Mindset shifts to take action on your goals + my first online event 🎉

I was recently introduced to the concept of the Region-Beta Paradox, which is a phenomenon that suggests that things need to get bad enough before you’re forced to take action. 

For example, you could be in a job or career that you’re not entirely happy with because it doesn’t bring you much fulfillment, but you figure that your manager isn’t too bad, and your colleagues are friendly - so the situation is essentially passable enough for you to stay where you are.

However, if you were in that same job, but your manager was toxic, you didn’t get on colleagues - essentially a worse situation, you’d be more likely to take the action to leave your role. 

My take is that you don't have to wait until things get extremely bad to make strides toward your goals!

Here are two mindset shifts to take the next level to start to build a life you truly want and achieve your goals:

There's too much to do and I don't know where to start -> What's the smallest step that can bring me to my goal?

My friend was recently struggling because she wants to do 1:1 sessions with people to help them with the branding of their online presence but was overwhelmed at the thought of having to create a website, pages on social media for branding, then logistics of how to set it all up in the best way possible. 

She was feeling like she had to take so many steps to make her dream a reality. We spoke and I asked her what is the *smallest* step she could take that could lead to the most impact, and it was simply a case of her making a Calendly link (takes 2 mins), then her posting about her services in the form of a LinkedIn post which would take her around 10 minutes. 

I'm too scared to make the change, so it means I can't do it -> The step I am about to take scares me, and I can feel the fear and do it anyway

I’m all about feeling the fear and doing it anyway - I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to wait until you feel GREAT to take action.

You’ll find a lot of professionals still get nervous, feel anxious, and may doubt themselves when they have done the task many times before - yet they still take action. I love to think about the singers who are so nervous before they get up on stage even though they have done it 100s of times - yet they do it anyway! 

I was so nervous to start my own online event, my heart was literally beating out of my chest when I was writing my caption on Instagram to post about it, and that didn’t stop me from taking action to do it. 

SPEAKING OF - come to the event!!!

Next Tuesday I’ll be hosting the “Start before you’re ready” online event which is perfect for anyone who has been holding back on a dream or idea and needs a push to take that first step towards making it a reality.
