Just be

It’s a strange place to be right now, I know I have had a major breakthrough this week after sitting my mentor and unblocking some elements that were holding me back. Which were : I found that even though I am playing a bigger game, the feedback I was getting was that I am still playing to small, wow, how frustrating! Every time I thought I stepped up a level the feedback was the same. The feedback came from people who are doing it on a huge level. I found it so frustrating that I wrote it on a block of wood and smashed my fist through it. I now have it hanging on my wall. I sat with mentor/coach he said Elliot, you are outside of things to much, you are leading a team, however you are removed, you need the courage to be!!!

Be the amazing coach you are
Be the amazing leader you are
Be the man of results
Be the radio presenter
Be the speaker

Simply be, how simple is that? Yet it isn’t, I have been in so many minds lately and doing so much, that I wasn’t being I was over thereing( purposely misspelt of course) My energies were split and divided and there it is, I wasn’t being.

We discussed that I am still a looker in and not a looker out, which is holding me back, I was still thinking how lucky I am to have so many amazing people in my life, the difference I am grateful not lucky, I am grateful, being grateful means being part and being thankful for it, thinking I am lucky meant I am on the outside looking in, putting everyone on a pedestal, in essence we are all humans.

Everyday I get up now, I say to myself, just be, I say it to myself every time I switch and am doing a different activity

Be in the moment
Be Elliot the trainer
Be the radio presenter

I now turn my phone off, I close my email, anything that can distract me from being in that moment and then when I need to switch, I will switch to who I need be. It is true Richard Branson doesn’t carry 250 companies in his head, he switches and focuses on one thing at a time and when he is dealing with different things he is simply being.

Right time for me to be a trainer again.
It takes a lot to be and takes courage, courage to simply be, ask yourself, are you being? Or are you doing everything no to be?

Till next time,

Elliot
