You know that decision you’ve been "thinking about" for the last three weeks?
Nothing? No? Go on, think about it. You know there's something on your list like that.
What about an offer you want to launch, the price increase for your services that you know is long overdue, or the email you’ve drafted four times (or maybe completely put off starting!) because you’re not sure how it will be received?
There will be something that you're delaying doing and it's not because you're not capable enough or good enough. You're simply letting self-doubt get in your way.
So I want to offer you a quick pattern interrupt today.
Most of the time, when women in business tell me they’re doing "extra research" or waiting for "the right moment", it isn’t actually about due diligence. It’s just become a clever, protective, socially acceptable way to hide.
It still feels productive because you’re busy reading, planning, and refining things, but really your business stays in the exact same place as it has done for a good while now, because YOU haven't actually moved.
You can't build real self-trust by sitting in the planning stage until you feel 100% safe. You build it by feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Doing it messy, taking the steps while your chest is a little tight from the nerves (not heart attack tight, you know what I mean!), and proving to yourself that you absolutely can handle whatever comes next.
A rejection, a ghosting, a negative comment. Sure they may happen, but is it the end of the world?
An acceptance, a new follower, a praising comment. How amazing!
You don't know until you try though, do you.
So what’s the one thing you’re procrastinating over right now that you just need to put out there?
