Psychologists call it avoidance coping.
We have a clear vision of what our future looks like. We know what it will take to achieve, yet we do everything but the steps required to make our vision a reality.
For most of us, networking is the behavior we avoid. We know the huge return on investment it carries, and we want to make it happen, but we’re held back by fear.
It feels like asking someone out in high school. There’s a chance for rejection and an irrational fear of it. So, instead of making phone calls, we do everything but grow the business. We develop systems and spend hours evaluating client management software all in preparation for no clients.
Avoidance coping is debilitating.
Press play. Learn to recognize when you’re avoiding and how to overcome self-imposed limitations. Put yourself in charge.
