One Question When You Are Stuck

Are you feeling stuck? Ask yourself, WHAT CAN I DO? The honest answer will pop into your head. Then - stand up, take a step, REPEAT!--One Question When You Are StuckI have a favorite question;" What Can I Do?"I ask it when I'm unsure about the following action. It always delivers. Getting what you want in life sometimes includes random and vague goal setting - something that is not likely to help you make progress. What you need is to be targeted and specific. But what do you do when targeted and specific isn't coming to mind?Ask yourself -"What Can I Do?"Sometimes the answer is not what you want to hear. Then again, when you are stopped in your tracks - it can't hurt.What's next?Stand up, take a step, and REPEAT!You'll find your way.--Download the Perfect Week PlannerBook a 60-Minute Coaching SessionJoin our Facebook Group Visit our Content Hub to find more resources atLike the show?

Another Chance to Succeed

Another Chance to SucceedIs it me, or does living life these days make you feel like Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog Day? When it comes to working toward goals, that can be a tremendous asset. It's also something that will break you free when things don't feel like they are going your way.Everybody has ups and downs. Up days are lots of fun. Down days make you want to crawl under a rock. But like the movie, with the right mindset, you always get another chance to try again.How would you feel if every day was a chance to tweak, adjust, flex, or reinvent your approach to living?What if everything got more comfortable as you built your knowledge of what works best for you?How empowered would you feel if you knew that every day was a do-over day?As long as the sun rises and the sun sets, it doesn't matter if you succeed or fail the previous day. Today is always a new day for making your dreams come true.That'll make you get out of bed.--Download the Perfect Week PlannerBook a 60-Minute Coaching SessionJoin our Facebook Group Visit our Content Hub to find more resources atLike the show?
