps you from focusing on what truly matters.
What’s the Solution?
Clearing these stories frees up your capacity to focus on impactful actions. Imagine more clarity, energy, and time for what truly drives results.
But consider this: If you don’t address these limiting beliefs, how will another year of exhausting hustle feel?
Here’s what one client said:
"Ruth helped me clear the mental clutter that was holding me back. In just a few months, I started making decisions faster, working smarter, and finally achieving the balance I had been craving."

9 Strategies to Clear Capacity, Create Ease, and Maximize Results Without Sacrifice
Do you often feel that running your business leaves no room for life’s joys? Many believe the only way to succeed is to hustle harder, but that’s a myth. Real success comes when you focus on three key areas: clearing capacity, creating ease in action, and maximizing results without sacrificing your well-being.
Do you often feel that running your business leaves no room for life’s joys? Many believe the only way to succeed is to hustle harder, but that’s a myth. Real success comes when you focus on three key areas: clearing capacity, creating ease in action, and maximizing results without sacrificing your well-being.
Here’s how you can start achieving more while enjoying your life.
Clear Capacity: Free Up Your Time and Energy
Feeling overwhelmed often stems from carrying too much. These strategies will help:
Batch Decisions: Streamline repetitive choices to save mental energy. For example, meal prep on Sundays or schedule similar meetings back-to-back.
“No” List: Say no to low-value tasks and commitments that drain your energy. If they don’t serve your goals, they don’t serve you.
Energy Audit: Reflect daily on tasks that gave or drained energy, then adjust your next day to focus on energizing activities.
Create Ease in Action: Work Smarter, Not Harder
Taking action doesn’t have to feel like a grind:
Micro-Goals: Break tasks into small, actionable steps to avoid overwhelm. Completing these steps builds momentum.
Action Stacking: Make challenging tasks more enjoyable by pairing them with a fun activity or habit.
Embrace Imperfection: Aim for progress, not perfection. Completing a task at 80% quality often beats holding out for 100%.
Maximize Results Without Sacrificing Life
Success and life enjoyment can coexist:
Set Life Boundaries: Protect personal time (e.g., weekends, evenings). It keeps you grounded and recharged.
Daily Wins Practice: Acknowledge your progress daily to maintain momentum and avoid burnout.
Use Time Multipliers: Invest time in setting up systems that save you time later, like automating business processes or delegating tasks effectively.
Here’s what one client said: “Before working with Ruth, I constantly felt like I was spinning my wheels. I was overcommitted, emotionally drained, and barely making progress. After learning how to clear my capacity and set boundaries, everything shifted. In just a few months, I doubled my productivity and finally had time for my family—and myself.”
You might be thinking, “I don’t have time to add one more thing to my plate.” But here’s the reality: You’re already spending the time—just not in ways that are helping you create the results you want. By learning and applying these strategies, you’ll free up time and energy to focus on what truly matters.

Discover the Power of Capacity Clearing: Make Room for What Truly Matters
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the mental, emotional, and physical “clutter” that builds up in our lives. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly stretched too thin, Capacity Clearing might be the key to creating space for what truly matters.
What is Capacity Clearing?
Capacity clearing is a process of letting go of what’s no longer serving you—whether that’s unhelpful thoughts, outdated habits, or unnecessary tasks. By clearing these, you create room for new opportunities, greater freedom, and the mental space to focus on what’s truly meaningful.
Why Does It Matter?
Mental Space for Clarity: With fewer distractions, decision-making is easier, and you’ll find yourself more present and focused.
Emotional Room for Growth: Releasing emotional “clutter” allows you to reconnect with what brings you joy and purpose.
Physical Space for New Energy: A clear, organized environment creates a space where inspiration and new ideas can thrive.
Now, think about another year without this extra capacity. Imagine the same goals left unfulfilled, the same mental weight holding you back. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Start your capacity-clearing journey with a free consultation, and let’s create a life filled with more freedom, ease, and progress.

