Find out why you should stop going it alone.

Ever had a brilliant idea and then struggled to launch into action?

A ‘thing’ that continued to grow and blossom with juicy promises.

You plan, scheme and dream as the ‘thing’ fights its way toward reality.

You have grandiose dreams that somehow shrink and shrivel when it comes time to take the stage?

You give yourself the never give up pep talk and then you hit repeat.

More familiar dreaming. More familiar planning before staying put with familiarity.

For me it goes something like this………

I am working mega-hard to set up my coaching Biz.

Spectacular thoughts and ideas occupy my mind all day.  I begin planning everything from website design to the administration forms I will use when working with clients.  I do it all myself, the one man band, marketing, web designer, copywriter and the product itself.

I work alone.

I keep my creative juices flowing with regular brainstorming sessions, coloured textas, big sheets of paper and I write and I plan, and I plan some more.

I work alone.

I trawl the internet, Hello Pinterest, collecting and collating images, quotes, phrases and designs to inspire me.

I still work alone.

I gather, gather, gather, then I consider, consider, consider.

I work alone.

It is time to act.  Doubt sneaks in, with it comes procrastination and before long worry has crashed the party.

I worry alone.

I now go round and round, reworking, overthinking and over planning my ideas. I am jammed up tight, stuck fast in my own pile of muck.  Not sure how to get out.

I feel alone.

Then this happens……

I sit with a friend, a very dear and trusted friend and she asks me how my business is going?  I give the stock answer of “Its okay, a lot of work, I love it”.

She sees beyond my false smile and begins to asks more and more questions.  I tell her about the ideas I am working on.  She continues to ask questions, I go even deeper.  I share details, I am lost in time and relieved as thoughts spill out.  Then new ideas, wild ideas, and unbelievably, fresh and actionable ideas.

I am not alone.

My ‘thing’ springs to life.

Talking through my ideas, sharing them, hearing them and being questioned on them freed me from the muck.  The ‘thing’ no longer filling my head,  room has been made for new thoughts, ideas and the discovery of a path to action.

I am not alone.

Now over to you……

What is your ‘thing’?

Are you in need of a change, have a passion you want to follow though or an idea you want to get off the ground?

Do you find yourself stuck in the HOW and the WHEN process?

Don’t do it alone.

Find a friend, a colleague, a family member, a coach.  Someone whom you trust.  Someone who will listen and understand while supporting all that you want to achieve.

Call them, sit with them, find someway to connect and share your ideas and your fears.

Listen to their wisdom and mould it with your own.

Break the cycle of inaction today,  reach out and the flood gates will open, propelling you forward with new drive and inspired action.

Share your ‘thing’ in comments.  I would love to hear about it.
