I get emails asking me for advice on how to build confidence and make life changes…quickly and easily.
Here’s my well thought out answer.
I don’t know.
I genuinely don’t know the quickest route.
I have no idea of the easiest path.
I do know a few routes, plenty paths, tools and techniques. But I certainly don’t have the quick and easy, one size fits all answer. Wish I did, I’d bottle it up and pour you a glass.
Making massive life changes isn’t easy, it’s can be really, really, really long work.
I know that’s not perhaps what you wanted to hear, however it’s a lot more rewarding to put in the work and see, feel and notice the results.
Work requires effort, action, stepping out and up.
Faking it, easy.
Covering up, easy.
Pretending, easy.
I’m not into masking the truth or cover up’s, screwing with folks heads, or making large claims that there is no way I can promise and deliver.
I’m actually get really pissed off at those who do.
No wait, that’s unfair and it’s inaccurate, my core gripe is with those couldn’t give a toss about a person, but they do know exactly how to tap into the pain someone is feeling and sell them ‘quick and easy‘.
Example:
Change Your Life in 7 Hours sounds better than Change Your Life, It May Take a Few Months, But You’ll Get There
People want speed, instant, no pain, easy, instant.
Confidence in 10 Minutes or Less sounds better than Ongoing Confidence for The Rest of Your Life, But You’ll Need to Apply This, This and This First
People prefer to only see what’s right ahead of them. 10 minutes is a heck of a lot closer than the rest of your life.
Be Successful Now! sounds better than Become the Person You Choose to Be With a Little Time and Plenty Action
Who wouldn’t be seduced by now as opposed to little time.
Life Transformation and Inspiration sounds better than Turn Your Life Around By Working Really Darn Hard At It
I also detest ‘brainwashing’ personal development, this can include live events where the participants are so fecking tired with the long days, they stop being an individual, and groupthink takes over. Actually this probably happens in every area not just personal development.
I don’t know.
For me, quick and easy, does not neccessarily mean it works and is lasts.
Rant over. I’m sorry I just don’t know.
Do you have any answers? Thoughts? Care to Rant? Tell Me I’m Wrong?
