Why do you need strong enough reasons to make a change?

All of us are resistant to change. We are programmed to not “rock the boat” unless we really have to. This means until we are really dissatisfied with our current circumstances, we won’t try something new!

This is why you see so many people who seem to be stuck in a job or business that they are not enjoying and isn’t giving them what they want. However, we will change if we have a strong enough idea of where we want to go! A strong vision of the future and what our perfect job or thriving business would be the first step.

To change, both elements need to come together. Our dissatisfaction with where we are now, and our vision of a brighter future combined become much stronger than our resistance to making the change!

The resistance to change does however reduce dramatically once you have taken the first step, whether that is applying for a new job, registering the new company, or investing in a new online platform.

Ask yourself, why do you want to overcome your fear?

Do you have a strong enough reason to change, to move on?

Keep your fear in perspective. In our everyday lives, this same principle applies to change. Break down the change into smaller, manageable chunks. You will still feel fear, but this time it’ll be in smaller, more manageable portions.

Finally, remember there will always be a story of something that has gone horribly wrong for someone else (which is what everyone remembers and keeps the news outlets in business) but just keep that in perspective. Ask yourself; realistically, how likely is that to happen to you? Do your research and for each step work out what your justification is, as well as your fall-back position if something does not work.
