Why “being you” is holding you back

Since 2017, over 1200 people have paid to join one of my programmes or courses, and these Daily Brain Tattoos have been read well over 3 million times. 

That’s given me a ton of feedback into how humans think and behave, and I’ve got a mental shortlist of what makes a successful coach or consultant.

There’s an even longer list of things that block success, and right at the top of the list is a sure-fire dream-killer:

Believing doing the same stuff you’ve always done will take you to new places. 

Because we’re hard-wired to avoid discomfort, trying something new is naturally scary and to-be-avoided.

I get that.

Here are a few behaviours you might need to change if you want to improve your life:

• Saying you’re “not techie” instead of learning to use the essential tools of the 21st century
• Having an ethical objection to sending cold messages because “it’s just not me”
• Looking at people who’ve experienced extreme good luck and assuming it’ll land in your lap too
• Believing money is evil, and rich people must have done something bad to accumulate wealth
• Saying you want to do something, then not being prepared to work to make it happen
• Thinking your fitness/brainpower/stamina will naturally endure from your 30s all the way through middle-age
• Getting a few qualifications and expecting clients to be so impressed they’ll fall into your lap

I could go on, but you get the idea. 

Forging a life of success for yourself means you’ll be breathing rare air, and mixing with uniquely motivated and determined people. You don’t get to join that party with the mindset of an employee.

You have to change how you behave, to change your results.

You might even have to change who you are.

See you around

PS: As Robin Sharma says, “All change is difficult at first, messy in the middle and beautiful at the end.”

I’m putting together an all-new mini-course that’ll change your life if you follow it. It’s called the Corporate Consulting Launch Pack, and it’s a simple A-Z guide to helping organisations with employee wellbeing.

Reply with “CCLP” and I’ll make sure you get the details when it’s ready.
