A client of mine was struggling to overcome the fear of what others would think if she fired a long term employee. Her fear was getting in the way of following through. For two years she had been so patient, so flexible and unhappy with the negative attitude and lack of follow through in her employee.
This business leader has hired and fired many people over the years, yet she was struggling to take action. “Why now,” I thought? When I asked her what was stopping her from taking action, she said she needed more courage. She said she wanted to discuss the decision with the rest of the team to see if they agreed. She said she was afraid he would retaliate and make the situation worse.
When I asked her what she was most afraid of, she said she was afraid of what others would think of her.
One thing in life is guaranteed, people will judge you. The question is, will you let them hold you back from taking action?
For years you can hold yourself back from taking action and with the help of another perspective, in one minute, you can realize why you’re stuck.
The #1 Job of a Business Leader is to evaluate if your thoughts are helping you or holding you back
“When I have the courage I’ll have the conversation, I’ll make the decision,” I heard her say. “Don’t you already possess the courage?” I asked her. “Focus on the issues, not the person. Trust yourself and give yourself the credit you’re due.”
Who do you have that helps you believe in yourself? Who do you have that helps you overcome your fears and take BIG action?
In less than a month, on April 26-28th, I’ll be spending three days at our Tofino Retreat, unravelling the deep desires, goals and dreams of the leaders who attend. I will help them point out what thoughts are helping them and what thoughts are holding them back from everything they desire.
We will spend hours stretching and challenging one another. We’ll laugh at things that challenged us before. I’ll be telling them what no one else wants to say because I’m committed to helping them grow.
First, I’ll simplify which goals will help them grow and feel fulfilled. Then we’ll get very practical and uncover the small steps they need to take to make life easier and find instant answers to boost productivity and profit.
I’ll teach them how to build a lucrative business that has ample room for personal health and happiness.
I’ll teach them how to raise their standards and stop settling for a good income, good health and ok happiness levels. Yes, it’s possible to be happier, healthier and making a better income. I should also mention, creating a lifestyle that includes all three of these things kicks butt!
The Tofino Retreat will empower you to take charge of creating the happiness and fulfilling career you want.
There are only a few spots left at the Tofino Retreat so why not experience it for yourself? If you act now, you’ll also receive a seat at my in person training on April 10th. We’ll be covering the Top 3 Principles To Create A Wealthier Life. Will I hear from you soon? I hope so. Contact me for details. Now is the best time to invest in yourself!
