A goal without a plan is just a wish
As you go, taking action, one step at a time, the path unfolds before you.
Trust it’s there and it will be.
When I tell you I’ve done things before I was ready or taken these grand leaps of faith even when I was scared, it’s true.
But there have been plenty of days when I couldn’t force myself to leave my couch.
Instead, I binged Netflix all day and started drinking wine at noon.
Or I holed away and hid in a good book.
Or avoided what I “should” be doing and took my kids swimming instead.
Not my finest hour or wisest admission, perhaps, but honest.
Let’s be real.
We are all human and being overwhelmed is a natural instinct, especially when starting something new and embarking on big adventures.
So my advice is to start small when the end goal seems too big.
When I’m staring at a blank page and willing myself to write, I will tell myself, “you can’t edit a blank page.”
The same philosophy applies to most things.
I haven’t experienced anything in my life that requires perfection out of the gates.
So write a crappy first draft so you have something to edit.
Then, move onto the next phase of making it pretty.
Many times, the nudge is all that’s needed to get started and then momentum takes over.
As you write, you build confidence.
After you create your online dating profile and you start to see matches, you’re more confident to move the next step.
As you allow yourself to dream, you begin to see what’s actually possible.
The momentum of success will propel you forward.
Give yourself permission to make some progress and stop aiming for perfection.
You want to know what I’ve learned from all of the courses I’ve taken and all the books I’ve read and all the coaches I’ve hired?
They all say the same thing using their own words: Do the damn thing.
Just remind yourself: It’s never too late & You’re never too old.
Here’s your first step …The “ You Got This” Method.
