What are you afraid of?
What are you hiding from?
As adults and when we are afraid, we can no longer run and hide behind our parents. Therefore we hide behind our excuses, university degrees, etc.
Sometimes we think that we need to have or do hundreds of things in order to achieve something when the reality is that we just have to take action and keep moving towards reaching our dreams and goals.
In this solo episode I want to talk to you about hiding yourself. About those strategies and excuses we use to hide out of fear that prevent us from achieving something better for ourselves and our future.
Find out what keeps you away from your dreams and how to stop it.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
[3:20] This before that.
A common mistake is believing that we need something first to achieve something else. Huge mistake! To achieve what you want, start with the minimum requirement and build the rest along the way.
[6:32] Stop designing on the whiteboard.
Second mistake. When we have an idea, we spend months developing it and fantasizing about the final result believing that we are working on it. In reality, what we do is get further away from its materialization.
[8:56] Overcomplicating us.
You must know that perfection does not exist, and when you look for it many times, what you do is waste your time. Perfection is not necessary for things to go well for us. Sometimes, the lack of it can bring pleasant surprises.
[12:30] Collect others' ideas.
I know that we believe that other people's opinions are important to improve what we want to offer our public, but not all ideas are good and can end up diluting yours. Think very well about which ones to take and which to discard.
[14:24] Omitting your story.
This strategy is the worst. When you hide your history, you hide who you are and how you got to where you are now. You put aside your achievements and forget how special you are. Embrace your story and share it with the world. People love it.
[17:24] I need a degree.
The lack of education did not stop anyone from achieving great things, just take a look at the history of the world's greatest millionaires. Stop making excuses, and go for it!
[27:16] 4 Questions that will help you achieve your goals.
1) What has kept me detained?
2) How is it showing in my life right now?
3) How can I approach things differently?
4) What actions should I take?
