019 - Solo Episode - Say “Yes, And!” to Your Persistent ‘Yes, Buts’

Happy New Year!

In this first solo episode of 2025, I dive into the powerful concept of overcoming the "persistent yes, but" that so often holds us back from pursuing our goals and dreams - how small mental roadblocks can prevent us from taking meaningful action and shares a framework for transforming those "yes, buts" into "yes, ands." 

Learn how reframing your internal dialogue and taking small, manageable steps can unlock new opportunities and change the course of your life. Whether you're into New Year's resolutions or not, this episode will inspire you to look at your goals in a fresh light.

Key Takeaways:

• Persistent "Yes, But": Recognize the small but powerful voice that holds you back from action and identify what it is in your own life.

• Reframe with "Yes, And": Shift from self-doubt and excuses to empowerment and progress by changing "Yes, but" into "Yes, and."

• Small Steps Lead to Big Change: Break down large, overwhelming goals into smaller, manageable tasks to make progress every day.

• Celebrate the Journey: Celebrate every step forward, even small wins and failures, to keep momentum going.

• Experiment, Don’t Execute: Take the first step, experiment with your approach, and adjust along the way instead of stressing about a perfect plan.
