Who in this room can raise their hand and say they don’t have any fears about the future? I think it’s part of the human condition. We’re all scared. We’re scared about the future. We’re scared about security, uncertainties.
If you remember the first slide, if you’re not brave, you’re not going to win. The guys who break the four-minute mile were focused on where they were going. Yeah, you have down days; you had downtime. In fact, there were people who’ve done the coaching program, and I see them outside of these sessions, and we have pep talks. Yeah, we all have dips. It’s hard, but it was the consistency of focus over three years that really has got us to where we are now.
I’ll come back to your question; limiting belief? I think the most important thing is I didn’t believe I could do it on my own. In actual fact, that, in part, was true, but what I recognize now is that I was the leader that has led the team. Also, I guess I didn’t believe that this was possible. I didn’t believe that we could build £212,000 in a month with me nothing to do with it.
So I think it’s about hope; it’s about commitment. You’ve got to be fixed on the goal, and the goal has to be clear. I’d say a really valuable thing is to share the goal with the people on your team because they will empower, and there should be no guilt. I’d say guilt is probably a massive limiting belief. To get to the crux of your question, now that I think about it, guilty about going away, leaving the business, guilty about leaving the team, guilty about leaving clients. Sod ‘em! they’ve got a brilliant business that’s delivering value based on their investment. It’s perfect. It’s taken a long time for me to work through that, I think, the guilt barriers.
