This is a long one, but a good one…stay with me! Plus, EXCITING news at the end.
Don’t just do the easy stuff. Easy stuff will keep you entertained and distracted from the hard stuff.
💥 It’s the hard stuff that makes you grow and transform.
What comes to mind is when I went back to school for a masters in communications management.
Initially it was because I got laid off and decided to invest in myself, even though I didn’t have the money at the time.
The program started and my wife and I had only been married about a year. Our first year anniversary was spent while I was away for school, and a dinner together in Hamilton.
Throughout the two-year masters program, we had three family weddings. And if you know anything about Indian weddings, you know they aren’t small! Even the small weddings have a million pre and post wedding events.
That’s a joke, but I’m also serious. 🙂
All good though – I enjoyed every single celebration.
I remember joining group discussions and doing assignments upstairs in my grandparents house, while the rest of the family was celebrating downstairs.
And then, with one semester to go, I broke my hand c/o a bad martial arts injury. So all of my assignments and papers for that last semester were done by speech-to-text…and you know how much of a pain in the @$$ that is. And then making corrections with one hand…NO THANK YOU! 🙂
It seemed like a battle getting through those few years. But it was damn worth it!
💥 Leadership lesson: DO HARD STUFF!
Now you
Personal growth, professional development … personal and professional leadership … all of it … it DOESN’T have to be an individual battle. It CAN BE a team sport!
The only way for it to be a team sport is if you’re willing and open to it. Here are some questions to help you through that:
👉🏽 What’s the hard stuff you need to smash through to accomplish your goals whether for personal growth, professional development or financial independence?
👉🏽 What’s at least one thing you can do to help you move closer to getting past the hard stuff?
👉🏽 What’s at stake if you don’t get past that hard stuff?
👉🏽 Why haven’t you started yet?
…and if you’d like help creating a plan to take action on the hard stuff in your life, then I’m your guy! I’m good at taking you from where you are to where you want to be … from who you are to who you want to become FASTER than you could alone.
