I have been working with an NLP coach lately. While I help him with blogging strategy, he helps me with life strategy. It’s interesting stuff.
When I have his blog up and running I will introduce you to him, he is a cool guy, but before then I have to share with you an insight that he dropped on me like a water-filled baloon from a 17th story window.
How are you going to achieve your goals if you don’t have clarity about what you really want?
Clients often sabotage their own goals by placing restrictions and I think that I am doing the same by having goals that are potentially at odds with each other, or by having short-term behavior at odds with my long term goals.
One example is I keep saying I am going to not take on as much consulting work so I can concentrate on my products, webinars and courses. But have I taken my services page down? No.
Knowing exactly what you want is trickier than it sounds. By being precise you actually close off alternative routes, which feels uncomfortable, but while you are flip flopping between two choices you make it more difficult to get to the destination you want.
If you set a destination you can course correct on the way, but until you know your destination you can’t really take off.
As I say, interesting stuff …
