In this episode, I want to talk to you about what is stopping you from taking action in your business and your life. I have a feeling that most of you listening to this are stuck deciding what action to take, or you’re running from a specific action that you know you need to take. So this week I want to talk about three roadblocks that might be stopping you and how to overcome them.

In today’s episode, we talk about:

  • I have seen 3 common roadblocks to why people are not taking action.
  • The first roadblock is because they are overthinking.
  • You are worried it's the wrong decision, it's a mistake, etc. 
  • I have been there, I over-thought every single thing at one point, and then I did NOTHING.
  • The second roadblock I see is perfectionism.
  • Messy action is better than no action. It does not have to be perfect.
  • When you want things perfect, it is a form of procrastination.
  • Messy action still needs to move the needle.
  • What you think is imperfect, other people are going to think is pretty darn perfect.
  • The third roadblock stopping you from taking action is fear.
  • The biggest fears I see in my students are; fear of failure, fear of the unknown, and fear of not knowing enough.
  • Fear of failure: This is a normal fear. EVERYONE struggles with this. Failure is what is going to help you grow though. Failure is not really failure--- it just means something didn’t work.
  • Fear of the unknown: I would encourage you to keep moving forward, you will figure it out. Take the leap of faith and keep going!
  • Fear of not knowing enough: You don’t have to be an expert, you just have to take action and show up.
  • Recognize these fears, look them straight in the face and tell them to “get behind” you. 
  • My challenge to you this week is to take action. A small action is still an action, so let’s do it, sister!
