Logical reasons not to do amazing things.

This last week I have worked with some brilliant people.

One is about to publish a 3rd book.

One has incredible business development skills and crazy insight into how to improve people's businesses in a digital space.

One is an award-winning artist on the verge of the biggest career move of their life.

Ones a single parent of two with a brilliant entrepreneurial streak.

Ones a brilliant and experienced life coach about to start a podcast that's been in the works for 2 years.

Ok well... that last one is actually me!

but you better believe I've had some coaching this week because everyone on this list has something in common.

We're all about to do something AMAZING and coming up with garbage nonsense reasons to not go ahead and do it.

I was telling myself that I needed a proper podcasting microphone before I could start.

The Fancy Shmancy microphone I bought has been sitting on my desk for weeks.

I was telling myself there was a ton of technical knowledge I needed first. 20 minutes on google had that sorted out... a month ago.

I told myself the "cover art" had to be compelling and stand out.

Yeah, that's been done for a while now too.

and every single person I've coached this week who wants to do something bigger has been presenting the same perfectly logical and acceptable excuses as.

The Reason I Can't.

And it’s nonsense.

I promise you, it's never the logistical stuff.

It's never the technical stuff, the cover art, the perfect resume or the ideal diet.

If you have access to google you can figure that shit out or pay someone to do it for you.

It's you.

It's your fear.

It's your brain.

It's convinced that anything new and scary is terrifying.

That people will judge you. Laugh at you.

Reject you.

It doesn't matter.

You won't die, even if your brain tells you that you will.

Do. It. Anyway.

Done is always better than perfect.

Even if it doesn't go according to plan, nothing is worse than living with the crippling regret of never having done it.
