What Stops You Taking Effective Action?

We all have things that stops us from taking action, whether it's fear of what may happen, things that we drag from the past, or just our stories and preconceptions of what we think something is or could be.

It reminds me of when I was a kid and I didn't want to eat something even if I've never tasted it or even if I tasted it and formed a emotional opinion vs. a valid opinion.

What's stopping you?

Once you have identified what you want or don't want, your mind starts organizing itself to meet those outcomes. You get what you focus on! This is especially true when your goals are clear and inspiring to you. 

However……sometimes there is a small hitch.

We have these internal “terrorists”,  rogue beliefs, that act like blockers to your progress.  Your beliefs create your internal world view.  They are the maps of your business and life and they are at the root of every action you take or don’t take. 

These saboteurs are beliefs you have, that are in opposition to your ultimate goals.  You may not be aware of them, or they may seem like they are “true” and real to you. 

If you find yourself sabotaging yourself by either not taking action, not taking effective action or taking ineffective action, you may want to take another look at the stories and perceptions you have made over the years. Albert Einstein once said "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity"..

Mickey, Many times the fear of the unknown keeps people from taking action.  Preconceived ideas block our openness to new ideas and approaches.  I'll listen to your audio.
