Burn Your Excuses...

I found this blog post and liked it. (sorry for spacing issues - I corrected spelling - spelling is important to me, I know I am not perfect either.) My comments below.

There have been many times in my business where I have felt “Stumped” and “Stagnant” & it’s at those times that I take a close look at what is holding me back!
There are so many ‘options’ out there today for business’s and ways to ‘grow your business’, ‘make money online’ etc… that many people get themselves into a state of “Overwhelment” and then the funny thing that happens is this…”Nothing” gets done/accomplished.
One of my favourite history stories is about Hernando Cortez, who crushed the Aztec Empire. He made their level of commitment ‘essential’ by burning his armies boats, so they had ‘no choice’ but to move ahead. To move towards their goal with no ‘other options’.
This is definitely a story that I think about and ponder when I’m in that ’stagnant’ stage. I give myself permission to ‘Look at where I am at’ and ‘who I am being’. I know that my level of commitment is being hindered by the boats(or our lame excuses) that I am hanging on to!
Once I have clearly identified the boats (excuses) I give myself permission to burn them down & give myself no other option than to “move forward”.
I highly encourage you right now to think of where you are in your business & if you are happy with your level of success/income/business development…are you 100% happy with it? If not, then you need to identify what your boats/excuses are, write them down, then have a good old ‘burning session’.

Start right now to get rid of too many options, and move yourself forward ‘one option at a time’.

I have found myself recently trying to figure out how to get a couple of projects moving forward. I think that I am being my own worst obstacle as I keep "trying".

I need to just put myself into action and stop making up reasons to keep thinking about it.

I have some really great ideas and I am excited about them. However, I kept telling myself that I didn't know how to do them. If the idea came to me, I should be able to do it. :) I tend to doubt my first impressions...to later discover that that is the exact best thing to do... A very bad habit that I am working on improving...

I think I'll have a bonfire and stop doubting myself and my abilities. I hope you will too.
Enjoy right now!
