The Only Thing Holding You Back…

 

Hello Everyone, Happy Monday "The Only Thing Holding You Back Are the Steps You’re Not Taking." That’s not just the title of my new book, it’s the truth I had to live through. When Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and later Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) left me completely paralyzed, I learned something powerful: The hardest step you’ll ever take… is the next one. But here’s the good news, it’s also the one that changes everything. My book is now available on Amazon It’s for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, scared, or one decision away from turning it all around. Reset or Rise? Most people don’t fail because they don’t know what to do. They fail because they keep living in the land of shoulds: I should work out more. I should eat better. I should spend more time with my kids. I should make more calls, save more money, rest more… You should yourself into exhaustion and nothing changes. The shift happens when you turn your shoulds into musts. When “I should” becomes “I don’t go to sleep until it’s done.” The Four Levels of Standard There are four standards we live by: Poor – You do the bare minimum and expect the world to wait. Good – You meet expectations but never exceed them. Excellent – You work hard, but still blend in with everyone else doing the same. Outstanding – You give that extra ounce when everyone else is done. Outstanding isn’t luck. It’s when you push past “I can’t” and whisper back, “watch me.” That’s the NXT LVL. It’s not perfection — it’s that last rep, that extra call, that meal logged when no one’s watching. It’s the difference between being remembered and being replaced. Intelligence isn’t just about what you know. It’s the ability to stop being your own bottleneck. If you lack the skill, be willing to look foolish while you learn it. If you lack the network, be bold enough to build it. If you lack certainty, be courageous enough to move anyway. Because many people can, but talk themselves out of trying. So today, take inventory. Declutter your mind. Let go of the thoughts and actions that don’t serve the version of you you’re becoming. And if you need help stepping into that next level, that’s what we do. Join us.
