#489 What would someone who's already done it do

You know what you want. You probably know what you need to do. You may even have the knowledge, experience and tools to make it happen.

So why aren't you doing it?

That was the question that stopped me in my tracks.

In this deeper dive, I explore a surprisingly useful way of getting unstuck: What would someone who has already achieved what I'm trying to achieve do?

It's not about comparing yourself with someone who is supposedly "better" than you. It's about modelling success—discovering the behaviours, beliefs, decisions, habits and ways of thinking that already work, then making them your own.

We look at some of the things that can quietly stop us taking action: limiting beliefs, fear of failure, perfectionism, anxiety, self-doubt, identity and that nagging internal voice telling us we shouldn't, couldn't or aren't good enough.

And then we turn the question into a practical process you can use with your own goals, projects and dreams.

You don't have to become somebody else.

You can borrow their eyes, discover what works, and turn it into your way of doing things.

Because perhaps you know more than you think you know.

And perhaps you don't need the whole path.

You just need to discover the next step.
