In Uncategorized, What's Holding You Back?

Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

This Latin phrase, popularized during WWII, always draws chuckles and after the chuckle, the head nodding.  Yep good advice, I gotta remember that.

But unlike WWII, “the bastards” aren’t an opposing army, they may actually be people who are on your side: friends, spouses, colleagues, the boss, or a family member.  These people can sometimes be “dream killers”.

That’s a crazy idea.
You can’t afford to do that.
You’re out of your league.
That seems like a big risk.

The worst is when the dream killer statements collide headlong into your own limiting beliefs and self doubt.

When this happens here are five steps:

  1. Write it down – That’s a crazy idea…
  2. Turn it into a question – Is that a crazy idea?
  3. Ask: What have I seen, heard and done that suggests it’s a crazy idea?
  4. Ask: What have I seen, heard and done that suggests it’s a good idea?
  5. Now evaluate from your clearest, most enlightened, and most confident self.

Maybe it is a crazy idea OR maybe it’s a great idea that opens up new opportunities.

Can’t wait to hear what you discover.

Until next Tuesday.  YIPPEE!
