KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Procrastination stems from your brain's protective instincts, especially when setting goals that feel far from your current identity. Understanding this psychological aspect is crucial for overcoming self-imposed limitations.
• Mirror work is a powerful tool for building self-esteem and combating procrastination. This involves looking at yourself while speaking positive affirmations and addressing fears, it can help reprogram negative thought patterns.
• Annual self-reflection is vital for tracking progress, including measuring aspects like health markers, financial growth, emotional healing, and continuous learning achievements.
• Everyone has valuable experience to share, regardless of formal certifications. Your journey and knowledge can benefit others who want to reach where you are, even if it seems basic to you.
• Celebration of wins, both big and small, is so important for building momentum and reinforcing positive behaviours in the brain, leading to more successes.
• Labels and perfectionism can hinder progress, understanding that there's no such thing as perfect and removing good/bad labels helps maintain forward momentum.
• The three fundamental childhood needs - nurturing, protection, and guidance - significantly impact adult behaviour patterns, including procrastination and self-esteem issues.
• Personal investment in coaching and self-development can accelerate success, potentially turning three years of growth into six months of progress.

BEST MOMENTS

"I've had the privilege of working with some amazing business coaches and emotional coaches and energy healing coaches. I believe in coaching and I believe in personal development and I feel that as long as you're breathing, it's never ever too late."

"If you label this is a good thing or this is a bad thing, maybe you were raised that way. I know I was, everything was either good or bad. And so the truth is, we really don't know if it's good or bad until we get on the other side of it."

"When you invest in yourself, you're telling yourself, I believe in you. I see the value in you. You can do this. You will go far."

"You have to share what you know, because there's somebody out there that thinks you're a rockstar and they want what you have."

"The more you celebrate your wins, the more wins you have."
