19 Painful Truths You NEED To Hear

1. You said you was going to start/stop doing XYZ months ago, we are now a few days away from the New Year and you STILL haven’t started/Stopped 

All that time has gone and you are no further ahead. Call yourself out, stop putting it off, no excuses and GET STARTED!!

2. You already know what you should be doing, stop waiting for someone to give you the approval or the thumbs up for you to start.

Stop chasing shiny object syndrome, find something and COMIT to it. Reaching your full potential will require you to do things that feel uncomfortable.

3. Most of your ‘Research’ is actually procrastination disguised as productivity.

Figure out what you’re afraid of and face up to it.

Whilst you continue to be stuck in research mode.

5. No-one is going to sort your life out for you.

Years will pass by and you will continue to be stuck where you are. Stop waiting around and take responsibility for your situation.

To get traction, you need to get small wins on the board. Pick one thing and commit to it.

You can build your tolerance to discomfort in small doses. Start doing the things that make you uncomfortable.

8. No-one cares about the ideas you come up with but never execute.

In fact, people are probably getting tired of hearing you talk about it. Get out of your head and take action on those ideas. It's not that noone believes in you, people are just tired of hearing all these wishes you keep coming up with without any execution.
