Turning being a misfit into your greatest advantage in entrepreneurship.. Work with me: www.jessicawoelfel.com
Many years ago, a person that I was deeply in love with said to me, you're so different and I love this about you because you see the world so different and you always give me different answers and you're able to understand me deeper than everybody else.
And considering that this is the biggest core wound that I have not fitting in and not belonging in that moment, something inside of me broke.
And at the same time, it was also the most liberating moment because hearing that from that person, I knew now I'm truly free.
I was this chameleon because through my pattern recognition skills, I've always observed people and I understood very fast what they want, what they don't want.
And so instead of figuring out who I am, I started to adjust to every single person that was in front of me.
So it is normal that different people bring out different parts and aspects of you.
But it was almost like I didn't even exist because in front of every single person, they saw a different version of me.
And it only really started clicking in my 30s where I was able to figure out who I am, what my values are, and now I'm very strong and firm in that.
But that moment just changed something in me because I realized no matter how hard I will try I will always be different I will always go the unconventional path I will always do what 95% of people or even 99% of people are not doing the way I'm building my life I'm building my business like even that is incredibly unconventional where most people say this is not how you should build a business but I couldn't care less I am Now at a point where I just know myself so deeply.
