Have you let waiting become a habit?
Are you waiting for the right time, better circumstances or maybe waiting until you’ve made more money?
I’m sorry to be the one that breaks it to you, but life waits for no one. You’ve got to grab life by the balls and I recommend growing a pair of your own.
I know you have big ambitions and you’re not here to play it small. So break the habit and don’t let your seemingly never ending to do list keep you waiting for success to come your way.
Before I was an entrepreneur, I was working in agency land, which for those in the know, you’ll be well aware this is not a 9-5. This is late night pitches, early starts, late finishes; whatever it takes to get the job done. I’m not afraid of hard work, I actually quite enjoy getting stuck in but it was sucking the life out of me.
Which, I know, makes me sound dramatic, but here is what I mean…
You know, when your heart and soul is telling you to be brave and to do something that would radically change your circumstances? And yet you ignore it? Or you just keep pushing it to one side because you’re busy? This IS your waiting habit.
You become so busy doing the ‘have tos you have no time to do the want tos’.
And, when you get really good at it, that little voice inside you, which is telling you to do all the things you want to do, gets lost.
Then, you blink and it’s 3 years later and everything is the same.
You’re once again finishing work exhausted. Flopping down on the sofa. Turning on Netflix. Pouring that large G&T, beer, wine… whatever your go to is. Another day done.
Then you feel so deflated because another 3 years have passed and you still haven’t done those things you really want to do.
Like go live abroad, find that dream partner, start that dream business or build your business on your terms in a way that sets your heart on fire.
You haven’t found that courage.
You’ve somehow forgotten how awesome you are.
You wish you had done more and I know this because I’ve been there and I’ve let waiting become a habit.
Setting goals is the first step to break the habit.
So, today I urge you to take the time to remember all the interesting things that you love, that light you up, that give you the renewed energy to take on that next big challenge.
Because when you set goals the right way. Big things happen, life changing things that create a ripple effect and before you know it you are smashing goals left right and centre.
I can honestly tell you this, as I’m now recording this episode from my brand new home in Italy, it’s everything I ever dreamed of and I feel very grateful that I have arrived here.
In today’s show I’m going to share with you what I fundamentally believe was instrumental to make this happen.
Tune in and you’ll learn:
- The strategies and real life examples to hit your BHAGS
- How to set goals the right way
- 2 tools that helped me smash my big 12 month goal for 2021 in under 6 months.
- Example situations that hold you back from achieving your goals, without you realising
- 1 critical thing you need to do to smash a goals in 2021
- The scorecard method to clarify the needle moving goals in your life and business
- Simple steps to up level every area of your life
I hope that after listening, you’re feeling revved up to take on the second half of this year.
You can do anything you set your mind to, give yourself the permission to dream then start taking the right actions.
You’ve got this!
I love to hear success stories so let me know what you took away from today’s show and most importantly how you’re going to take action and break the waiting habit.
Make your dream life and business happen today, I’m cheering you on.
Ciao for now!
Caroline
