Seeking Approval Externally vs. Internally
About this episode
Listen in to today's short & sweet episode, as I share how for most of my life, similar to others, I looked for validation and approval from the people around me.
Recently, I learned I carried this into my business & need to start turning inwards for validation and approval rather than seeking it externally.
Key Takeaways
1. External validation can hinder your personal growth.
2. Turning inwards can reveal the answers we seek.
3. Market research is different than seeking approval externally.
