When Mitch Matthews first approached me about being a visual author for our recently released book, “Ignite! A Little Book to Spark Your BIG Dreams,” …I have to admit, I experienced a mix of emotions.
It was like the timeless analogy of the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other. One voice said, “Not possible!” And the other said, “Go for it!”
Know the feeling?
Most of us battle it in one form or another every day.
As I reflect on what helped me follow the “angel voice,” here are my top three tips to help you do it too:
- Get by with a little help from your friends. We all need encouragement. Hang out with positive people, and you will train your brain to believe in you, too. And I think it’s obvious, but the reverse of this is true as well. If you are around people who think you can’t do it… you know what you need to do.
- Find a great business coach who can help you visualize what you really want. It’s powerful and pays for itself ten-fold.
- Just start. Our new book, “Ignite!” talks about this in depth. Just get started, and go for it! You might be surprised at what you can achieve.
When you’ve had these opposing voices or thoughts, what have you done in the battle of good versus evil? Did you go for it?
