When my previous company was barely making it, at a certain point we noticed we had the potential to be the best in our market. So we just started to make choices that were coherent with that intention.
The investments, the people we hired, the communication we had... We were not faking, but not even limiting ourselves because numbers were not that great, yet.
We knew we had the qualities, and our customers were the best testimonials to realize we were doing something amazing. We just needed the rest of the world to see that.
It's like a husband/wife encouragin their partner, telling them their so good - but the rest of the world just doesn't know, yet.
Words are the expression of what we think, and the way we perceive ourselves is influencing every single choice or action that we make, so yes: be positive! :)
What do you mean by this? "We just started to make choices that were coherent with that intention." You mean you were making investments into the business as if it's already doing well?
We started to think as if we were already the N1 in our market. Investments as well - though our resources were not that big, at the beginning - were following the direction of who we wanted to be. Often we had to wait more than we desired to realize certain projects, but once all the pieces joined together, we were hitting over 50% of the market in our niche. So, I guess it worked pretty well! :)
Outstanding!
You got it! :)

I realised this about myself after I took the big 5 personality test!
So grateful to you do sharing Charlie’s interview. I loved it - it was so rich in learnings. Like you, Jessie’s words stayed with me
It all starts with how we treat and look after ourselves. Many times we can be too harsh.
And thank you for the mention Melissa, I really enjoyed our episode of Millennial Masters.
