Watch Out for the Three "W's"

10/21/2019

 
What's getting in your way?

Well if you're like most of my clients, I bet it's one of these three things:

You Don't Know What You Want

What do you want?

When I ask clients that, I usually get a blank stare or a confused look.

Want feels so...indulgent. So...self-involved. And what the heck does want have to do with anything anyway?

Everything. 


Without want there is no WILL.

When things get tough, you've got to have a want that's flashing so brightly in front of your face that you KEEP GOING.

It's so easy to wake up one day and realize you're living a life you don't even recognize. Getting clear on what you want not only helps you keep going when things get tough but determines the course of your life.

You're Waiting

Maybe you know what you want but you're waiting to take action.

You've told yourself you don't have enough experience. Or training. Or knowledge. Or preparation. You should wait. It's the prudent thing to do.

Here's the truth: you'll never have "enough." You'll never walk into court feeling 100% prepared. You'll never feel you know everything there is to know. (At least I hope not. How boring!) "Enough" doesn't exist. It's a myth. It's a fantasy land you think exists if you'd only patiently wait for it to arrive.

You'll be waiting forever.

Stop waiting. Do it now. Whatever "it" is. 

You Aren't Willing to Fail

What's the real reason you're waiting? Well, if you're like most people, you aren't willing to fail. You tell yourself it's because you aren't "enough,” but the real reason is you don't like failing.

Newsflash: no one like to fail! But being willing to fail is the key to moving to the next level of your development. If you want to up your game at trial, you've got to put your fear aside and willingly put yourself out there and give up your excuses.

Start wanting. Stop waiting. Be willing to fail. Get out of your own way and watch as your life, and trial practice, transforms before your very eyes.
