3 Powerful Steps to *Finally* Start Your Passion Project
If you’re having trouble getting going, help is here.
We recently explored 3 secrets to boost your confidence. If you missed them, you can discover the secrets here.
Today, we’re looking at a cool new secret to boost your confidence.
Because a talented person with the confidence to share their gifts will always be more successful than a genius who never puts themselves out there.
And you deserve success. You’re awesome.
Practicing this secret can change your life — personally, professionally, and even financially.
Let’s get started!
Today’s Secret: Confidence Loves Action
If you’re like most of the coaches, healers, speakers, and writers I work with, you tend hold off on starting a passion project until you feel ready.
You may say to yourself,
“I’m too busy to do it right now” or…
“I need to know exactly the right steps before I start” or…
“I have to take this class first”
These considerations have their place.
But if you’re aware that you need more free time, planning, or training before you start– and you’re doing nothing about it — what you may have here is a lack of confidence, my friend.
The longer you put off starting the project, the more likely it is that it will never see the light of day.
You deserve better. So does your talent.
Not to mention the people whose lives you could transform if you show up and share your story, your truth, your love, your wisdom, or your know-how.
If you’re 51 percent … or 23 percent … or even 7 percent confident that you can pull off the project, you’re good to go.
Your confidence will build up naturally as you take one step at a time to turn your idea into reality.
Let’s say that you’re 7 percent confident that you can create a profitable business, a blog, a book, or something else that you’ve been dreaming about.
Use this practice to get off your _____ and get going.
Because every day you put off a passion project, your soul dies a little.
Let me walk you through this powerful practice in this short video training (6min:23sec). Scroll down to read my 3-step process and find out why it can change your life.
Pro Practice: Begin from Where You Are
Step 1 — Imagination
Grab your favorite writing materials and go to a place where you can sit undisturbed for a few minutes.
Close your eyes.
Picture your project successfully completed. You might imagine hundreds of people signing up to work with you, or your video getting a million views, or Oprah spotlighting your book.
Whatever your desired result is…
Imagine how grateful you feel that your project is making a difference in people’s lives.
Soak in the feeling of gratitude that you get to do this for at least 60 seconds.
Step 2 — Insight
Now, say out loud, “Higher Self, what is one fun, easy thing I can do today to start my project?”
Note down the ideas that float into your awareness.
If they’re helpful or neutral, you can trust them.
If any ideas are unkind or unhelpful, ignore them.
If nothing comes to mind, start writing anyway.
Ideas may come once you have pen in hand or fingers on keyboard.
Step 3 — Inspired Action
Read the list of ideas that have come to you.
Choose the one that lights you up most.
Go and have fun doing it.
Remember, we specifically asked for a fun and easy first step.
So, go and enjoy yourself.
See where that first step takes you and go from there.
You may be amazed by the adventures and opportunities waiting for you just a few steps down the road.
Why this practice works
Because it directs your mind, energy, and focus toward one of your heart’s desires.
If you keep walking in that direction, you’re going to get there — or somewhere even better.
How practicing “Begin From Where You Are” can change your life
It helps you connect with your inner wisdom.
The more you connect with your inner wisdom and act on it, the more you trust yourself.
The more you trust yourself, the easier it gets to share your gifts and have fun doing it.
That’s why you were given your talents — to share them.
Someone in particular will not rest easy until they hear from you.
When you do what is yours to do, you will find the deepest soul satisfaction a human being can experience on this planet.
Please let me know how your passion project goes. I’d love to hear from you!
