The Fear of Failure

19m · Published 28 Sep 14:25

What You Can Do About Your Fear of Failure

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling; but in rising every time we fall." ~Confucius

What if falling was a nature part of the success in life?

How do you define failure? We need to know what failure is to us.

"You miss 100% of the shots you never take." Wayne Gretzky

Brian Tracy says instead of failure let's call it feedback.

Coach Ruthie Facebook Page Video https://www.facebook.com/270572966626914/videos/468134273537448

We have a Fear of a Negative Evaluation of Others. If you're surrounded by people that support you, this is just an experiment. It's not a judgement on you as a person.

Risk is a part of life. What risks are you taking that seem scary? What's it gonna be like if you reframed it? Tell us at [email protected]

Let's let our results inform us and not paralyze us. What if your results were feedback and not failure?

Quote: "Take risks: If you win, you will be happy. If you lose, you will be wise." ~Anonymous

Go forth. Risk and Learn!

Pick Yourself

25m · Published 14 Sep 13:11

If you don't believe in yourself, how are you going to be a qualified candidate?

Having confidence in yourself is what grows into the character you need to move up.

Jamie at Benders before doing MBA studies & switching careers.

The American Abolitionist Frederick Douglas was "Committed to freedom, Douglass dedicated his life to achieving justice for all Americans, in particular African-Americans, women, and minority groups. He envisioned America as an inclusive nation strengthened by diversity and free of discrimination."

This is so appropriate for the season we're currently in.

Quote: "I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs."

What keeps us on the sidelines?

What paralyzes us?

Examples of what picking yourself looks like:

Choosing to set aside time to work out

Researching a new career

Scheduling an interview

Taking a risk

There's a time to wait and there is a time to ACT.

A--Allow yourself to practice

C--Confidence is believing you are capable to learn what's needed to grow

T--Transition out of the passive approach to life

How to get anything what you want

26m · Published 17 Aug 15:05

In this episode, Jamie and Ruthie share a process of 5 simple steps to achieving a goal. Instead of calling this goal-setting, they call it "going after what you want"

Step 1: identify what you want. This first step is crucial. Be specific and define it. Example. I want to lose 10 lbs by September 1st, or I want to sell my car by next week.

Step 2: Research/resources

A. Learn about the topic

B. learn about the Obstacles

C. Time & Investment. (What is the cost of pursuing your goal)

D. Who's done this well? Find the others and mentors that will help you on the journey.

Step 3 Commit to the plan.

At this point, you can choose to step back or commit. If you are committed then you're all in! Use the words "I commit" Those words are powerful. Congratulations!

Jim Rohn says " If you really want to do something you'll find a way or you'll find an excuse."

Step 4

Work the plan- Trust the process you built intentionally.

This is the step where the work is done. Don't overthink the outcome. Yes, it's ok to desire the goal but focus more on what you can control. Work on the daily and weekly tasks in the plan. You can't guarantee the results but you can control what you do now! Walk in integrity and do the simple small tasks you put in your plan.

Step 5

Evaluate & Celebrate

Course correct the plan as you learn what works. Iterate your daily and weekly tasks. Also celebrate! Reward yourself as you move through the process.

Victim Mentality and Becoming a Person of Action

33m · Published 03 Aug 14:00

Are You a Victim or are you a Person of Action?

Exploring Our Post-Pandemic Mindset and Changing it for Good

"Something bad happened to me!" We can process the emotion in the best possible way.

We all have a person of action and a victim inside of us.

When a problem comes, we can blame others.

But if we choose to become a person of action we decide this is OUR problem.

Making the shift out of the default victim to the transforming Person of Action.

Notice when you're taking the victim role. The clues can show up in your body: tensed jaw, tight shoulders, upset stomach, etc. Coping with stress can also show up in eating junk food and treats. Maybe you're looking outside of yourself for a solution or begin blaming others. Instead ask yourself "How can I move forward?"
Be vulnerable. Share how you're feeling with a significant other. "What am I going through right now?"
Ask better questions. "What does this make possible?" "What would someone I admire do in this situation?'

What are we responsible for? There are things outside of our control but we have control over a lot if we change our perspective. We can take some action and take a different approach.

Our Amazon products were deemed non-essential and our income was on hold as a result of Covid-19.

Example of unhelpful, victim questions: "Why? Why me? Why is this happening? Why is this happening to us?"

We had to accept our situation because there was nothing we could do about it.

Our Airbnb was also shut down as U.S. travel came to a halt.

We were victims of the pandemic, losing our livelihood.

Maybe you too are in the middle of a trying, difficult circumstance. It's still possible to make progress while frustrated. Grieve with personal responsibility. Acknowledge the emotion and also ask "What's my next step?"

Bad things happen in life and we respond to it in the most honoring way to yourself and the people around you.

The 5 Phases of Freedom

25m · Published 11 Sep 12:28

A year from now you will either be celebrating newfound freedom or feeling stuck.

Where phase are you in?

1-Dream & Design Phase: What's possible? Creative process as you imagine what your life could look like? Allow yourself to be playful. Open yourself up to new resources.

2-Demo Phase: Executing phase. Saying yes to move toward a new life means tearing down walls and removing the unnecessary junk. Purging & pruning.

3-Difficulty Phase: Hitting a wall. This is where a couple might call it quicks. Dealing with conflict. Running out of steam. Needing the support of others and God's help. Dan Miller calls it "the sick chicken phase." Kirk Franklin song "My Life is In Your Hands"

4-The Determined Phase: Homestretch. Almost done. Mini-celebration. We see the light.

5-Done Phase. Celebrate completion. Accomplished project.
