Don’t Let Fear Get In The Way – Do The Thing, Take The Action
If you’ve been following along with the Secrets To Attracting Clients Masterclass Series, you know it’s been a big week. If you haven’t been – why not? It’s amazing, and it’s FREE through next Wednesday. So it’s not too late to join the fun.
If you are new around here, Friday’s is when I send out insights from the week along with energy, mindset and motivation tips.
This Friday I’m celebrating over 400 agents and business owners joining the series. I’ve never done a series like this before and there are so many great take aways!
The biggest one by far is: Don’t let fear get in the way.
There were so many times I doubted myself, felt overwhelmed and out of my league. Here is just some of the self talk that has shown up in the last few months:
- Who am I to do something like this? Big time speakers and coaches do this stuff and I’m not ‘one of them’.
- What if no one wants to be part of it?
- What if no one signs up for it?
- There are too many moving parts, it’s too much to do – I should just give up
- I’ll miss something, mess something up, won’t do it right
The list goes on, but this gives you an idea of what came up as I put this whole thing together. Some were fleeing thoughts and others knocked me off track for days. Until I finally decided:
I’ve made this decision. I am going to commit to it. I’ll do the very best I can and as much as I can, knowing that no matter what that is, there will be things I won’t get done or that I will do differently next time. (Yes, spoiler alert – there will be a season 2 down the road. It’s been so fun and the response has been phenomenal.)
In that moment of realizing it wasn’t about ‘getting it perfect or even right’ – I was able to relax and start taking action again.
And you know what – it’s been amazing!!!!!
- All of the speakers shared incredible content. (For the record, I wasn’t ever worried about them, it was my ability to do right by them and have it be something that they would be proud to be a part of that scared me.)
- I have connected with so many new people as a result of everyone sharing the series. A HUGE thank to you if you did.
- Best of all – It’s been an incredibly FUN week filled with JOY!
Imagine if I had stayed stuck in the stories in my head about all of the reasons I couldn’t / shouldn’t do this?
We all have something we are holding ourselves back on based on fear. This is my nudge to you, take the action. Let go of – perfection, needing to do it all, or even needing to know what all of it is or should be. I guarantee you that whatever you do is better than not doing anything. Will you tweak it next time? Maybe. But the only way you get to next time is to do it for the first time.
To your success!
