Whats holding you back?

Whats holding you back?

My 1st dojo 5 years ago.

"I dont have half a gym but we open tomorrow."

Hey there, I was asked this on a FB group I am in for life coaches.

Lots of people were saying well its confidence, its time, its money, its brain freeze, its this its that. Not one person asked yes but where do these hinderances come from?

In my mind the one thing that holds most people back is not fear because you dont have the confidence. The confidence is there you want to do it it just needs developed. Its not the money issue as you can start any business with no money even if it means pre selling.

I think the problem lies in the inability to take imperfect action. Its like the world has told us if you want to launch an idea it has to be perfect. You have to make things spot on so that people bye right away and you can become rich and wealthy. We sometimes forget however that in comparison to the amount of wealthy people out there very very few of them are over night successes. They failed. Some of them lost millions because they launched and it wasnt perfect.

Here is the thing, dont go losing millions on purpose because Im telling you its a learning experience and will assist in driving you forward, to develop yourself to build better relationships and conceputalise greater. Thats not what im saying. What Im saying is who really cares if your background is one shade of pink or another? do people really care if you use the motor car or the speedboat pic? do people care if your logo is an apple or an orange?

Dont hold your self back, take action. Do you have a logo? yes, do you like it no so what launch. Dont spend 6 months sitting around designing a logo. For example. Dunno what to write about on your first blog? Who cares just write something, just get started.

Naturally there has to be a certain level of effort. Im not saying be lazy put some work into what your building but do people really care if your first post is a welcome to my page? probably not.

When I opened my first dojo a friend told me you cant open with half a gym. I told him I dont have falf a gym and we open tomorrow.

We eventually moved into a bigger space. 5 years later we are super strong. I decided to slow down a little and change career from full time martial arts instructor tolife coach so I closed the dojo down in march 2020 and I now hire the local Sports comples 3 x a week. My classes are tought in the sports hall. I have started in a new direction, my imperfect action journey is starting all over again.
