A Concept to Challenge Your Status Quo
This week I observed a client make significant breakthroughs around some beliefs that were limiting their ability to live at the outer limits of their potential.
They are in an extreme growth phase and are in the throws of the “growth-control battle.” They know in order to grow at the pace they desire they have to let go. However, they’ve been paralyzed the past few weeks due to their inability to let go - further amplifying that they are the bottleneck of their growth.
They took this opportunity to reflect on what the REAL problem was. And as they explored this concept they realized they had created all kinds of plans, strategies, and systems for the WRONG problems. In essence, they were fighting the smoke not the fire.
“What was the fire?,” you ask...
They realized that all of their control issues were rooted in some sort of FEAR!
This revelation empowered them to approach the matter differently. They just needed to identify the specific fear holding them back, construct the most potent plan to overcome it, & invite accountability to their consistent efforts.
For them, the fear that was most damning was the fear of what their clients might think, say, or do should the intended experience she wanted to deliver fell short of expectations.
Armed with that knowledge she went into gear constructing the plan.
For her, she created a 5-Step Plan — A: Bring consistent awareness to the fear by auditing her actions to see which actions were most influenced by the fear. B: Set clear expectations with each party as to what the desired outcome of the experience was/is. D: Build & execute a communication system that inspires confidence in all parties. E: Create space to have forced reflection of the progress - starting with the gains.
What is the specific fear that is limiting your growth?
