TVC088 The Mojo Maker 3 Steps From Self Doubt To Drivers Seat
It’s a whole new phase for me and I’d like to bring you on the journey.   This weeks podcast episode launches my new show name The Mojo Maker – for leaders in life. It’s kicking off with the all too common topic of self doubt and why no one is exempt from the little voice in the back of our heads telling us “it can’t be done”, you’re not enough”. 
Amongst the drive and tenacity we have to design a daily life we love, and thrive in our work and home life – is a cheeky and almost pestilent ego that sits in the back waiting for a weak moment to pounce. 
From the meetings with clients and messages lately I’ve been receiving  – it seems the ego is getting louder for us all.  Our EGO is not our Amigo.
So I’ve nicknamed this the Self Doubt Epidemic. Here’s my story lately and how to go from negative to firmly back in the drivers seat for your purpose in life.
The Self Doubt Epidemic
The epidemic that hits us all, no matter what stage, age and title in life. We feel pulled back into the stories of what we thought we should be in our careers and unsure about our future vision. Of where we think we’re heading. We lose sight of being very present.
I absolutely have this too. Over the past 3 months as I worked on evolving my business and writing the next book yet the black tar, or the raven as some people call it, was thick as thieves in the back of my mind. This yin and yang and negotiation back and forth can be really, really unsettling mentally, physically and emotionally.
 
What happens when self doubt overrides our drive to do the work and keep moving forward? It’s probably a good signal to stop, press pause and get REALLY connected on your purpose not just your profit lead activities. Going from head to heart lead can be a pivotal point for finding energy you never knew you had. 
 
Going to YOUR next level
What happens when you reach a point in your career when you’ve got the title or you have the accolades, or you reach this time with your family?
Maybe you sold a business or you developed into C-suite role, you’ve just sent your last child off to university and the house is quiet.  You look up and think, is this it – or now what?
Most of the people I work with on a day-to-day basis or that I’m fortunate enough to hang out with are really high-achieving performers in areas of life. Whether your a at home entrepreneur, an athlete, artists, a CEO or if they’re just developing great careers inside organisations there is this massive commonality that causes a ripple in the ocean for courage and conviction in what we do:  “Am I enough, and is it ever enough?”
Where ever you are right at this point – is exactly where you need to be. You are ENOUGH. It is ENOUGH. Practicing the art of recognising that is 
Mojo is Being in the NOW and knowing you are Enough.
 
 BE YOURSELF AND DO THAT REALLY REALLY WELL
 
Firstly: Do not compare or judge
We’re so good at looking to other people and assuming we know all about them and where they might sit just because of what they might post on social media or they might present to us in one form, of who they are. We just don’t know the full story. Stop looking outward and just really enjoy the journey for yourself. Do the work.
Being aware means creating a short chemistry check emotionally not just in your head.

* Repeat the mantra – I am enough, it is enough.
* Do a stakeholder inventory: What things in your life, what projects,
