Earn Your Happy Quickie \u2013 ep. 135 \u2013 How to Figure Out What\u2019s Next\n \u201cThere comes a time to stop looking back and trying to figure out why. At some point, we need to shift our attention to what\u2019s next.\u201d \u2013 Unknown\n Are your thoughts or fears paralyzing you before you\u2019ve even reached a goal? Are you asking yourself questions, such as: Why am I unclear? Why don\u2019t I know what I want to do? Why can\u2019t I move forward? Yikes. I get anxious just thinking about it.\xa0\n Today, I want to talk about removing those types of disempowering questions from your brain and replacing them instead with \u201cwhat\u2019s next?\u201d Sure, I get it. Those questions come from a place of uncertainty and fear and they\u2019re hard to stop. But know that most entrepreneurs (including myself) are willing to explore their curiosity even if that nagging voice in their heads tells them they\u2019re crazy or that it doesn\u2019t fit in with \u201cwhere they\u2019re at.\u201d They don\u2019t let themselves get STUCK. If they feel called to try something new, they do it regardless of the risk.\n \u201cThe people who are the happiest are the ones who are most willing to explore all the little soul hits.\u201d\n Take the Earn Your Happy podcast as an example. It wasn\u2019t something that I had on my to-do list. At the end of the day,\n \u201cI wanted to have epic conversations with people and I wanted an excuse to do it,\u201d\xa0\n And well, you know the ending to that story because here we are. You don\u2019t have to have a plan to move forward. You just have to,\n \u201cBe willing to put yourself out there and fail.\u201d\xa0\n By avoiding any possibility of failure, you risk missing the message you were supposed to hear and possibly something you were called to do.\n So, what\u2019s next? My advice\u2026 Ask more empowering questions (ditch those that don\u2019t serve you anything more than a side of anxiety) and explore the resources around you. Run toward the failure and thank it for what it\u2019s teaching you.\n And one more Earn Your Happy Tip for the road\u2026the more you can fail the better.\n \xa0\n In This Episode You Will Learn:\n Future\n Resistance\n Fear\n Failure\n Curiosity\n Entrepreneurs\n Podcast\n Resources:\n \xa0\n Checkout my website at loriharder.com.
