You deserve more ??

You have such incredible potential ??

I want to explore today, how you can take a BIG LEAP ??. 4 key steps you can incorporate right away, that will leave you feeling more motivated and inspired. Implement these, and you will look back in a few months or years from now, and you will pinch yourself about the incredible progress you have made ??. We are going to tap into how you can achieve the results that you probably dreamed of when you first started your business or your professional career. ??

I have written this for those who deep down have BIG ambitions. Individuals who don't want to settle. You don't want to become that business colleague, 20 years your senior, who lives a life full of regret ??.

Also if you are expecting lots of practical tips today, about changes you can make to your linkedIn profile or find out more about that latest bit of shiny AI technology, to help you to achieve your potential, then you are going to be disappointed...

I am going to share what will result in the biggest change. What will make you feel an immense sense of pride in your achievements and how you can push the bar further than ever before ??. In case you had not guessed, I am talking about YOU. ??

#1 Focusing on where you add most value - Isn't it strange, how we are all unique. We all have skills and talents that we can leverage, yet in our professional careers we end up trying to wear every single hat. Ultimately we are creatures of habit and 40% of things we do on a day to do basis, we do without conscious thought!!!!

Consider for a minute an hourly rate you would personally charge for your services. As an example, let's say it's ￡200 per hour. Then ask yourself how many tasks you are performing right now which are worth ￡200 per hour?

Now you may find you are convincing yourself that once you are in a better financial position you will start to outsource, or when your circumstances are different you will delegate more....All you are doing is letting external circumstances dictate what you do.

So, how about identifying 1 task today that you can delegate or outsource?

#2 Stop caring what others think. So often we take our time to make decisions. We can feel more comfortable asking people for their insight before we get started. We can also refrain from putting ourselves out there via events or social media, because we worry how this will be interpreted. We don't follow up prospects because we fear that they may say NO. These are the real things you need to address.

When you learn to take action in spite of fear the magic will really start to happen for you ??. Learning to back your judgement and to become more decisive is a skill, and by doing so you will start to lead your market rather than follow.

What action are you going to take today?

#3 Go after what you really want. It is so common to settle. We question our own capability and set goals that we KNOW how to achieve. Ask yourself... Do you want to simply pay the bills, to get by? Or deep down do you want more time, more freedom??. If so, then it is important to step back and to remember what we really want.

During a recent workshop I hosted, I shared an exercise to help individuals get that fire back in their bellies. This was exciting and liberating and a number of the attendees said that they experienced a big shift. If you would like a copy of any of these exercises send me a message with the words "workshop" and I will share these with you?

What do you REALLY want to achieve?

#4 seek professional help. The temptation so often is to put our head down and to do more. Seeking professional help from a Coach and Mentor can be seen by many as a sign of weakness. But actually this is a sign of strength. Just think of all of those individuals within your network, who have achieved the results you want. Right now there are a number of people who will be able to help you to fast track your progress.

It's strange looking back to when I made the decision to personally invest in a coach for the first time. This was 4 years ago and this stranger (a COACH) told me that I was holding myself back from happiness & unlocking my real potential!!! Who did this person think they were?? At the time I had a successful career. I was married and I was doing well financially.... ??

It's amazing how much my views have changed. Now I view coaching and mentoring completely differently. I have worked with 5 Coaches and Mentors in the past 3 years and I now weigh up these opportunities to seek help from experts, in a completely different way. I ask myself: Will this individual help me to achieve my goals faster? If I believe the answer is YES, then it is a no brainer. ??
