Last week I shared with you that one of my weaknesses has been overcoming the fact that I usually “ready, fire, aim” as opposed to “ready, set, go.”
Learning to do the SET step in Ready, Set, Go has been my weakness. What I have found from nearly 11 years of working with the Organize 365® community is that GO is the area that tends to trip you up.
Being able to GO – getting started or keeping moving on your goals and overcoming your self-limiting doubt – can paralyze us.
I used to be where you are. I used to worry about what others would think of me. Will Greg (my husband) judge me? Can I meet or exceed my own goals? What if I can’t do what I want to do? What if I can’t live up to my expectations? What if I invest time or money and fail?
The what-ifs would paralyze me and keep me from starting. It allowed me to stay stuck. Stuck in my reactive and negative life. I would start a cycle of getting ready and set but never going.
Ready, Set, repeat. There was no risk with ready and set. I didn’t have to step too far out on a limb or too far out of my comfort zone.
Then one day I asked myself – what if everything happened to me? What if everything was easy? What if I did achieve these goals? What if I was able to achieve a bigger impact on my family, community, and ultimately the world?
And I ask you – What if I had never started Organize 365®? What if I stopped podcasting tomorrow because I worry about looking silly or foolish? What if all of the Organize 365® products went away and were no longer resources to you?
How did that make you feel?
I don’t know what it is that you have to offer the world. I don’t know what a more organized life with less stress and more time will do for your family, your community, and your work – but I bet it is more than you even realize now. And ultimately the only way we will know is if you GO. If you get started. Stop holding onto that branch of self-limiting beliefs and negative what-ifs. It’s time to take the next step in your organizing journey – it’s time for you to go.
What great timing! We are headed into a new year – clear out your house, clear out the cobwebs in your mind. Get ready, set, and let’s GOOOOO. I believe in you. You can do this, you have what it takes, and the time is now. Please join me. We are going to do this together.
If your goal is to reclaim your home and your time – I have the solution for you. The Productive Home Solution™ is a new way of thinking about your space and time! Half of the battle with anything we are ready and set to do is deciding what the next step is (and then the next step after that). Avoid decision fatigue and use The Productive Home Solution as your roadmap to guide you through the journey of getting organized. The organization will carry you through so many of your goals and was the first step for me getting to where I am today.
