This weekend we celebrated my son’s third birthday. I cannot believe how quickly the time flies! As we were signing happy birthday my heart was overcome with joy…
…you see I remember the conversation vividly when we decided to have a child. We were both excited, but equally apprehensive because we wanted to make sure it was the right time.
Should we wait until we had “enough” money saved?
Should we wait until we owned a house (we were renting at the time)?
Should we wait until my business was generating more money?
Should we wait until Dave got a raise?
Should we wait until we had one more big, European adventure?
Should we wait until my dad’s surgery was over?
Have you ever played the waiting game? It seems to creep into our decision-making with big, life-changing decisions.
Like in business…
Should I wait until I lose 10 lbs before I talk with potential clients?
Should I wait until I have the perfect website to network?
Should I wait until I have a newsletter list or blog presence before talking with potential clients?
Should I wait until I have a program completely done before offering strategy sessions?
Should I wait until I have money in my bank account to invest in that business retreat?
All I could think about as Des was blowing out his big #3 candle on Saturday was how happy I was we didn’t wait.
The waiting game is dangerous because the more you wait, the more scared you get. The more scared you get, the more stuck you stay.
You have a purpose, a mission and deep desires to fulfill through your coaching business.
Waiting doesn’t make that happen.
Taking ACTION does.
Business success isn’t a waiting game. It’s not a state of mind. It’s a state of action.
You are a leader and your tribe needs you (don’t make them wait to find you…).
Big Hugs,
Lisa
