Time to Stop Doing It Myself


Notes as I prepare for what’s next

Terrie Power Coaching

...

I surprise myself sometimes with how determined I am to do things on my own.

I have access to great support.
1:1 coaches.
Coaching groups.
Forums where I can ask questions.
Live coaching sessions I can attend.

And yet… I’ll often sit back and think, “Let me see if I can figure this out my way first.”
Or I’ll stay quiet.
Or I’ll overthink it until I shut down a little.

Why do we do that, even when we know support helps?

Here’s the funny part. I know better.

I would not be where I am today without coaching and community. I didn’t triple my income over the last four years by muscling through everything alone.

That growth came from staying connected to people who challenged me, supported me, and helped me see things from a different perspective when I was stuck in my own head.

And still, I catch myself hesitating.

This week was a good reminder. I reached out to one of my coaches, talked through what was spinning in my brain, and the fog lifted. I stopped circling in indecision and actually focused on moving this program launch forward.

Not because I worked harder.
Because I didn’t do it alone.

That’s been sitting with me this week.
I have a feeling it matters more than we realize.

With intention,

Terrie

Our personality has patterns Terrie Power Coaching … The Moment That Made Me Question Hustle Years ago, I sat in a room listening to someone talk about hustle. Block every minute.Sacrifice more.Push harder. Everyone around me was nodding. I remember my chest tightening. And I had this quiet thought that stuck around longer than I expected. Maybe I just don’t want it badly enough. That thought followed me for years. Because I wanted to be disciplined. I showed up. I cared. I built things...

When stress shifts your momentum Terrie Power Coaching … The part no one notices at first This week almost slipped by without me realizing what was happening. Not because I was busy.Because I was drifting. The stress I’m carrying right now isn’t even business-related. It’s layered. Personal. Quiet. And it changed my momentum in a way that was almost invisible. I didn’t quit anything. I didn’t blow up my plans. I just slowly disconnected from them. That subtle shift is what most people miss....

support changes everything Terrie Power Coaching … I was scrolling this week and landed on a post about someone hiring a trainer. The comments stopped me. Things like, “Why can’t you just be strong enough to do it yourself?”Or, “How sad that you have to pay someone to hold you accountable.” I felt that familiar tightening in my chest. Not because the comments were new.But because I know how easily that voice sneaks into our own heads. This week, as I was trying to put new goals into place, I...
