Did you ever have a chat with a friend where you kept giving excuse after excuse and they just wouldn’t stop coming up with positive affirmations and encouragements?
Like, stop already…I’m not feeling it…I’m not there…I don’t think I can…
And yet, she goes on and on, refusing to let you give in to your insecurities and retreat to your comfort zone.
Ugh!
You almost wish you hadn’t blurted out to your friend what you were thinking of doing.
It was a quiet moment of intuition when you had this crazy thought (but you knew, deep down inside, it was what you wanted for a long time).
Maybe you realized you wanted to leave your job and start out on your own. Or you were finally ready to make huge changes in your business.
Most of us know how to set a big goal. But how many of us know how to commit to it, doggedly follow that light, and keep talking ourselves through it until we achieve it?
That’s the problem, isn’t it?
We need that encouraging friend along our journey.
But here’s the thing: it won’t work from the outside.
YOU have to be that voice. All the time. Even when it’s terrible and you want to give up.
Because it’s all about your mindset.
It’s easy to pump yourself up in the beginning but eventually, the negative thoughts sneak in even when you’re not aware.
And when you do something that doesn’t work out, you start building up a list of excuses for why you shouldn’t try again.
And then what happens?
You quit your goal, or you get sidetracked, or you say that you’re going to work on it next year when you finally become stronger, more focused and miraculously persistent.
Nope. It doesn’t work like that.
In order for you to reach that goal, you have to start being that person…now!
And don’t tell me you’re not ready. I’ll tell you why you are.
Join me and we’ll talk about meeting your future self – it’s sooner than you think!
