The Hidden Impact of Negative Energy
Your mindset is everything. When you’re surrounded by people who make you feel small, you:
- Start doubting your decisions.
- Hesitate to take risks that could grow your business.
- Compare yourself to others instead of focusing on your own goals.
- Lose energy and motivation to push forward.
Negative energy can sneak in from social media, family, and even people in your industry who seem “further ahead” in business. But here’s the truth: if their presence makes you feel judged, it’s not helping you—it’s hurting you.
Real-Life Example – Breaking Free from Judgment
I’ve been there. For years, I felt like I was “too much”—too outspoken, too impulsive, too different. I believed the people who made me feel that way. But once I started removing those negative influences, something amazing happened:
- My confidence grew.
- My personality shone through in my business.
- I attracted the right people who valued me for who I am.
- My business thrived because I stopped trying to fit someone else’s mold.
You don’t have to fit a certain business model or follow someone else’s path. You just need to do what works for you.
How to Identify and Remove Negative Influences
Here’s how to clear out the negativity and surround yourself with the right energy:
- Pay attention to how you feel. If someone consistently makes you feel judged, drained, or inadequate, that’s a red flag.
- Limit your interactions. Reduce the time you spend with people who don’t support your vision.
- Unfollow and disconnect. Social media can be a breeding ground for comparison and judgment. If certain accounts make you feel “less than,” unfollow them.
- Surround yourself with support. Find mentors, friends, and communities (like Ladies With Tradies) that lift you up instead of dragging you down.
- Trust yourself. Your path is yours. Stop worrying about what others think and start making decisions that feel right for you.
