71 | Stop Worrying About Other People’s Opinions

So today we are talking about something that comes up quite a bit in our LifePlan sessions – Worrying about other people’s opinions.

Are you looking to other people for affirmation and approval?
Are you finding your self worth in this?

A lot of folks are and it can be crippling to your life.

I constantly see incredibly gifted people  that are so concerned and worried about following rules and for them it’s based on what other people will think of them if they don’t do it.

Their self-worth is in following the rules and when they don’t follow… their world starts to crumble because their world revolves around what other people think of them.

Let me know your thoughts on this one!

Wantrepreneur – What’s holding you back?

Wantrepreneurs are all talk and no action. Fear is usually the culprit.

This is a shout out to all the wantrepreneurs:
What the heck is holding you back?

In case you don’t know what a wantrepreneur is, here’s the definition.

A couple months ago I was coaching a guy who is a high I and S personality style, and is a non-stop idea generator. I mean this guy was even pulling content and product ideas out of my head.

It was a pretty fun coaching session.

Towards the end of the session I asked him, “Dude, what’s holding you back? I mean, why haven’t you followed through with any of these ideas?” He took a few seconds to think about the question and replied, “Truthfully, I’m afraid of failing”.

This demanded a little “coaching call overtime”.

We spent the next hour diving into his fear of failure and how best to overcome it. It was awesomeness! I could see the difference in his countenance almost immediately.

As you’ve heard me say – when you freak you freeze! Fear was freezing him from taking action.

It was zapping his creativity and keeping him in a kind of limbo state.

On a recent follow up meeting…

It’s Ok To Fail!

ailure is inevitable! You’re going to fail! And the great thing is, it’s absostinkinlutely ok!

Failure, Chris LoCurto.com

In LifePlan, StratPlan, and coaching, the fear of failure is one of the biggest issues I face with so many clients. Whether it’s a team member or a leader, a large portion of our population is afraid of failing.

It’s not good enough for me to say it’s ok to fail, because those who are afraid have been taught that it’s NOT ok. They’ve been taught by parents, teachers, leaders, etc. that failure is unacceptable, and in may situation, punishable.

In StrengthsFinder 2.0, author Tom Rath talks about how most of US parents, when seeing their child’s report card of all A’s and one D, would totally focus on the D. Why?…
