1. You feel out of your depth
No one goes into business knowing everything, and that’s ok. There will be timeswhen you feel like a total beginner, and that’s something that’s likely to keep happening throughout your entire career. Far from being a sign that you’re not good enough, it’s actually a reliable sign that you’re constantly learning and growing.
2. Your business is changing all the time
Change is a good, and inevitable, part of business. Even if your company looks different to how you mightve expected it to when you first began, it’s a result of the opportunities you’ve taken and the things that you’ve learned along the way. Gradual, ongoing changes lead to constant improvement. Even if you don’t feel like you’re growing as fast as you might like, consider where you were one year ago. If it’s markedly different to where you are now, you’re on the right track!
