Welcome to the Small Steps BIG Wins podcast where today’s podcast unpacks a small step mentioned in one of my interviews. So I’m going to challenge you to do something different today that could have a big win for you in the near future. In Episode #9, I talked with Dr. David Powers and at the end of his interview, he encouraged all of us to face our challenges head on. So in today's episode, I’m going to talk about our interactions with our challenges, what will stop us from facing them, and what we can practically do to face our challenges “head on”. At the end, I give 5 practical steps that you can take to tackle your challenges. Recognize the challenge: The first step is to acknowledge that there is a challenge that needs to be addressed. Set a goal: Identify what you want to achieve and set a goal. Having a clear objective can help you stay focused and motivated. Break down the goal:  Work backwards into smaller, manageable parts. Identify what obstacles you may face and come up with strategies to overcome them. Take action: Start taking action towards your goal. Don't let fear or doubt hold you back. Even small steps can lead to progress. Seek support: Don't be afraid to ask for help. Seeking support from family, friends, or professionals can provide you with valuable guidance and encouragement. We all have it in us to overcome obstacles and challenges, so it's important to focus on your strengths and build your self-confidence. Remember that facing challenges is a part of life, and every challenge presents an opportunity for growth and learning.
