Let Go of the Need for Approval and Embrace Your Power

Let Go of the Need for Approval and Embrace Your Power

October 12, 20242 min read

The need for approval is a trap, and it’s one that too many entrepreneurs fall prey to.

Your need for external approval hinders your growth and your ability to succeed.

At The Wolf Pack Mentors, we believe in building an environment that fosters self-confidence and self-trust.

We understand that breaking free from the chains of external validation isn't easy, but it's essential for your personal and professional growth.

Practice trusting your judgment. Practice making the best decisions you can based on your intuition and expertise.

Imagine this scenario.

You've worked on a project for months, and you're so passionate about it that you devote all your time and energy to it. But, when it's time to present the project to your potential customers, you hesitate and look around for someone else to give you the green light.

Sound familiar? If so, rest easy because you’re not alone.

The next time you face that scenario, trust your skills, knowledge and abilities. You know your craft better than anyone else. You know this, so why waste your time second-guessing your decisions?

Practice using small, everyday choices without seeking external validation. This will bolster your confidence and pave the way for you to make bigger and bolder decisions.

Focus on aligning your actions with your core values instead of someone else’s opinion.

It's easy, sometimes too easy, to get swayed by the crowd—friends, family, colleagues, social media—all noisy influences that might steer you away from your true path.

Take a moment to reflect on what truly matters to you.

What are your non-negotiables core values?

Your actions must resonate with these principles if you are to succeed.

For example, if creativity is your core value, don't let conventionality dampen your spirits.

At The Wolf Pack Mentors, we're all about authenticity. That’s why we focus on our Three Pillars of Success: Accountability, Community and Collaboration.

When you follow your passion and align your actions with your values success is inevitable.

It’s also critical to guard your mind, the thoughts you think and the thoughts of others that you allow into your mind.

Reduce your exposure to negative opinions that serve only to undermine your confidence.

Negative comments, unsolicited advice, and critical voices can cloud your judgment and erode your belief in yourself.

Listening to these thoughts is the equivalent of trying to climb a mountain with 10-pound weights tied to your feet. It’s impossible.

Create a supportive environment around you.

Identify and limit your exposure to sources that drain your energy or fuel self-doubt.

Surround yourself with positive, encouraging voices like those in The Wolf Pack Mentors Mastermind community.

Yes, you can overcome your need for the approval of others.

The Wolf Pack Mentors Mastermind can help.
