b"Today we\\u2019re going to discover something that has the power to majorly change the trajectory of your business! We\\u2019re going to uncover the three main roadblocks that sideline many entrepreneurs (and people in general) and cause them to get stuck in inaction. You will learn specific ways to take massive action, get more done, and get those big results you desire.\\n\\u201cTaking action...\\u201d seems easy enough, right?\\xa0\\u201cJust do something!\\u201d As you and I both know, it\\u2019s not as easy as it sounds!\\nIf right now what you\\u2019re doing in your business is not leading you to the results you desire, then this episode is for you!\\nTo shed some light on WHY we\\u2019re not taking action and to help us understand how to turn that around and become massive action takers, I had the pleasure of interviewing Brooke Castillo. Brooke is a Life Coach\\u2014I actually call her a Life Coach Extraordinaire\\u2014 who has worked with thousands of people (including yours truly) who have been stuck, are not reaching the goals they\\u2019ve envisioned for themselves, or ultimately just need a coach to shine some light on a path that can lead them to the promised land of getting a lot done and achieving big results.\\nQuick note before we move on: I mention that I\\u2019ve worked with Brooke personally; I get more into it on the podcast, but in case you were wondering, I\\u2019m part of her Self-Coaching Scholars program. You know I\\u2019m on a mission to up-level my life, including my health and my weight, but I\\u2019m also on a mission to up-level my mind, and Brooke really gets into this in her program. I know that focusing on how I think about things will change both my personal and business life, and I believe it could do the same for you. Because I stand behind what Brooke does, I have become an affiliate for the program, so if you are interested in joining her program, too, click here, and let Brooke know I sent you!\\nMANAGING YOUR MIND\\nBrooke began with the idea that so much of starting and building a business is about managing your mind.\\xa0She said, \\u201cThere's no way around it, because you can understand how to do everything, you can study all the material, but until you understand that what you think about is going to create the emotion that either drives the action or the inaction, you're never gonna take the action.\\u201d\\nDid you get that? This is important: What you think about creates the emotion that drives the action or inaction. \\xa0If stress, fear and panic are fueling the action, you\\u2019re not going to be able to produce results at the level you want to produce.\\nBrooke shared three entrepreneurial roadblocks\\u2014things that are keeping you from taking massive action.\\xa0\\xa0\\nReason #1: YOU\\u2019RE STUCK IN THE BUSY HUSTLE\\nReason #2: YOU\\u2019RE GIVING YOURSELF TOO MUCH TIME TO GET SOMETHING DONE\\nReason #3: YOU\\u2019RE AVOIDING FAILURE AND DISCOMFORT\\nWhat would be the activities or non-activities that you\\u2019d have in your comfort-time? Schedule it in!\\xa0And remember: this time is non-negotiable. Agreed? Work hard, play hard! : )\\nIf you\\u2019re reading this and have not listened to the episode yet, I highly recommend you do. Brooke gives some great examples, insights, and encouragement that you\\u2019ll only hear by tuning in. Plus, Brooke is so fun! I guarantee you\\u2019ll not only learn a ton, but will enjoy a few laughs while listening to this episode, too!\\nThanks for spending time with me today!\\nAll my best,\\nAmy\\nLinks to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in these show notes and on the podcast episode:\\n\\n Brooke Castillo Podcast\\n\\n\\nLearn more about the Self-Coaching Scholars (As I mentioned earlier, I\\u2019m a member of Brooke\\u2019s program and a huge believer in the work Brooke is doing!
