If you came to coaching after another career, you already know exactly how much ground sits between beginner and expert. You’ve crossed it once. And that knowledge can turn on you, because your perfectionist brain starts insisting you should be further along by now, and that the distance is simply too far to travel.
I see this with new coaches all the time, and with established coaches chasing a goal big enough to scare them. So this week I’m sharing an episode I first released on UnF*ck Your Brain, about how I’ve accomplished some pretty big things (a multimillion-dollar business, a New York Times bestseller) without ever having a five-year plan.
You’ll hear why detailed long-range plans can keep you from taking action at all, what happens when your brain goes full turtle-on-its-back, and the simpler approach I use instead: set a specific goal that excites or scares you, then take the next necessary step, even when you can’t see the one after it.
If you’ve been stalled because the path looks impossibly long, or because you can’t map out every step from where you’re standing, this episode is for you.
