It’s not CHANGE that stops you…it’s the FEAR of that change.
So many of us are actively going through change or are looking at making changes in our careers, our businesses, services, packages, work environments. There are very few of my clients not going through some sort of pivot whether they choose to or not.
WHAT’S STOPPING YOU?
How many times have you sat back thinking I’d love to position myself for promotion, partnership, launch this new service/package, step up to the next level of reputation management, go back to work after maternity leave but something has stopped you. Take a second now to think, exactly what stopped you doing that thing? Be honest with yourself…
CHANGE VS FEAR
Was it the risk you were about to take, the change you were about to make? Or was it the FEAR of what might happen if you made that speech, sold that package, put that idea out there? What would “they” say? What would happen if you weren’t successful?
Change is never easy. I’ll be the first to agree with that. BUT the FEAR of change is always, always, always so much worse than the change itself.
We have a tendency to fear what MAY happen, what people MAY do, what friends MAY say. “I have this great idea but what if no one buys it”. “I think I’d be great in that new position but what if I go for it and don’t get it”. We become almost paralysed by the fear of what MAY happen.
CONTROL
We can’t control the result of the change we’re about to make. We can’t control people’s reactions, the uptake, the sales levels or the overall outcome but we CAN control our fear of that change and our own reaction to that change.
GUARANTEES
Make the change you want in your career or business. Stop over thinking, stop the negative internal chat, the doubt, the self questioning. I guarantee you, the fear of that change is SO much worse than the change itself!

It’s uncomfortable, it’s difficult but you have to do it! Identifying and knowing ourselves is the biggest piece of work we can do as entrepreneurs and leaders. Everything stems from this, your strategies, stories, engagement style and Personal Brand.
Never assume that you truly know yourself. Your brand relies on a consistent message every time you show up. But if you don’t identify truly who you are and the value that you bring – the “Package” that is YOU – how can anyone one else understand or value it?
If we are not authentically ourselves how can we survive in positions of Leadership. Even if you are a soloprenuer and don’t lead a team you must deeply understand who you are and what you bring to the table.
So, it’s worthwhile putting in the time and effort on this because you’re going to consistently use this as your launch pad as you move through your career, or through periods of pivot.
I’ll be covering all this and more in my upcoming 3 day series… Only 8 places available. It is an hour each day. You won’t believe the transformations we’ll bring about in such a short timeframe!
