So often I work with businesses that almost fearful of taking the next step, who are frightened of failure or even fearful of success.
I am always reminded of a story which Dad used to tell me
Coach: What stops you noticing all the opportunities around you?
Electrician: Fear of failure
Coach: What would you like instead?
Electrician: Confidence
Coach: What stops you feeling confident?
Electrician: Fear of failure
Coach: What would you like instead?
Electrician: Confidence
Coach: Notice the loop? Now can I ask you - do you really want to change?
Electrician: Yes I want to. I want the confidence to make the changes
Coach: OK. SO imagine 3 light bulbs screwed into a board with a common cable. The first one is a 10 watt, second 100 watt and third 1000 watt bulb. Which glows the brightest?
Electrician: The third one
Coach: If the same cable brings equal power to each socket, what's the difference?
Electrician: Electrical resistance - ah, I see it is me that is resisting opportunity.
Coach: Life, like electricity consists of pure energy. It flows through all is us equally. There is no end to this supply - only you can cut it off through resistance. Stop blaming external factors and accept full responsibility for your actions.
Once we identify that resistance, once we start working on addressing it....then the success fuse is lit again....do you know your resistance?
