Some days or even weeks can get blocked by what we feel are never-ending obstacles. Especially if you are in a spiral of negative thinking, lack confidence in the tasks you know you need to achieve, and constantly feel pulled out of your comfort zone.
So there are 4 ways to kick those obstacles in the butt and get rocking and rolling forward again.
1. When you feel like quitting - dig in deep and time yourself for 15 minutes to keep going. You might find that you stay in the flow and are not so pessimistic about the task.
2. Have 60-second challenging conversations. You might be surprised at how you thought the conversation was not that challenging at all.
3. Commit with yourself to stop engaging in time-wasting tasks that might make you feel better but do not bring any tangible outcomes to your day.
4. Try Value Stacking - if you dislike doing something about the task, do something you love to do at the same time. [Mine is listening to music and sipping a hot cup of tea}
I hope the 4 tips help you break through any obstacles - remember to practice these daily and dare yourself to push through and give yourself a Hi-Five or a treat for sticking it out.

About the author:
Hey there my name is Kathie, I've been in the business world for over 25 years, steering various ventures to success with turnovers of up to 3 million dollars. It all started when I was 27, and since then, I've been fully committed to making businesses not just run but thrive. After two decades of immersing myself in product-focused ventures, I decided to take it to the next level. I launched my own business consultancy, with a clear mission: helping businesses and non-profits grow. My secret sauce? Strategic thinking and a solid commitment to seeing people not just survive but excel. I have a track record to prove it. Taking businesses from ground zero to six figures has been my specialty. How did I do it? Well, chalk it up to thinking strategically, a clear plan, consistency, resilience, adaptability, and a good old dose of stubborn determination.
I've got the scars and the stories to back it up. Like to know more? Say Hello. x Kathie
