Do you believe someone is holding you back? Preventing your happiness or success? Maybe you're just worried about their approval. Could this describe you? When talking with a new client, I often ask why they are looking for a life and business coach. Many of them are already a success as a business owner or leader but they still feel there's something missing, something they just can't reach...and often they will tell me about someone who is holding them back. It shows up in different forms for different people. Maybe it's the employee who just won't make enough outbound calls and that costs you sales. Sometimes it's a spouse or family member that is making demands that conflict with the demands of the business. In almost every case, you already know what you need to do. That's not the REAL problem. This feeling of being out of control almost always, 99.999% of the time, is rooted in a lack of confidence! That's actually great because it's easily solved! A lack of confidence comes from a lack of experience. You may have 10 years experience running a business but you've never fired anyone...so you're hesitant. Why isn't THIS person working out? What did I DO wrong? So what's the answer? Simple (note I didn't say 'easy'!) Just do it! That's how you gain experience! Look, if you want to say your happiness or success is being hindered by someone or something, then you are necessarily saying that they are solely responsible for your success as well! Do you really want to give someone else that kind of power over your business? Over your life?! I think not (or you wouldn't have read this far!) Start with the end goal in mind, will taking this action move me closer to my goal? Will not taking action move me closer to my goal? Take the step, gain confidence, and do work that matters! Enjoy!
