I don’t know where to start!

“I don’t know where to start!” I hear this all the time.

People with the greatest intentions, the greatest plans, fantastic ideas! And they stop themselves because … “I don’t know where to start.”

Now these people aren’t stupid! Of course they’re not. They’re capable, able people. People who’ve usually been earning their own crust for many years …

Clear the space for Creativity!

I have to confess that I used to sit waiting for inspiration.

I was busy all the time, doing this, doing that … and I expected the muse to appear, tap me on the shoulder, and say, “Excuse me, but were you wanting a shaft of light?”

Do you have a mentor or are you re-inventing the wheel?

Now I don’t know if you’re like me, but when I started out on this path, I thought I could do it alone.

I’d got the qualifications - I worked really hard! - to get high grades so I could feel confident that I knew what I was talking about and like with so many dog training programs, I learnt loads about how to train a dog.

Doing what you love all day long!

Isn’t that what we all yearn for? To be able to do what we love, all day long?

What do you really enjoy?

Today I want you to focus on your good points

Yes - you have good points!

We all have good points. Sometimes they get a bit buried in the hustle and bustle of daily life but they are there and you want to be sure to give them expression as often as you can.

It’s your good points that make you of value to the world.

What habits are getting in your way?

We all have habits.

Most of what we do every day is habit-driven. It makes sense! If you had to stop and make decisions about everything all day long you’d be exhausted by lunchtime!

What is perfectionism, really?

Have you ever made something, looked at critically and then said, “Nah, not good enough … I just need to change this, Adjust that … re-do this bit …?

Is that you? 

If so, you can say, “I am a recovering perfectionist!”

The Road map!

Are you looking right now at a list with YARDS of to-do’s?

If that’s you, you’ll be familiar with the sinking feeling you get whenever you look at it! You’ll know what this scrappy bit of paper looks like and you HATE it!

It’s all too much, I’m overwhelmed!

I was talking to someone recently who told me they had LOADS of ideas. They had even started to work out a plan to get them where they wanted to be but they would start the day all enthusiastic then come down with a crash when they realised they didn’t know what to do!

I was talking recently about the need to trust ourselves more we really do know a lot more than we think. We’re a lot further on than we think we may feel stuck and think we know nothing but how true is that? Really? Do you know nothing? have you taken no steps at all to pursue your vocation?
