“I’m not really motivated.”

“I’m not feeling the mojo.”

“I just can’t seem to get started.”

“I know what I should be doing, but I’m just not doing it.”

Coaching clients will say phrases like these from time to time.

They’re code.

Code for: I don’t really want to do what I say I want to do.

Because, you see, the people we work with are driven.

They achieve. They produce.

They get shit done.

It’s hard-wired. It’s part of their DNA.

So when they’re not doing something, it’s usually because they don’t really want to.

Wanting is the place of beginning. (And the want needs to be fueled by a sufficient “why.”)

So if you’re finding yourself stuck, ask yourself: “Do I really, really want this?”

If the answer is yes, connect with why it matters. Stop the perseveration. And get busy.

If the answer is no, that’s ok. Stop fooling yourself.

Put down the bone. Give yourself permission to walk away.
