What happens if I fail...?

Surely it is better for me to play it safe? My role is to provide and what happens if things went wrong?

Today I want to share 3 practical tips to help you to embrace failure, to create a more EMPOWERING MINDSET and to LIVE the life you would LOVE to lead ??

But first... Why do we have a tendency to concern ourselves with what could go wrong? 'Surely it is better to stick to what I KNOW and to play it safe....' Do you ever have doubts like this? If so, today I want to share 3 lessons to help you to BACK YOURSELF, to go after what you REALLY WANT & to embrace the unknown????

If you are reading this, you may even feel torn between your head and your heart ??. Your head, or the logical part of your brain is wired to keep you safe. Risks are viewed as bad and you may ask yourself - Why rock the boat if things are going ok? Perhaps you have a family and wider responsibilities and you have convinced yourself that your sole priority is to provide for your loved ones?

Why then, at times, do you feel conflicted? Perhaps deep down you don't want to lead a life that is OK.

I am convinced that most of us, want to live with real purpose ??. We want to wake up feeling inspired ??. We want to make a real difference in the world ??. And we want to lead by example and to walk the walk for our children ??. It is commonly accepted that later in life, we don't regret the things that didn't work out, but rather, the things we didn't have the courage or bravery to start ??.

But, how do I begin to live a life with real PURPOSE? ??. Well, next week I will be hosting a live event with an inspiring guest (Chris) who learnt the hard way. We will BOTH be sharing HOW you can wake up feeling motivated and inspired every day ??

My biggest event yet...

Ok, to start I want to share something personal. This time next week, I am speaking at my biggest event yet - The Personal Finance Society National Conference in Manchester ??. And there is a part of me that still questions whether I am READY or WORTHY of standing on this BIG stage. Thankfully, I have LEARNT to change how I view experiences like this...

3 years ago I was 6 months into my coaching business, things had started really well and at this point I could have just kept going and stuck to only coaching.... However, I had this vision to ALSO inspire people at events and to get PAID for the privilege... ??. I felt torn - my coaching business was growing nicely. Surely I should listen to my head and continue to do just fine... but the reality is that deep down I wanted MORE....

I listened to my Performance COACH who told me to just START. So, I went ahead and hosted my first event. Unfortunately, only 4 people came. I felt embarrassed and nearly STOPPED halfway through ??. The reality was that I had a real FEAR of failure.... ??

Now 3 years on, I am invited to speak in front of hundreds of people...??

3 lessons I learnt ????

#1 – You either WIN or LEARN. I changed how I viewed failure. It is through ACTION that growth happens ??

#2 – Say YES and commit to BIG, exciting goals.Feeling excited and scared in equal measure is a great sign ??

#3 – Consistency is key. I decided to say YES and hosted and spoke at events every week for the past 3 years. I focused on getting 1% better each time ?? And next week, whatever happens, I know I will WIN or LEARN ??

It's time to change how you view failure. When you follow your heart and go after what you REALLY WANT, your life will never be the same again.
