Are You Holding Back?

Admin Coach for Coaches: I solve your daily stress by doing all the admin work that overwhelms you, turning your huge to-do list into a done-for-you list.
In 2012, a conversation with my life coach changed everything for me. I was accused of "playing it safe" and "staying in my comfort zone."
It was a wake-up call that I was my own biggest obstacle. It's daunting to consider bold moves. Whether you're navigating the challenges of being a job seeker or the journey of a solopreneur, we often second-guess when faced with big, unfamiliar decisions.
I found clarity in "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks. The book brilliantly unpacks the "upper limit problems" and their impact on our growth.
A snapshot: Key Takeaways from "The Big Leap":
1. Upper Limit Problem (ULP): Have you ever felt there's a cap on how much success or happiness you deserve?
That's the ULP. Surpass it, and you might unconsciously pull yourself back.
2. Find Your Zone: We all operate in four zones - Incompetence, Competence, Excellence, and Genius.
The magic happens in the Genius zone, where passion meets prowess.
3. Unmask Hidden Barriers: Ever thought success might alienate you from your roots?
Such beliefs could be holding you back.
4. Mastering Time with Einstein: Time is not just something that happens to us; it's a resource we generate. It's time to steer it, not just endure it.

7 个月I love Gay Hendricks and the Zone of Genius concept ?? Susan Shier, and your action points are spot on. For many years I focused too much on fixing the things I wasn't strong at and it's taken me a while to focus on the things that come easy. Thank you for the reminder to find that spot and stay there.
