Season 4 Episode 415
Today, we will take a deeper dive into things that hold you back, why they do, and what to do next. That's right - Spring has sprung, Easter has passed, the year is 30% behind us, so what are you waiting for? Such a simple question and yet one that often gets in our way.
Tomorrow at 11CT I am Livestreaming – check out her channel here.

Main topic of the Show: What Are You Waiting For?
I am one of those people that folks tend to quickly trust with personal information. They will run things by me that they may not share with others. One time, I asked Tactical, why do people tell me things? He said - well because it is easy to tell you hard things because you don't judge.
But that isn't entirely true. Maybe I do not judge things the traditionally judgemental way that people do when they hear about past trauma or trials. Those things are what form us into the good people we can all be today. I don;t even care if someone once was a terrible person and has changed over time and wants to confess that. actions speak louder than words and if I can see that they are not a bad actor.
But the idea that I do not judge is not exactly right. I DO judge, and sometimes pretty harshly. Like all of us, I have very limited time to invest in projects, people and creative pursuits. That means that if I even sense for a moment that someone is not serious about doing the thing that they want my help with, I have a hard time giving time to them, even when offered money for consulting.
This is the curse of the consultant who is motivated by helping people succeed rather than by earning as much money as possible.
So really, I may be the most judgemental person you know on some ways. I just don;t see a reason to inflict my perspective on someone who isn't ready to hear it.
As humans, we can be very fickle, facing depression, fatigue. Committing to things that we did not realize would take so much time. Wanting more more more.
Yet some of us fall prey to what are you waiting for syndrome to a much higher degree than others.
Last year, I lost 20 lbs, doubled my business after it looking like it was going to be cut in half instead, and managed to pay off my debt faster than originally thought and it boiled down to one question I would ask almost every day: What are you waiting for?
We are so easily distracted, aren't we?
What is it that you really want to do? That is often the underlying cause of this syndrome. If I do not start I will not find out that I do not want this thing I think I want.
To which I ask - so what? Start. Find out. Worst thing that can happen is you deciode to abandon course and do something else.
These are all things that
