Facing Your Discomfort
The Number One Key to Accelerated Progress
Most creators and service providers think more hustle equals more results.
That belief isn't just wrong, it's holding them back from their goals.
Here's a simple test to identify if you're focusing on the right priorities:
Ask yourself: “What’s the one obstacle that, once resolved, would make everything else significantly easier?”
If your answer doesn't match your daily activities, you’re missing the real problem. Usually, it's the uncomfortable task you keep avoiding (client outreach, sales calls, building a better offer, or setting clear business goals.)
Here's how to break through:
Identify the Domino: Be brutally honest about what's actually holding you back. If your problem is sales, double down on mastering sales. If it's clarity, invest dedicated time in refining your strategy.
Focus Relentlessly: Dedicate the majority of your time and effort to tackling this one domino. Everything else can wait. Block at least 2 hours a day to knock this down. Results come from focus, not busywork.
Eliminate Distractions: Stop chasing quick fixes like courses, books, and hacks. Real solutions come from facing the core issue head-on.
Mini-Exercise (3-Minute Domino Discovery):
Grab a pen and paper.
Set a timer for 3 minutes.
List every significant task you've avoided in the last week.
Circle the one that makes you most uncomfortable, that’s your domino.
Immediate Impact:
Dramatic increase in clarity and focus.
Accelerated progress as your results compound.
