| I think we need to talk about your big BUT. |
| I work with high achieving leaders with a proven track record of success who know they have a lot more inside of them to be more and to do more. Maybe that’s you. You have a big dream. You know you’re awesome. You’re sick of being the world’s best kept secret. You want to create something extraordinary. You know you are on the precipice of flying higher than you’ve ever flown before. However, what often gets in your way is your big but. Do you have a big but? Perhaps your but is huge. “But I’m not ready.” “But I need more money first.” “But I don’t know enough yet.” “But what will others think?” “But it’s not perfect.” “But I’m not good enough yet.” “But my idea doesn’t stand out enough.” “But I’m scared.” “But what if it doesn’t work?” “But what if others get mad?” Most of us have heard by now how important your WHY is. Simon Sinek even wrote a book about it called Start With Why. And when things become well known or even mainstream, it can become trite. And when things become trite, we take them for granted and lose sight of the power of its simplicity. So let’s get back to basics. Think of that one big dream you have that you just can’t get out of your head. Got it? Now get in your heart to remember your WHY. WHY is this dream important to you? What does this dream mean to you? How does this dream impact somebody else that you care about? How does this dream help make the world a better place? Take a moment to pause and ask yourself: “How does making my dream come true impact me?” “How does making my dream come true impact you?” “How does making my dream come true impact the world?” I get it. Your but is big, but you’ve got to make your why bigger. The best antidote to your big but is to make your why even bigger. |
