Bold people are both born…and built.

I’ve sat across from people who, despite their impressive track records or accomplishments, can be visibly uncomfortable with the next moves of their career or business. A common example goes something like this:

"I know exactly what I need to do,” someone will confess, “I've known for months…but every time I start to take action, something stops me."

Internal hesitation on the things we know we should do holds a lot of people back.

The familiar pattern is that:
There is a clear plan in your mind to make a difference → Excitement builds → Paralyzing hesitation sets in → You find a thousand other "priorities" to tackle instead.

The great thing you know you have to do to move the company or your career ahead? It stalls and sits to collect dust, even though you know it could produce solid results.

So many people are sitting on the edges of their comfort zone, and this one thing they need to do will push them over the edge and into somewhere different and new. But that drop…it can make even, and especially, the most confident people pull back. Really think about that feeling, that edge, it’s a signal to push forward.

What use are brilliant strategies if you keep yourself from implementing them?

Learning to overcome your internal resistance is a skill you can take with you everywhere, and what we’ll tackle in the piece today. Here’s how to think about it, and how to do it.
