Take Action In Your Life

Analysis paralysis. Why is it sometimes you know what you should be doing, but you just kind of like keep reading about it or listening about it or going to seminars on it or reading books or blogs or posts or following people. But you're consuming all this information and not taking action. And you keep thinking, why do I just keep stewing on this? I keep thinking about it, but I'm not doing anything towards it. What's going on? Why am I spinning my wheels, studying all the time and not taking real action? Let's talk about that. First and foremost, I'm going to say something that you're not going to like. But out of these four ideas, I think this is the most important one. To kind of grab somebody and rattle them a little bit when they've been dreaming about something or thinking about something or studying it but not taking action. And so let me say it lightly but kind of directly. And that is they're selfish. They've gotten into a place where all they're thinking about is themselves in this process. Do I know enough? Am I good enough? Am I ready? What will people think of me? Do I have the complete plan? Have I taken out all the risks and all the unknowns? Have I considered every angle from Sunday? They've done everything they could possibly do to control what is ultimately the uncontrollable. But worse, they got their perspective too myopic. They're just focused on themselves. To move someone forward. We have to have them have a greater connection with why they're doing it. The reason a lot of people haven't taken action is because they're just so focused on themselves and they're minimizing themselves. Doubt, concern, fear, worry, hurt. They forgot to serve. You want to take more action? Serve. Think about what is the outcome of when I do this? Who's it going to help? How's it going to change their life? How's it going to shift society? How's it going to make that difference? Connect with that again? You got too much in your head and out of the outcome. You got to get your head back in the outcome. Because when you start attaching to the difference, to the real magic and you know it's going to help somebody, your brain goes, hey, dummy, do something here. You got to help some people. You'll get off of that rotation of self concern. It is the self concern that is really fueling the analysis paralysis. We got to get you back into service. Because you know what leaders do, you know what those who are out there trying to serve the world make A difference. They do the difficult work even when they're unsure, even when they're unready, even when they don't have all the information they need. Because it's their job to help people. So they just get in the mix. Let me help you. I don't know all the answers, but let me try to help you over here. They're serving others. And from that higher calling, that higher mission, that higher purpose, they're ready to get in the game. Even if they don't know exactly how the game works, even if they don't know all the controllables, they just get in the game because they want to help. So we got to get that serving spirit back into your body and into your mind. If you're ever going to move beyond analysis paralysis, there's a bigger game to play. There's people waiting on you who need your help. Get over your stuff and help them. I think that will serve. The second idea is to clarify what is your vision and the process necessary for making that vision come true. Because sometimes analysis paralysis is that you just don't feel competent or clear. It's just like, you know, you want to help people. You're not exactly sure what you're supposed to do or how to do it. So what I'd recommend is think about the ultimate outcome when someone's life is changed, if that's what you're seeking to do, or a business is built or something is actually in motion, happening. What's it look like? I mean, in a detailed level, like, what's the ultimate outcome look like? In other words, how do you know when you've won? How do you know when you're happy with it? It's a success going well? How do you know what conditions would have to be met? What would your day be like? What would the business be like? What would the impact be? Like? Really think about that and then work backwards from that. Okay, if the outcome is my business is running without me, but I find myself doing all this analysis paralysis, I don't know what to do. Well, the problem is there's this disconnect. Business run without you. You're researching, but there's nothing happening in between because you're not working backwards. Let's work backwards. Okay. Business runs without me. What's that mean? Well, it means income's coming in. Okay, where's the income coming from? Well, it's coming from automation and my team. Okay. So I need to automate things and create team. Well, how do I do that? And you just keep working Backwards to today. And that's what's really important is if you feel like you're just spinning your wheels, it's because you don't have a clear plan and outcome. So sit down today, create that plan, create that outcome, and start working it all the way back to today. What's step one? A simple thing to do that to help you with that is this next point. And that is just accomplish three things every single day to move forward to that outcome and plan three things every day. That's it. It's like that's. You say, you know what? I'm still uncertain. I still don't have all the variables. I'm great. What's the three things you did today? That's where you get people. It's like, just take three actions every single day and things will be great. A lot of people say, well, I don't know what to do. Well, that comes into now, once you have the service in mind, you have the outcome in the process. Sometimes you need to model other people. What else is other people doing? And if you're uninformed with that, it's hard to know the path. Sometimes what you need to do, you need to go to seminar or conference from somebody or a group of people who are doing the same thing you want to be doing. Sometimes that means getting a coach or a consultant who already has the path figured out and can serve you in that process. Sometimes that means as simple as just networking around town to figure out who else is kind of doing this, who I can take out to lunch and ask them about their process. Sometimes just modeling others will give you that motivation because you'll have more clarity and perspective to begin. Then last piece. It has to become a daily practice for you. If there's something that's important to you, a lot of the analysis paralysis, what really is stop blaming analysis, because it's really. Your brain is not the problem. The discipline, it's the willingness to show up every day and work towards something. That's why I say those three goals or accomplishing three things every day is really important. But I really want to fine tune this here for you and make sure you're hearing me every day. That the problem with analysis paralysis, that it just. It happens more often for us the less often we do things make sense. You get stuck more often when you're not moving more often. I know it's almost like you have to kind of think about that because there's a little irony there. But the reality is if you keep finding yourself stopping and thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking. It's because you're not in emotion enough. We need to get you in motion again. And the only way to get you in motion again is to make sure you have a daily habit that is keeping you moving forward to that thing you want to make happen. Look, the analysis paralysis. If it's a mind game, then I get it. Maybe you just have this problem that you're just constantly, always in your head. The way to get out of your head is to get in motion serving other people. Do that and you'll start to experience what we call the charged life. Hey guys, it's Brendan. Did you like this episode?
