71. Who Are You to Do That?
Manage episode 267797289 series 2762444
What are the assumptions you're making that are keeping you stuck?
Our assumptions are the assassins of our ambitions.
They convince us we’re not ready, that no one will sign up, that we’re a fool for believing this (our idea) is even possible.
Who are you to do that?
That was the first time I caught a limiting assumption in action. Right after the idea for the mission I’m now on sparked to life, there it was: "Who am I to do this?"
Had I listened to that voice of doubt, would I have started building the business I’ve run for the last 3 years? Would I have created my workshop – where it all started – that has since created a methodology for building the people we dream of being and helped hundreds of people? I don't think so.
What did I do instead?
After that assumption rang around my mind, I did something different for the first time. Instead of listening to it without question, I asked myself "How can I test this?"
Because our assumptions are only the assassins of our ambitions if we let them be. There is another way – to test them.
So that's exactly what we're doing in this episode today.
What's one assumption you're going to start testing after this episode? I would love to hear in a DM on Instagram: @theideascoach, or email: jess@theideascoach.com.
