The Gap Between Where You Are and Where You Want to Be

I have been reading intake forms and writing HD Your Biz Catalyst Reports ALL DAY.

Wildly different human designs.

Same theme.

A gap between the current realities of life and the life that one desires.

When I talk about this inside of the HD Your Biz® Catalyst Experience, I often ask people to picture two islands.

There is one island…the one you are on. This has your current realities, constraints, work, lifestyle etc.

There is a second island….the one you desire to be at, your vision for your life and business.

There is an ocean between them.

As we take action, make decisions and gain the necessary experience and mastery, rocks rise up to create a path.

One by one, day by day, decision by decision, action by action they connect the two islands of where we are and where we want to be but the caveat is…and this is a big caveat….

The rocks do not begin to appear UNTIL WE TAKE ACTION.

Until we decide to move forward with conviction in bringing our worlds together.

And if we change course mid trip we are building a path to another different island when we are already out in the middle of the ocean straddling two different worlds.

The bigger the vision, the farther apart those islands are, and perhaps there are some micro-islands and stops in between them.

People often look for a “perfect solution” or wait for the right time or some set of knowledge in order to move forward.

We perpetually kick the can down the road, pushing our dreams and desires further and further away.

I want to let you in on a little secret…

This need for more knowledge, certainty, or a specific aha moment to know when the time is correct comes from the mind (head and anja combined).

We live in a society that values logic…

I’ll move forward when….

I have all the answers.
The timing is right
When I have the right offer
The space
The right coach
I don’t have enough insert some perfectionism tendency.
This is conditioning….It is our mind running the show…logic, shoulds, the perennial need for more information as a means to avoid taking action. As a means to avoid discomfort.

When I started this business back in 2021…I didn’t have all the answers.

I didn’t have it all figured out.

I simply knew that I could handle whatever came my way when it appeared.

I built trust with myself and made a lot of mistakes along the way.

The reality is you have to learn to trust yourself and move forward without having all the answers.

There is no one coming to save you, do it for you or some magical formula.

We often give up before we have even given it a chance.

As entrepreneurs, we have to learn to find the joy in the journey because we often move the destination.

All too often I see dreams fade away not because of lack of knowledge or planning but because of a failure to actually take concerted action in the direction of where they want to go…

I see entrepreneurs spend their days in busy work or planning to plan – avoiding the one thing that will actually bring their desires to life: taking the actions that their future self will thank them for and doing the work that moves your vision closer to you.

To build a life at the intersection of your design, desires, and lifestyle, it requires you to show up, each day, committed to the vision, doing the (sometimes boring, sometimes uncomfortable) work – deconditioning, building, creating, and making decisions daily that move you closer to where you want to be.

Our lives are a result of the daily decisions and actions we take.

If you aren’t where you want to be, it means you need to make different decisions and take different actions to get to where you want to go.

This is what I call taking radical responsibility for where you are with respect to where you want to be.

This isn’t sexy or glamorous work.

It is often uncomfortable.

It is often mundane.

It often doesn’t come with applause.

It is work done quietly, often in hours carved out of time we didn’t know we had, doing work our futureselves will thank us for.

Because here’s the thing…once you make it to the island of where you want to be….the work becomes much more joy filled, you are living the way you desire, you are making an impact and life just gets easier.

Your role moves from straddling two worlds – the old and the new and instead becomes a curator, nourisher and creator of the new. You get to develop, iterate and create, but that only happens if you have the courage, stick-to-itiveness and consistent action taking paired with decision making to get there.

My invitation to you is….

What do you need to give yourself a permission slip to pursue?
What actions are you avoiding that you know will move you forward?
What is the one thing that if you moved it forward would move all other things forward?
What is the work your future self will thank you for?
What do you need to tend to, reckon with and let go of so that you an move forward?
Where are you caught in a cycle of stuck?
Cause here is the thing…I don’t have all the answers for your journey.

I can support you, guide you and share my experiences.

I can hold space for you to decondition, to build trust with yourself, to take action and to make decisions, but you alone must do the work.

You alone must make the decision.

You alone must learn to embrace uncertainty.

You alone must learn to trust yourself again.

You must do the work your future self will thank you for.

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest.
