I am a trust fund baby. That “trust” just happened to be The United States Social Security Administration. I was raised by a blind, single mother on social security disability. For most of my life, I told myself that story, and it profoundly impacted the way I viewed myself and my childhood. The “poor kid” narrative kept me from pursuing opportunities, seeing myself as worthy, and allowing myself to take up space.
Reframing that narrative changes everything. I’m instantly filled with an immense sense of gratitude. I’m also imbued with an overpowering sense of responsibility. An entire nation of people chose collectively to invest in me. I have to make sure they see returns.
I think one of the most important skill sets an entrepreneur can cultivate (and something I still struggle with on a daily basis) is learning how to reframe events and situations so they serve us instead of holding us back.
The entrepreneurial endeavor is a massive contradiction in action. For an entrepreneur, every problem must be an opportunity. Learning how to frame and reframe our circumstances puts us in the mental mode of being able to quickly identify and capitalize on these opportunities.
