The End in Mind: Personal Development For Entrepreneurs
Business:Entrepreneurship
This week, we are chatting with @the_sophie.jones! Sophie and I met here on IG, and we hit it off immediately. Sophie helps high achievers to cultivate success from within. She has built several very successful businesses and she truly knows what it takes to create a lifestyle that aligns with your zone of genius to build wealth.
Did you have a learning disability hold you back when you were younger? Or change the way you thought about yourself?
@the_sophie.jones and I started on this topic on our first call together. We realized we both had similar experiences when it came to experiencing our learning disabilities. After being moved to a different room while in school, I felt like learning wasn’t really the focus but I still had to push through the day to be seen as “smart.” But really what we had discovered while connecting was that pieces of our experience and our diagnosis actually helped us because we were able to push through all of the criticism.
What most people don't know about learning disabilities, unless they have one, is that you are told over and over again the way you are perceiving something - math, reading, spelling, etc. - is wrong to modern society. That there is a right from wrong and we simply did most of it “wrong” and we didn't fit.
But what this did was actually help us. Me, as a highly sensitive person, it was really hard to hear this over and over again as a child. Then I realized, ‘okay well I’ll just ask for help. I will use my tools and people around me to change the narrative.’ And that's what I did - it created resilience for me. Now when I am told no, it stings less because I was told no a lot growing up. Which differently gave me a leg up into understanding that maybe what I was experiencing wasn't wrong, it was just different. And if over time I could articulate it better, maybe the way I saw the world would eventually start to become more right or true. And that is exactly what happened.
