I am so glad I did I have had an amazing, restful and happy 2 week break from business, over Christmas and New Year and my realisation was I really have a wonderful life. My colleague and very dear friend, Paul, and I headed with our families to the dales of North Yorkshire where we rented a cottage for 5 days. I have always wanted to get away from home for Christmas and begin the celebrations a few days before, instead of working up to the last minute and then dashing around trying to ensure that everything is ready 24 hours before the big day, to only be exhausted as the main event takes place and everything passes in a whirlwind. This year Paul and I had chatted about what an ideal Christmas would be and that we should make it happen for our families sooner rather than later.
DON'T LET FEAR HOLD YOU BACK - (THINK)
That's what I want to write about in this blog post - getting past the fear of making changes and following through on your goals. It is really a case of 'Think, Act and Follow-Through'. Let me ask you, how many times have you talked YOURSELF out of doing something you really wanted to do? I know in general that happens a lot in life but for many of us in business I believe it is almost a daily occurrence. I can see you nodding your head in agreement. In 2012 I had the opportunity to live my Christmas dream of open hearths, blazing log fires, beautiful scenery, a huge kitchen to prepare sumptuous food in, a real rural retreat cosy, spending quality time with my family away from all the hustle and bustle of my everyday life. It is something I always wanted to do. We made the booking in September 2012 and when we arrived in December it was the most fulfilling feeling as all the families delighted in the dream now a reality. But we could have missed out on this and let fear hold us back earlier in the year when it was just a dream.
RISK VS RESULT - (ACT)
So here’s the question. What are you going to do different two weeks in to the new year so that you DO get different results? The reality is you can't do it by yourself. You need to get your head sorted, get a strategy that gives you a mindset that gives you supreme confidence and moving forward with your goals. We are all human beings. I hear your pain, I feel your fear, I see your challenge and I also know YOU CAN have your dreams. We all have fears. and we ALL need help and support. I would not be as successful in my business had it not been for my amazing business coach, mentors and incredible friendships with some of the UK's most successful business owners. And that’s what you need, too.
Get past the fear. Make a decision, today, to get the professional guidance and support you need so that you, too, can go further faster and in a more profitable way. And have lots of fun doing it! I would have kicked myself and regretted it had I backed out of that experience last month. Seriously. Don’t let this be a year of regrets for you in your business. Think about your dreams, act on what you want to have happen and follow-through on your commitment. There’s no looking back. The future is yours for the creating. Get a coach today and get yourself into a mastermind group.

Bear with me here and read on there is a strong lesson in this blog post. I could have looked at the cost last summer when I committed to making this dream happen and seen it as a luxury we could put off until next year. After all we had already had a luxury holiday in the summer that blew us away and surely this was enough I thought as my mind waged a war against itself weighing up the risk, I had to delve deeper and imagine the result and ask myself what was I afraid of. Fortunately, my coach came to my aid like the cavalry as I shared my fears with him. He knew what I was capable of as he had supported and guided my growth over the previous 6 months and knew how much I wanted the experience and he wasn't going to let my temporary fear & self doubt get in the way. I am so thankful to him as he believed in me when I doubted myself and my ability to pull it off and feared the added pressure of putting this on my goals list and committing to it.
REFOCUSING AND CENTERING MY MIND - (FOLLOW THROUGH)
REFOCUSING AND CENTERING MY MIND - (FOLLOW THROUGH)
I looked at my targets and adjusted accordingly, more importantly attuned my mindset to a new frequency in order to move forward FEARLESS with unwavering doubt, inner resolve and trust to ensure we hit this goal, I had thought about this for months, years and now we were taking the RIGHT appropriate actions, to make it happen and following through. It was without a doubt most definitely the Christmas experience of a lifetime so far. So now you maybe thinking well, so flippin what Debs? Who really cares? What difference does this make when it comes to our business?
IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
Think about this experience for one moment and how it relates to your business. When and where have you had a dream and you talked YOURSELF out of doing what you wanted to do and are still doing this. It’s not because you aren't capable it’s because you let F.E.A.R. get in the way. If you are ready I have 2 coaching life changing words for this behaviour
STOP IT!
Many of you are sitting at your desk, behind your computer, right now, realising that the second week in January has almost ended. And what has changed in your business? Nothing. What happened? It won't surprise you to read this. You're doing what you're doing with that TIRED OLD mindset and guess what you keep getting what you’re always getting and what's more you are sitting there by yourself, alone, frustrated thinking you have got it altogether and ‘hoping’ that things will just get better.

NEWSFLASH - HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY
