4 Barriers to Overcome For Growth
As we begin a new year, it's natural to
reflect a bit on what we really want out of the next 12
months. Have you made some resolutions? Have you
decided to get in shape? Go for a promotion? Quit
smoking? Get your finances in order? Spend more time
with your family? All of the above? Whatever your
resolutions are, they all boil down to one thing- you want
GROWTH! Congratulations! You've taken the first step
towards seeing positive results. The material you'll find in
the newsletter this year will help your growth journey be
swifter and more fun.
As 2005 kicks into high gear I thought it might be helpful to
make you aware of four barriers that must be overcome to
experience any kind of real growth. These are barriers that
nearly everyone has naturally, and it takes conscious
decision and effort to remove or compensate for them.
1. Unwillingness to accept full responsibility. This year and
every year, your growth is up to you and you alone. Certainly
you have resources and should get help in achieving your
goals, but ultimately YOU will reap the harvest that YOU
plant. Growth cannot occur until you commit to making it
happen.
2. Unwillingness to take decisive action. All the knowledge
in the world is useless until it is put into motion. Once
you've decided to make your life better, make a plan and get
going. Growth cannot occur until you start moving.
3. Unwillingness to look foolish. The pursuit of anything
worthwhile will definitely require you to take some risks.
You'll need to go beyond your comfort zone and in that
process, you'll stumble, fall or look dumb at least once- it's
almost guaranteed. The sooner you stop worrying about
appearances, the sooner growth can begin.
4. Beginning with incorrect premises. Many of the things
that we've come to believe about success, health and
prosperity simply are not true. Some have never been true,
and some used to be true but they aren't anymore. I could
give literally dozens of examples of each category, and if you
want to analyze some of yours give us a call for a
complimentary coaching session. For now suffice it to say
that growth cannot occur until you have an accurate view of
the world.
These barriers must be overcome if you want to grow and
the good news is that you definitely can overcome them.

so. We're excited to help you make 2005 your best year