Turning Obstacles into Pathways for Easier Growth
Obstacles can feel like a roadblock, but sometimes they’re just pointing us in a better direction. If you’ve ever felt stuck or frustrated, it might be because you’re viewing the challenge as something to fear instead of a chance to learn.
Obstacles can feel like a roadblock, but sometimes they’re just pointing us in a better direction. If you’ve ever felt stuck or frustrated, it might be because you’re viewing the challenge as something to fear instead of a chance to learn.
1. Recognize the True Nature of Obstacles
Many obstacles reveal areas where you might need new strategies or support.
For example, if you’re short on time, it may be prompting you to set firmer boundaries or prioritize the tasks that matter most.
2. Ask the Right Question
Instead of “Why is this happening to me?” try “What is this guiding me to change?”
This shift opens your mind to new possibilities, whether that’s delegating tasks, seeking a mentor, or dropping activities that aren’t essential.
3. Reframe, Then Act
Once you see an obstacle as a guide, consider one small action to address it.
If finances are an issue, outline a simple budget. If self-doubt creeps in, give yourself a quick moment to list past accomplishments.
Reflection:
What if the roadblock you’re facing today is actually a clue for your next big opportunity?
Conclusion:
Obstacles aren’t always detours; they can be the path itself. When you stop viewing them as threats, you allow new ideas to emerge. The more you lean into this approach, the more you’ll find progress feels easier and more rewarding.

The High Cost of Not Believing in Your Worth
Do you often find yourself working harder, hoping others will see your value? I’ve seen this many times with clients. They accept the first salary offer, take on extra work, and wait for someone to recognize their worth. But waiting to be noticed can be costly—not just financially, but also mentally and emotionally.
Do you often find yourself working harder, hoping others will see your value? I’ve seen this many times with clients. They accept the first salary offer, take on extra work, and wait for someone to recognize their worth. But waiting to be noticed can be costly—not just financially but also mentally and emotionally.
Why This Matters
Lost Income: When clients don’t recognize their worth, they miss out on financial rewards. I’ve seen clients hesitate to negotiate a raise or accept the initial offer simply because they don’t feel confident advocating for themselves. I help them see their value more clearly, leading to higher pay and greater opportunities.
Overwork: Many clients think doing more will prove their value, but this often results in more exhaustion and less recognition. I help clients shift their focus to adding value where it truly matters, allowing them to work smarter, not harder.
Limited Growth: By waiting for others to see their worth, clients miss out on promotions and growth. I help them identify their unique contributions, articulate that value, and confidently communicate it in future negotiations.
Real-Life Transformation:
A client I worked with regularly accepted the first salary offer, believing she had to prove her value before asking for more. She stayed late, hoping to be noticed. When we started working together, I helped her identify the real value she brought to the organization and where she could focus her efforts for the greatest impact. We also practiced communicating that value during negotiations, which increased her confidence.
The results? She earned more, set boundaries, and felt more in control of her career. She stopped waiting for others to see her worth and started advocating for herself.

Three Ways to Discover Strengths You Didn’t Know You Had
Do you ever feel like you’re working too hard but still not reaching your goals? It might be that the strengths you already have aren’t being noticed or used effectively. Sometimes, we’re so busy looking for the next big idea that we miss the gifts right in front of us.

1. Recall a Recent Win
Why It Matters:
Looking back on a positive result can show you the skills you’re already good at. Maybe you gave a great presentation or solved a tough problem. Ask yourself what made that moment possible, and you might uncover a key strength you didn’t realize was special.
Try This:
Write down what you did well during that win.
Think of at least one way you can use that same skill in another project or area of your life.
2. Ask a Friend or Colleague
Why It Matters:
Sometimes our closest strengths feel so natural that we barely notice them. Asking a trusted person for their honest view can reveal qualities or talents you overlook.
Try This:
Ask someone to name one thing they think you do exceptionally well.
See if their insight points you toward a skill you haven’t fully recognized.
3. Notice What Feels Effortless
Why It Matters:
If something comes naturally to you, it might be a hidden edge. This could be organizing details, connecting with people, or spotting solutions quickly.
Try This:
Spend a week tracking tasks that feel easy and see which ones lead to results.
Consider how you might put more time into that activity or skill.
Poll or Question Prompt
Once you spot a hidden strength, which of these challenges usually stops you from using it more often?
Feeling stuck about where to apply it
Struggling to balance life and work
Doubting whether it’s “good enough”
Trying to manage too much mental clutter
Choosing one can help you see the path forward more clearly.
Conclusion
Discovering new strengths doesn’t always require big changes. Small shifts in how you notice and use your abilities can bring more ease to your day. Take a little time this week to reflect, ask someone you trust for input, or pay attention to what you handle effortlessly. You might be surprised at how much potential is waiting for you to use it.
Enjoy exploring your strengths!

One of my clients, an immigrant businesswoman, often felt that others’ negative perceptions were holding her back. She thought, “I’m not good enough because of others’ opinions.” This led her to feel discouraged and doubt her abilities.

Instead of letting others' opinions hold you back, see them as challenges to overcome. Remind yourself that you are capable and worthy of success.Use Criticism as Feedback:
