Today, I want to shine a light on a common trap many of us fall into—the proverbial waiting room of success. It's that place where our dreams and aspirations are put on hold, often indefinitely. 

But not today. 

Today, I’m inviting you to learn how to leave that waiting room behind for good.

Transforming "I wish" moments into "I will" actions starts with a shift in mindset—from passive to active, from dreamer to doer. It’s about replacing "I can’t" with "How can I.” 

Where could you be if you actually took action today? 

Do you want to still be sitting in the waiting room of success this time next year? Or do you want to be out there living your dreams, celebrating your successes, and building your life and business by design?

In this episode I break down three actional steps you can make today, to move you towards that success that you’re chasing.

Let me remind you, it might feel safe to wait around, but it won’t bring you closer to your goals. No one is coming to rescue you. Achieving your dreams is about being brave, committing to action, moving beyond your comfort zone, and really making those dreams a reality.

Hello, and welcome to another

episode of Unleashing Brilliance.

Today, we're setting our sights on a

common trap that many of us fall into.

The waiting room of success.

It's that place where our dreams

and aspirations are put on hold,

often indefinitely, but not today.

Today, we're going to learn how to

leave that waiting room behind for good.

Now, how often do we stare up at

the stars, wishing on each and every

single one of them, yet feeling like

they're just too far out of reach?

What if I told you that those

stars are closer than you think?

That's right, today we're not just

going to stargaze, we're actually

plotting a course straight to them.

So are you comfortable?

Good, because I'm about to

make you a little less so.

Comfort is lovely, don't get me

wrong, I love to snuggle up on the

sofa on a Friday night with a pizza

and a great movie, but let's face

it, it's also where dreams go to nap.

We've got to wake them up.

Every single day.

I once had the pleasure of working

with a senior executive in property.

She was a woman, a 20 odd mid

20 woman with dreams as vast

as the Australian Outback.

Her dream was to make a life

and career move from Australia.

Over to London, but she packed

a heavy suitcase full of excuses

alongside her dreams, too many

obligations and unsupportive staff.

that old chestnut, it's

just not the right time.

And boss is telling her, Nope,

you've got to put in a hard yards.

You've got to do these jobs before

you can possibly do that role.

Together, we started dismantling

those excuses one by one.

We didn't just dream about

life, or her life in London.

We planned it out meticulously.

We created actionable steps

and embraced a mindset of

possibility rather than limitation.

We even reached out to an

incredible woman in the U.

S.

That inspired her and asked that lady

to give her some life tips, some career

tips to help her fast track her dreams.

All it took was believing, putting

it down on paper and taking action.

And lo and behold, within a year, she was

making the new home of UK and sipping tea

alongside, or PIMS alongside the Thames.

All it took was transforming those

I wish moments into I will actions.

This transformation all starts with

a shift in mindset from passive

to active, from dreamer to doer.

It's about replacing I

can't with how can I.

So what mental barriers are

you ready to break down today?

Are you waiting for the stars to align?

For an invitation?

Well, consider this your

personal invitation, your

permission to chase your dreams.

You don't need to wait for a sign.

This conversation is the sign.

Now, let's imagine.

Where could you be if you

actually took action today?

Think about where it is

that you want to end up.

Do you want to still be sitting in

the waiting room this time next year?

Or do you want to be out there living

your dreams, celebrating your successes,

having joy, living and building your

business and your life by design?

If the idea of starting scares you,

remember that every single epic

journey begins with a simple step.

And remember, you're not alone.

Connect with those who are

on the same path as you.

Join communities that uplift

and support your ambitions.

Right here, we're all about

turning potential into reality.

Into reality is the very thing that

I work with the incredible women in

my elevated inner circle communities.

And it's the work that I

do in organizations on, on

stages around the world.

It's about unleashing your brilliance

about owning who you are and who you

want to become and making sure you are

being that person every single day.

Now what I want to do is give

you three specific actions as we

wrap up today's podcast that you

can start taking action today to

start moving towards your dreams.

The first thing I want you to do

is write down a small achievable

action that you can take right now.

It might be as simple as doing some

research as Making a phone call or

even setting up a meeting, but write

down that one small achievable step

and action that you can take today.

The second thing I want

you to do is schedule it.

Whatever that step is, put it

in your calendar right now.

Give it a time, give it a date, make

it as real and urgent as a meeting

with a boss, with somebody, with a

client, uh, with a family member,

because you are the boss of you.

You are the CEO of your business.

So go ahead and schedule it.

I was working with a client only this

week on this thing, but she has built

a phenomenal six figure business.

She started out when I first started

working with her, she literally

was making 10 to 15 K a month.

She's now built a six figure, high

six figure business, work, numbers,

commercials on fire, brilliant.

But she's always in her business.

She'd lost the joy in her life.

And so we identified the first step.

And the first step.

For her, it was, I just

want to read Janine.

I just want to read some books.

Think about when we're going to do it.

The first step was identifying

a daily activity around reading.

The second step was to schedule it.

She's now doing this eight to

eight 30, every single morning.

The third step that I want to share

with you is seeking inspiration.

Find a podcast, a book, or a

community that aligns with your goals.

Let the successes of others fuel your

journey and remind you that What might

seem impossible is often very achievable.

Let them fuel your journey.

Don't go into comparisonitis or

I'm not good enough, but step in as

your full self and get fueled from

the positivity, the possibility

and the opportunities for others.

Take that energy and move forward.

So those are your three steps.

I want you to identify one small

actionable step that you can take

today towards your goal to schedule

it much like my client with her, I

want to read Janine and scheduling

eight to eight 30 every morning.

And the third thing is find

inspiration, whether it be a podcast,

a book, or a community that will

fuel your fire to achieve more.

Let me remind you as we wrap up

today that it might feel safe.

to wait around, but it won't

bring you closer to your goals.

No one is coming here to rescue you.

No one is coming here to

help you achieve your goals.

It's about you being brave enough.

It's about committing to action,

about moving beyond your comfort and

really making those dreams a reality.

Thank you for joining me on this week's

episode of Unleashing Brilliance.

Please don't just listen to this podcast.

Make sure to act, find that step,

schedule it and find some inspiration.

I'd love you to subscribe to this

podcast, to share your journey,

to share any questions you have

that I can answer on this podcast.

And let's make this a

collective leap to success.

Until next time, step out of that waiting

room and step into your brilliance.

Um,
