As I approach my 3-year anniversary for my podcast I have taken a lot of inventory this morning, and wanted to share some of these with you in order to give you HOPE, and Perspective if you are in the pursuit of your goals and dreams! 1. It’s ok to BE a beginner, not an imposter. When I first hit record, I had no idea what I was doing, I didn’t have my voice, and I could hear all those negative thoughts and beliefs from my past try and derail me from even getting started. No matter what we do as human beings, we are not going to be good at first, and that’s ok, it shouldn’t just be easy. Give yourself permission to be a beginner and stay the course. 2. Repetition Decreases Resistance. The more we do anything as human beings the better we become at that thing whatever it is. If you continue to push yourself and learn over time you will find yourself becoming a master at the task you have set before yourself. 3. Dial in Your Expectations. I think its safe to say that we live in a world of instant gratification. We see the finish line in life on social media of everyone else’s journey, and we can get easily caught up in the comparison trap, and that is a dead-end road to nowhere. When you are doing something that only 1% of the population is willing to do expect it to be hard, and difficult, and it should be. If creating the life, you envision for yourself were easy everyone would be doing it, but once most people realize there is actual work involved they are so quick to throw in the towel and return to default blaming other people for the circumstances they have in life. 4. Don’t expect people to cheer you on! When you start to journey down a different path in life you can guarantee to get a lot sideways looks, and people telling you that you are crazy. Most of these comments will be from those who are closet to you btw. What’s really going on is that these people in your life are starting to feel threatened by your growth and transformation, and its causing them to project onto you because they are having to take a look at their own life and their own insecurities. They need to make you feel small because they know deep down they will never have the courage to pursue their own lofty goals of dreams. 5. Get Around Like Minded Individuals. I can’t stress this one enough. As it relates to podcasting we are often in our own little silo, or bubble. You need to be around people who understand your mission, and can offer support, encouragement, strategies that will help you along the way. This is where coaching, and mentorship are critical. I great coach will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. We can’t see the picture if we are in the frame! Get your feelings out of the way, and be coachable! 6. Consistency Creates Confidence. I don’t think there is some magic trick for those who are pursing success. Everyone’s version of success looks different. We have been conditioned to believe that success is tied to monetary result. That being said I know that I am in the top 1% in the world for being a podcaster. I know this because to hit that goal you only have to create ten episodes or more. Read that again! The bar has been set so low because people give up before result has been attained. Staying consistent and building strong disciplines in your pursuit will pay off ten-fold if you just stay in the game! 7. The Closer You Get, The Greater The Attacks. When I say attack I am speaking about the paralyzing thoughts that we sometimes think of from past experiences that try and prevent us from moving forward or getting out of comfort zones. I think this is just a part of the process, and you must become aware when this happens, note it, and continue to push forward regardless. You can’t change anything about the past, you can only learn the lesson. You can however rewrite your future and that part is completely up the individual. 8.
