What if the reason you haven't reached your goal has nothing to do with motivation? Would that make you happy or annoyed?
Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, gets honest about something most coaches won't admit and reframes the entire conversation around what's actually keeping you stuck. She makes the case that you don't have a motivation problem at all, and that could be a big relief.
Listen to learn these key takeaways:
- Why motivation is a feeling, not a strategy and why you can't rely on it to carry a 6-month, 1-year, or 5-year goal
- The book writing story: what Diane was missing that had nothing to do with motivation and what finally got it done
- Why losing motivation doesn't mean you picked the wrong goal, you're lazy, or you're failing.
- The first thing you're probably missing instead of motivation and why vague goals are impossible to act on no matter how inspired you feel
- The comparison trap Diane fell into while managing a business with two kids under three and what her coach said that completely reframed it
- Why we create plans for the fantasy version of our lives instead of our real ones and what it costs us
- Why following through for someone else is so much easier than following through for yourself and how to use that
- The simple reframe: you don't have a motivation problem, you have a clarity, plan, or support problem
