Are you living up to your potential?

If the answer is no, then ask yourself “why not”? Life is short. Do you want to say that you did not become the person you were supposed to be?

Yet, you may say: “I’m waiting for the perfect time” or “I’m waiting for the perfect situation”. All this waiting is an excuse to not go out and try again. Or, maybe it’s not that you are “waiting” per se, but rather that you are afraid.

So, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of making a mistake? Afraid of making the wrong choice? Are you afraid that you may not be good enough, or that the people around you might laugh at you, or won’t support you? Are your fears enough to stop you? 

Are you afraid that once you get there then you’ll have to live up to your potential? Meaning that what you’ve been talking about for so long will now come to fruition and you might not actually succeed? 

THE WEEKLY ACTION CHALLENGE

Your challenge this week is to live up to your potential.

Write down what you could be doing in your career if you knew you could not fail. Then, list the steps you can take to either make your description real or what questions you need answered to make your description clearer. It’s ok to not know what your next move is. But do you really want uncertainly to stop you from getting what’s possible?

As a coach, I find that fear is the number one reason that people do not move forward in their career. But, when you look back years from now, what do you to say? “I could have” or “I’m grateful that I did.” 

So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love!

WHAT TO SAY WHEN...

Ever wonder what to say in these specific situations? 

What do I say on an interview so I get the job?  What do I say to my boss so I get the raise I want? What do I say so people

will return my phone calls and e-mail's? What do I say to a difficult co-worker so we get along?

I have created a series of telephone seminars so you can learn something new; specifically what to say at certain important moments

in your career. 

All the experts say to ask for what you want in your career, but what's missing most of the time are the actual words to make your

career goals real and your career wishes come true.
