You can't change your life with a maybe

How often do you find yourself saying, "Maybe I'll do it"?

In this encore episode, I'm revisiting the idea that we can't change our lives while staying stuck in a state of maybe. Whether you're considering a career change, a new opportunity, a relationship decision, or simply a different way of living, indecision can keep you standing at the starting line.

We'll look at why we get stuck in maybe, including the paralysis of too many options, the comfort zone conundrum, and the illusion that we have unlimited time. I'll also share three ways to move forward: asking what would have to be true to say yes, considering the cost of saying no, and using smaller decisions to build momentum.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you move. Sometimes, you just need to make a decision and take the next step.
