You Can't Change your Life with a Maybe

There’s a behavior almost all of us exhibit.  We delay decisions, because we’re not sure what we want yet. And so much time flies by without any action taken, because we’re still unsure, saying ‘maybe’. It could be an important decision to change careers, pick a course to study, or even something as simple as changing the furniture in your living room. But since you’re unsure, you don’t do it.  You say ‘maybe’. What you don’t know is that your inability to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ holds you back from achieving the level of transformation and growth possible for you. It’s impossible to grow by saying ‘maybe’ and not committing to any one decision. You have to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. You have to take that step forward. Because only you possess the power to change your life with a simple decision. So what can you do to break out of that behavioral cycle of constantly saying ‘maybe’, and start making decisions that move your life forward? In this episode, you’ll discover why you’re addicted to ‘maybe.’ You’ll also figure out how to get yourself to eradicate indecision and finally take the steps that transform your life. Listen in… Show Highlights Include: 3 recognizable patterns that keep you stuck at ‘maybe’ (and how these patterns slow your progress to a halt).
