A few weeks ago, my coach asked me these two simple questions and my life hasn’t been the same since:
1) What do you want to create?
I went into my dream life:
• $10K months minimum • Traveling two months out of the year • Having only five one-on-one clients, referrals only • Being completely off social media • Teaching jiujitsu and chess
I talked about money dreams for the first time ever. It’s usually a sensitive topic for me. I told him I’m sick of cutting it close. I’m ready for a prosperous life where I can pay off my debt, invest, do what I love, and donate to charities I care about.
Once we painted this beautiful picture together, he asked me…
2) So what’s in the way?
I went into all these stories:
• “I don’t know how to make a ton of money.” • “I’ve never done it before.” • “I have no idea what I’m doing.”
Once we dove into each story one by one, I came to the realization that none of them were true. What was actually happening was I was waiting for permission to live a truly prosperous life.
This may sound simple or dramatic, but this utterly shattered my previous way of thinking. I got off that call and immediately began building my coaching program. Since then, I’ve invited tons of new coaches and have gotten a ridiculous amount of positive feedback.
We get so caught up in believing the stories we tell ourselves. They’re almost certainly nonsense.
What do you tell yourself to keep yourself from taking action? Or better yet, ask yourself…
What do I want to create? So what’s in the way?
