Do you like your reasons?

Happy Day!

Coaching is really just powerful thought provoking questioning...and this one is REALLY good.

Whenever you make decisions today I want you to ask yourself this very simple question first-

Do I like my reasons?

Your brain is constantly offering you direction to take throughout your day. 
Do you like your reasons for why you are deciding to do or not do any given task?

Take a moment to explore the underlying reasons for your decisions. When you start to dissect your reasoning for your decisions you start to look at what motivates you.

Do you like what you find?

Understanding the roots of your choices empowers you to then make more intentional decisions IF you don't like what you see is motivating you.

So much power lies in knowing why you do what you do.

You are in charge of your own life and the more you know why you do what you do the more in charge you can become.

I absolutely help my clients understand why they do what they do. Once they are more aware, together, we work on aligning their actions with their ultimate goals.

If this sounds like something you want (productivity with purpose) get on my calendar for a free 45 minute consult clarity call to learn more about what is keeping you stuck. Then we can make a plan to take purposeful action. My clients are truly living better and I want that for you too! You deserve it!

Keep going, my friend, and expect miracles all day, every day, and love your reasons for doing so...

3 good ways to look at failure

Happy Day Everyone!

Failure is always a loaded topic with clients so I want to help everyone see it a bit differently.

How willing are you to fail?

When you're striving to achieve a new personal or professional goal, make a life change, develop a new habit, or transform yourself, failure is going to happen!

You are human, remember!

But, failure doesn't have to be dreadful, in fact, it can be a great thing!

It took me years to truly believe this—years and a lot of money spent on coaches to help me change my belief about failure.

I actually went from believing "I am a failure" , to believing, "failure doesn't exist"!

This is how I want you, my clients, everyone I meet, and especially my daughter to view failure when attempting to reach a new goal.

So, here are 3 shifts I made in helping me change my belief about failure.

1. Failing is just information. 
Failing is learning. It means you tried something and didn't get the result you wanted. It doesn't mean you are going backwards or you are incapable. It just means that road didn't get you there so you need to try a new road.

Along the journey make sure you assess what is working, what isn't working, and what you will do differently then keep going with that information.

This is key!

2. Failure just means you are taking action, which builds resilience and momentum. 
Failing means you are taking the risks needed to get the new result in your life you want. Congratulations! Facing and overcoming failure builds mental and emotional resilience. Each failure tests your commitment and persistence toward your goals. In that journey you are becoming more of who you were meant to be. Again, congratulations! The opposite of failure is doing nothing. You are no longer pursuing your goals when you do nothing.

If you allow it, failure also teaches you to handle setbacks with grace and determination.

Would you rather fail taking action or take no action at all and get zero results?

3. Failing is saving you time. 
Yes, failing saves time. Failing means you will never go down that road again. You will know it didn't work OR you will redo it in a way that could work better. Failure can create efficiency if you allow it to.

I look at every failure as it is just information. That I am learning. I am getting closer to learning what the path is to my next goal. That I am taking action and I will eventually get to the result I want. This creates excitement and curiosity!

That's it!

This is what I do for my clients as well. 
I hold belief that they can achieve any goals they desire. 
So failing is just information of what isn't working. As long as they keep at it, in time, the results will come!

But it always starts with what you are believing about your failures.

Belief matters.

If you are not willing to put yourself out there and risk failure then you probably aren't succeeding at the level you could.
