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

Before you start over, make sure you're solving the right problem. Terrie Power Coaching … Every August I hear the same thing. "I need to get back on track." Maybe you've said it too. Summer has a way of changing our routines. We stay up later. We travel. We say yes to things we normally wouldn't. And before we know it, August arrives and it feels like we should magically have everything figured out by Monday. Can I encourage you with one thought? Maybe nothing is wrong. Maybe you don't need...

What if you never felt ready? Terrie Power Coaching … A question for you... Have you noticed how "I just need to think about it a little more" can quietly turn into weeks...or even months? I laugh because I've said it, too. Sometimes it sounds like:"Let me do a little more research." Or..."I just need to get organized first." Or my personal favorite..."I'll start on Monday." None of those things are bad. But every now and then, they're really just another way of saying, "I'm waiting until I...

What If That Isn't True? Terrie Power Coaching … I think our brains have a favorite hobby. They make lists. Not grocery lists or to-do lists. Lists of everything that could go wrong. Why now isn't the right time. Why you're too busy. Why you don't know enough. Why someone else could do it better. The funny thing is...we rarely realize we're only reading one list.
