Scaling Up Business with Bill Gallagher 186: Klyn Elsbury — How to Unstick Yourself
Do you feel stuck in your work or even in your life? This show is all about how to get unstuck and to unlock more of your potential even when you’re battling personal hardships. Today’s guest discusses how you can take your most complex thoughts and turn them into action.
Klyn Elsbury was born with Cystic Fibrosis, a life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system. Klyn was told she would not survive beyond 14 years old and spent most of her life going in and out of hospitals. Klyn knew she had to be smart with the time she had and so today, as she hits her 30’s, she is a Keynote Speaker, Bestselling Author, and the host of the Neuroscience for Sales Success podcast.
Klyn would spend anywhere from two to six months in a hospital every year. It was her illness that drove her to find more effective systems to help her grow and scale her business. Remember, if you are feeling like you can’t step away for a week or a few days, have Klyn be your reminder that yes, you can make things much more efficient!
When Klyn first heard of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), she thought it was a bunch of woo-woo and was extremely skeptical at how well it would work. She started off trying to find flaws within the system, but as she dug deeper into it, the more she realized it really does work. This led her down the path of getting her master’s in NLP.
How do we move from thought to action? We often think it’s a motivational problem, but it’s not. It’s what happens before you become motivated that gets you excited to stop procrastinating and do that thing. Think of what happened just before you became ridiculously motivated. What were you experiencing? Curiosity? Anger? Anxiety? Those are the emotions you want to focus on so that you can kick procrastination in the butt and turn your dreams into real action steps.
