I really don’t want to do this video.
Why? Because i have a lot going on right now with my writing my book, webinars, a bunch of presentations I have to plan for, and there’s just so much on my plate for me and I felt I really don’t have the time to take time to put the video together.
Do you ever feel like that?
I know I go through that a lot. In fact, just to make this video. And that’s why I thought this will be a perfect topic, since this is a part of an entrepreneur’s journey.
As you continue to grow as an entrepreneur, you will have these moments.
Here’s the thing: if you’ve made a commitment to create, or a commitment to do things for your business, for your audience, for your clients, and you violate those agreements, there will be repercussions.
The reason why I did this video no matter what is because I know there will be repercussions and a snowball effect for that matter of me letting go the agreement I made with myself, with the universe, with the people around me and with my business.
If you’ve been watching my videos your business is almost like a living breathing animal that is there to support your lifestyle, so if we break our commitments it’s not only with ourselves, but it’s really a bigger impact.
So what did I end up doing?
Or a better question is what do we do to make sure that no matter what, even in our most stuck state and the most challenging days that we still get things done?
I’ll use this whole video as an example of how i ended up getting this video done.
So my self-dialogue started like this:
“You know I don’t even know what I’m going to talk about so why should I even bother getting set up and all these things i need to do?”
Whatever was missing that I needed to do or set up, this was what I used as an excuse to stop me from moving forward. What I did was I just put this to the back burner.
In other words my first thing was “What am I going to talk about?”
I knew I wanted to talk about leadership, since I just did my Breakthrough Leadership book signing. Maybe something along the lines of taking leadership within yourself and with all the chatter in your brain. But all this came to me later.
So whether I have a topic or not, what is it that I need to do?
Well I need to set up the tripod.
So I set up the tripod.
And when I set up the tripod I noticed this tripod is missing something: that camera.
So I went and got the camera.
When I pulled out the camera I realize this camera is missing the SD card.
So I put that in, and set up sound and lighting and adjust the focus: all these different things that was part of the process.
You see, all i did was start from setting up the tripod.
And that was my only intention at the start but as soon as I set it up I saw what was missing and it took me to the next step.
And as I was going through the process the first step, the topic, that was stopping me from starting on the video, the idea came to me.
So this is the challenge I went through to create today’s video at becoming a leader in your mind to break through those monkey mind blocks that keep us from making those are honoring the commitments we’ve made that actually keep us from making the money keep us from growing our business.
