Have you ever told yourself, “I’ll start working on THAT once I’m done with this big project!”  Or… “I’m really going to get started on that goal once we’re on the other side of the holidays.”  Or… “I’m really going to start making time for ME… once I get this off my plate.”

Ever been there?  Well… if you’re like me (and many of my Coaching Clients)... you tell yourself that but THEN… on the other side of that project… the holidays… or getting that thing off your plate… something else fills that time and you never get started on the thing you REALLY want to do… experience or achieve.

Yup… that phenomenon is what we call “The Illusion of Future Time.”

And in THIS episode we not only talk about “The Illusion of Future Time” and how it can sneak in and kill your big dreams and goals… before you even get started. But we also dig into tools to help you to BEAT the “Future Time Illusion!”

It’s a deep dive!  That means it’s just you and me!  And we are going to have fun.  So let’s get to it!

START SMALL:

  • If I could give you 40 hours to work on THAT THING... would you take it?
    • REMEMBER: 15 minutes a day + 5 days a week + 52 weeks a year = 65 hours over a year.
    • 15 minutes doesn't feel like enough to a PERFECTIONIST!
      • So… watch out for the "PERFECTIONIST DILEMA"
