Just Do It!!

Hi beautiful people,

Last week at the incredible International Women’s Day event I attended organized by Unique Ladies Business Networking, we were all asked a question……..

“What is one piece of advice you have either given or received in business?”

My answer was – Just do it.

That’s the advice I give to so many people, whether they are in business or not.

It’s something I do all the time; I just do it.

Why?

Because the alternative is self-sabotage, procrastination, over thinking, paralysis of analysis!!

And you end up NOT doing it.

This could bring up so much regret, so many….’if only’……so many missed opportunities.

Have I felt scared? Of course!!! But nothing bad has ever happened because I decided to just do it.

Have I messed up? Of course!!! But mess can be cleaned up.

Of course, some things need to be thought through first, otherwise it could be seen as being reckless.

The thing that often stops us from just doing it is fear.

     Fear of what if I get it wrong.
     Fear of what if I can’t answer a question.
     Fear of what will they think of me.
     Fear of what if nobody turns up.
     Fear of not feeling good enough.
     Fear of not feeling worthy enough.
     Fear of not feeling deserving enough.
     Fear of feeling imposter syndrome.
     Fear of messing it all up.
     Fear of it not being perfect.
So much fear.

Fear keeps us playing small.
Fear never moves us forward.
Fear keeps us stuck.

Fear is NOT who we are.

My invitation to you all is to next time an opportunity comes your way, provided it’s in alignment with who you are, just do it!!

Make that phone call.
Record that video and put it on social media.
Accept that speaker’s slot at an event.
Speak up in meetings and at work.
Go to that restaurant on your own.
Join that club.

Whatever it may be,   JUST DO IT!!

And enrich your life!!

Sending you all so much love from my heart to yours.

Lynn
