Do you struggle with taking consistent, sometimes messy, action? Perhaps you wait around to feel motivated or you constantly find yourself making excuses?
Last week, Kelly challenged you to consider playing bigger in all areas of your life. Now comes the next major stage: laying out the steps you’ll need to take and personal changes you’ll need to make in order to make those goals part of your reality. It’s easy to contemplate these steps, but actually acting on them is a wholly different ballgame—less theoretical, potentially very messy. What you need are strategies to help you feel confident taking action in the face of fear, so that you show up and make daily progress.
In this episode, Kelly shares with you what’s holding you back from taking action and how you can create more confidence. She’s also giving you 3 concrete tools to put into practice so you can start showing up and getting comfortable with taking imperfect action. The first thing to understand: even with the best planning, your journey will not be perfect.
