This is a YouTube video titled "QuickCoaching 04 The Word Start" created in November 2019. The content is a motivational talk focusing on the importance of starting tasks or projects despite fears of failure, perfectionism, time pressure, impulsivity, disorganization, and self-criticism. The speaker encourages overcoming these barriers to achieve success in various areas of life.
This word start is the difference between you being successful and you failing. And some of you do not start because you feel like if you do start, then you're ultimately going to fail. But as Michael Jordan said, he's missed every shot that he never took. Well, the same is true in business. The same is true in life. The same is true in relationships. If you don't start, you cannot be successful. So I want to talk with you a little bit about starting now. If you're anything like me, you have a few things that keep you from starting. Okay, it may be starting a relationship, it may be starting a business, it may be starting a hobby, it may be going on vacation, it may be doing a project around the house, whatever. There are so many things that keep us back. And one of the big starting killers is a thing called perfectionism. How many of you struggle with perfectionism? How many of you say, chad, yeah, I struggle with that. And sometimes perfectionism holds me back. Some of you also may feel the clutch of time. Like you may have time pressure, like, okay, I don't have enough time to get this done or when am I going to find time to do it? So time sort of just, you know, because we don't ever feel like we have enough time. That time pressure causes us to not start. Some of us impulsivity, where we have an idea or a concept for something and we're very impulsive. We may go get the materials, we may get the idea, but it never really gets past the idea point. It never gets past impulsivity. Some of us, we're just too disorganized. Some of us, we don't start because like honestly, just chaos, right? We don't know where to start. We don't know what to do. We don't know exactly what our next step should be. We're not really organized. Some of us, we don't start because we are self monitoring. So in other words, we're our biggest critic, right? And so we just sort of know what going to fail. We know we're going to suck or we compare ourselves to.
