    To many people have gone to their grave never willing to risk it. Achieving any measure of success requires one being willing to look foolish and and fail many times before the reward can be presented.Arguably, the same number of still breathing humans go about their daily lives participating in habits that they would have not have normally accepted for themselves. Yet, they participate none the less. Gaining the reward of what you want means being willing to listen to your higher calling and also being willing to risk falling while running after it.

So, when it comes time for something to be done, ask and answer the question of what will happen if I do it now or wait and do it laterTime Blocking-The most productive people I know find decide what tasks needed to be completed. Then they a select a block of time (e.i 10am to 1pm) and they work until all the tasks that they need to get done are completed. 5 Second Rule-The credit for this concept must go Mel Robbins, a renowned motivational and keynote speaker.

Not just about your opportunities, but what do you truly want and desire. Be you boo. Because there is literally no one else like and the world needs your gifts. You are not doing the world, your friends and family, but most importantly yourself any favors by playing small and running a race that is not yours to run.-Protect your peace. We only have so much energy to spend on any given day. Why spend it on thoughts that do not deserve your energy nor do they support your higher purpose. -Complete a live autopsy on what you are thinking. Check yourself on the regular. People fail not because they first did not try. But because they did not have the conscious awareness to mind their mental business. This lack of mining kept them from even playing in the first place. -Ask yourself how do you want to feel in that moment. Put yourself in the space as if you are already there.

Meaning the person who gets so worked up about their experience at a business that they deliver their feedback in such a visceral method that anger is utilized as their weapon and demands immediate compensation of some sort. Two - "Firm but professional." The person who states their case. Even though they had a poor experience, they make their request known with professionalism. Which one are you? When you give feedback in a professional or public setting what are you hoping to gain?

    "What am I to learn?"Every person that has been in our life or currently holds a spot in our space and time is there for a reason. Those reasons are rarely if ever evident at that time. Usually we do not know why a certain person is or was there for us. But the fact that we interacted with them is no accident.This holds true for those that we even do not like. In fact, I will argue that it is those individuals that fit this description is where we can learn from the most. The key though is to start asking ourselves what is this person teaching me. Why is it that when I am around this person, certain things are different and/or I am different. When we can start asking ourselves these questions, we can gain so much clarity about ourselves and that clarity is utterly liberating.Links/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

    "Do the thing you fear to do and keep doing it. That is the quickest and surest ways ever yet discovered to conquer fear." - Dale CarnegieIn today's episode we will discuss why just because you are afraid to do something does not mean that you should not do it. In fact, I will show why the opposite is the truth. Why the fear you are feeling may be the exact internal compass that you need. We will discuss three specific points of thoughts when it comes to fear."What fear does and does not mean. Part of the process" (11:30)There are a few types of fear that really break down into whether that fear is perceived as physical or emotional. The funny thing is our brains have no idea if the fear we have is real or perceived. No matter though, to get to the other side of where we want to be, we must face that fear head on. There is no getting around it. "An exceptional guidepost.” (16:50)Here we talk about why in many instances our fear is pointing us in the direction that we need to go. Keep in mind that our brains are designed to protect us from arm. It is just an evolutionary mechanism that we have. However, that mechanism is limited. It can only do so much. "Moving through fear is part of the process. (19:50)We all want to be successful; in what ever field or endeavor. What's not understood is that champions are champions because they understand the old cliche…Courage is not the absence of fear, but knowing you are afraid and moving forward anyway."Next Steps" (27:01)Get out of your head and into your heart. What am I afraid of? Journal your fears.We are afraid of the unknown. Get a mentor(s). Get your questions answered.Expand your mind by focusing on the positive possibilities.Take immediate massive actionLinks/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com
