Life Coaching Secrets

33. Desirable Problems


Listen Later

You will always have a part of your brain that will look for potential problems you may experience as you pursue big goals. 

It is an impossible feat to try and completely rid yourself of worry. 

But, what you can do is direct the worrying part of your brain to focus on problems you WANT to have. I call this a Desirable Problem. 

Some problems have an upside. While they are still stressful, it's the stress you want to have. 

These problems are really growing pains you have at the next level of success. 

The key is to focus your brain on THOSE problems. 

Doing this satisfies the part of your brain that needs to worry about something while also panting a seed in your mind that you will be successful.

For example, instead of worrying about finding clients as a coach, you can instead choose to worry about:

  • Having followers who are annoyed that your program sold out so quickly
  • Making too much money that you don't know what to do with it 
  • Needing to hire a team because your business is growing so quickly
  • All of these things are Desirable Problems.

    In this episode, I share how to discover your own Desirable Problems so you can worry in the best possible way.
