"If only I had more confidence, I'd go after what I REALLY want."

It's a heavy and deeply painful thing to believe that what you want (if you even dare to acknowledge it) isn't possible for you.

And I hear this all the time from people who (despite their impressive achievements) have convinced themselves that the personal and professional fulfillment they dream about won't ever become a reality.

But while it's super common (I spent years hooked on this one), it is based on a MISTAKEN premise about the purpose and timing of CONFIDENCE.

Let me explain...

You don't need to know exactly what you want before starting to take meaningful steps toward it!

To be clear, knowing what you want (personally and professionally) is great, and it's definitely the end goal.

But insisting that we SHOULD know, or taking action as if we do, during periods of our lives when we genuinely don't can create all kinds of trouble, including stress, overwhelm and a ton of self-judgement.

Ironically, it can also keep us in the dark longer than we need to be...

If you've been getting to the end of your day or week and wondering "what the hell happened?"

If it feels like time is drifting and you're often not sure what to do with it.

If you've been struggling to find the energy, motivation and focus to make progress on whatever you're working on - personally or professionally.

One, you're not alone.

And two, you're going to want to watch this video.

In it, I share two really SIMPLE things that you can do to take more CONTROL of your TIME and use it the way that YOU want.

Plant => Cultivate => Harvest

Your life is a garden. What seeds are you planting?

How much time have you spent ruminating over how you'd expected to be spending early Spring?

It's okay, me too, and it's normal to feel disappointed.

But focusing on your unmet expectations of what life should look like right now is also the surest way to miss the opportunities staring you right in the face.

I know it may not look like the land of opportunity from your window, but that's probably because you're still looking at your life situation through outdated (pre-corona) lenses.

Take the side-by-side images I took on a recent hike. What do you see?

Well, you'd probably see a fallen tree, and a foot bridge.

The first just a part of the natural landscape, and the second a constructed, planned way of crossing the stream.

But what if the footbridge suddenly cracked or got washed away?

Would you lament that your footbridge plans had been thwarted and just sit there, pondering "what could have been"?

Or would you glance over and think "huh, well that big fallen tree is connected to the other bank of the stream, and it looks sturdy. Let's climb across."

Yeah, exactly. If you needed to cross the stream to get to your destination, you'd probably just get on with it and climb across the tree.

Why?

Because you were clear on your needs and priorities (I need to cross), and not particularly attached to your expectations of how to meet them (footbridge or bust!).

Well, we're now in a moment where the footbridge for many of us has been washed away.

And you have a choice:

(1) Sit there and be upset that the footbridge is gone until search & rescue airlifts you out or

(2) Look for another bridge.

If you're into option 2, great news, I have a bridge to sell you. It's an amazing value, and it's in Brooklyn. :)

Seriously though, I do.

It's called 𝗧𝗵𝗲 "𝗢𝗻𝗲-𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, 𝗢𝗻𝗲-𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹" 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 -

"I'd love to work on [𝘐𝘕𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘛 𝘎𝘖𝘈𝘓], but I just don't have the time."

If you've been saying this to yourself for months (or even years)... this is the moment you've been waiting for.

It may not have arrived in the gift-wrapped package you wanted.

But for many of us, this crisis has also presented us with a rare and valuable opportunity.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘.

The opportunity to slow down and take a break from all of our busy-ness that's always pulling us in a million different directions.

And with that, here's the million-dollar question:

𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘?

Simple but not necessarily easy to answer (and act on) amidst the noise, anxiety and uncertainty of this moment.

Which is why I'm here to help, and why I've created:

The One-Month, One-Goal Moment.�

A four-week small group coaching program starting Monday, March 30th to help you answer and act on that question.

One Month. One Goal.

Take advantage of this opportunity and give yourself:

=> The 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 that comes from leaning in and taking action in the face of fear and uncertainty.

=> The 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 of making real progress and gaining momentum toward a goal that matters to you.

=> The 𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧 with, learn from, and lean on the support of a small group of growth-minded people like yourself (+ me!).

=> A 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 during an incredibly chaotic and turbulent time.

It's a small group and space is limited, so if you're up for it, reserve your spot soon and/or gift it to someone you care about.

(Discount if you register by 3/25).

Be well, and I'll see you there.

Anyone else in need of battle-tested wisdom about how to navigate this challenging moment?

Great news: 🌳🌳🌳s (aka trees) have been around for over 300 million years, and they are kindly offering to share what they've learned with us.

It's good stuff, I'd listen up... 🙂

It's really hard to find the energy and motivation to live your best life if you think you need to choose between financial success and happiness.

It's a choice I wrestled with for years as a corporate lawyer, and it's the most common dilemma I hear from clients.

But here's the good news (spoiler alert): it's not true...
