what are you avoiding?

Do you have a task, a call, a next step that keeps getting pushed to the next to-do list?

Are you working around it, staying busy with everything else, and telling yourself…I’ll get to it soon.

If so, here's what I've learned. The work we avoid is usually the work that changes everything.

I think a lot of the time the things we avoid are the things that would have the most impact…both in business and in life.

Change can be uncomfortable, even when it’s the change we’ve been dreaming of. 

I've been there more times than I can count, waiting to feel ready before making a move.

The truth is ”feeling ready” usually comes from action, not from thinking or talking about taking action.

This week…

Name something you've been avoiding that you know would move the needle. Pick something you can get done within the next week.

Then tell someone about it.

And make sure it is someone who will check in and ask if you did it.

It's a lot harder to keep avoiding something when someone else knows about it.

Now I’m gonna to go do that thing I’ve been avoiding;)
