Are you getting overwhelmed? I know how you feel.  Whether you are a start-up or have been in business many years, quite often you are faced with so many choices.  The best thing to do when you feel like this is to stop, breathe and make one decision at a time on what is important to you so that you can quickly move on again …

There’s work to do, clients to serve, people to see! Your actions will be the key to your success but there may be some uncomfortable moments that you experience along the way. Some people call it “stepping outside of your comfort zone”. I expect you’ve heard that saying before?

I want to invite you to feel comfortable “stepping out” instead!

Stepping out simply means “taking action on your dreams”. When you take regular action, you will learn valuable lessons and get important feedback. So what’s stopping you? Too much on your to-do list? Too many distractions or indecisions? or maybe just a fear?

I suggest you need to first take some time to work out what is important to you.

Give yourself some space, write things down or talk to someone else as it helps sorts your thoughts. Otherwise they stay as thoughts in your head and nothing more; going round and round, always questioning and getting more annoying and louder the longer they are ignored.

When I write things down, I can see it. Recently I was on holiday in the Grand Canyon and next to my bed was a notepad. Each page was entitled ‘thought pad’.  How helpful!  Get your thoughts out of your head and on to paper. See what you want to do. Prioritise your notes, drawings and even use a Mind Map. Not every thought or idea is going to work out though. I’m sure you have hundreds of ideas haven’t you? As creative entrepreneurs, ideas are usually aplenty.

But when we don’t act, feelings show up in ways we generally don’t want them to. In doubts; in unhelpful questions; in self sabotaging ways we think we have no control over. But we do! In “doing” something – even a little something – it moves you one step closer towards your goal. And all those steps start to add up, don’t they?

I help my clients by giving them clarity on many all important decisions and creating a very do-able action plan. This empowers them to take action and realise their dreams. Never worry about action. Only inaction!

You can do it! Imagine how you will feel once you’ve finished it or at least started it? So step out today, decide and do. You’ll feel much better and your business will thank you for it.

Here’s to your success …
