Last weekend I spent an awesome Saturday with the 6 ladies in my mastermind group and the key ingredients to this get together were scissors, glue and magazines. No… We weren’t regressing to our childhoods (though we were all surprised at how much fun this primary school type activity was) – we were doing something much more grown up. We were creating vision boards which showed our intentions (a visual representation of our goals and dreams) for the next 12 months. I’m excited. This group of ladies is intending to achieve a LOT this year. While of course making sure we enjoy ourselves in the moment (always crucial) we also have some HUGE plans – which means lots of vulnerability ahead as we go for them. What do I mean?Well… there is a close link between vulnerability and your next success. I’d even go so far as to say it’s inescapable. This link runs so deeply that in my experience, one rarely (if ever) exists without the other. I say this because to achieve your next success, whether in your personal or your professional life (you know here at Limitless Coaching it is essential to look at these aspects of your life together in order to create the lifestyle you want) – you need to step out of your comfort zone to make it happen.

They needed to stay put – legs slightly apart (second position distance for the childhood ballerinas among you) and you stayed there – stuck in the mud – until another player rescued you by tagging you and crawling through the gap between your feet. This game gave us hours of fun through my young childhood and it may have been the same for you. Fast forward to adult hood and the concept of being stuck isn’t so much fun. It certainly doesn’t feel like a game… And unfortunately, especially for mid career professionals and even sometimes for those quite early in their career but a few years into a job – this feeling of being stuck (and too still for comfort) is quite common. So what do you do? Are you content to stay stuck or do you crave movement of some kind? For those of you ready to move, here are 3 tips for becoming “unstuck”: 1. Do something differentOften feeling stuck can relate to monotony. Your routine may look like any of these. You go to work, you go home. You go to...
