For your #CatharticShove of the Week, I wanna test your commitment and simultaneously call BS on the idea that you don't know what to do next. In this video, I'm gonna ask you an in-your-face question that will immediately squash your excuses, give you clarity, and up your commitment to making your goals happen.

Who knew one question could be so powerful?!

Have you accidentally become a STUDENT of entrepreneurship instead of an actual, y'know, ENTREPRENEUR? Well, the answer is simple, even if you don't want to hear it. It's time to step away from the infocrack.

In this video, I'm ranting about our infocrack addiction and telling you exactly what you can do about it.

Want to save yourself THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS while making potentially THOUSANDS MORE in 2018? Then listen up.

Step away from the infocrack. get off that sales page. don't you already have a massive folder on your desktop collecting cyberdust of all those programs and courses and bootcamps and masterminds that you invested in 2017?

Yep. I'm talking to you.

I love me some infocrack. It's so delicious. Let's you feel busy - productive even - and you get to learn. Learning is always good right?!?!

Wellllll...it's a little more complicated than that.

See, I'm a big fan of learning. But in entrepreneurship there is such thing as too much learning and too little...

The key to making sure your Hilda doesn’t keep you from chasing down your outrageous goals is send her out for coffee so you can confront those fears straight on. And I happen to have some quick-and-dirty steps to help you do just that!

In this video, I'm going to teach you how to overcome any fear in just seven easy steps. Remember, you only feel fear when something matters to you. Most of the time when something matters to you, it means you're about to break new ground or break out of your comfort zone or risk something in a big way.

Here is a simple coaching exercise to help you THINK through - instead of only FEELING through - those fears so you can get clear on your next bold steps. Looking at your next big thing, bust out pen and paper and think through the seven steps.

Here’s a simple coaching exercise to help you think through — instead of always feeling through — those fears so you can get clear on your next bold steps. Looking at one audacious goal...

I've got a question for you. Take this quick poll.

You know that negative voice in your head? The one that says you can’t, you shouldn’t, you suck? It’s not your dark side. It’s not a lizard. It’s certainly not a fuzzy creature that you shouldn’t feed after midnight.

It’s just Hilda.

Let me back up. Say you’ve decided to start something spectacular. Brilliant! But almost immediately after you proclaim, “I am going to {insert your goal here}” you start hearing her voice . . .

You’re dreaming far too big for someone like you.
You know you’re going to fail. Why even try?
They will find out you’re a phony, y’know.
Pfffft, this could never happen for you.
You really want to tempt fate like this?
People are going to laugh at you.
Why can’t you just be grateful?
That’s a really, really bad plan.
You shouldn’t have said that.
Who do you think you are?
Umm, that is a stupid idea.
You’re not good enough.
You’re just...

I've got to tell you about the most liberating moment of my professional life.

I was attending a live workshop by the incomparable Mel Robbins (author of “The 5 Second Rule” and “Stop Saying You’re Fine”) at CreativeLive in San Francisco. The workshop was on “How to Break the Habit of Self-Doubt and Build Real Confidence,” a topic that is right in my lane of nerdery by one of my favorite personal development teachers on the planet. To get into this audience, I had to apply for a seat and be hand selected by Mel and the CreativeLive team. So I was thrilled to just be there as she taught this workshop for the first time ever, and I could never have predicted what would happen once I was in my seat. 

After the first of four live segments of the daylong workshop, Mel told the producer that she wanted me mic’d up for the second segment. She came back to discuss and demonstrate the four traps of self-doubt she...
