Whatever it is, call it out & name it, then dive deeper into what that fear is protecting you from.2) What is holding you back?Is it the time commitment? Is it the lack of resources? Is it the idea that you could actually be awesome at this and that's scaring the sh*t out of you? Take some time to understand what excuses you're giving as to why you need to do more before you're ready to begin.3) Get your own CoachI know you know the benefit of Coaching.
