Self-doubt is not going away after 100s of books? You may be missing this...

Posted on August 15, 2021 by Elena Popretinskaya, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

Self-doubt is still there after dozens of books, hundreds of hours of podcasts, online courses, etc.? You may be missing this vital part.​
​
Three years ago, I was a self-improvement consumerist. I read/listened/watched everything I could get my hands on. ​
But I didn’t feel like there was a significant change. Yes, I felt like my self-doubt and anxiety started to diminish. But the pace of change was painfully slow.​
​
Then two things happened. One: I started to IMPLEMENT the principles I’ve learned consistently. Two: I’ve got coaching support to help me with clarity where to focus and hold me accountable for not being stuck in “theory”.​
​
Results? In one year got a promotion at work, completed challenging accreditation by ICF as a coach, started my own coaching business, tripled my prices in the first four months, and quit my job.​
​
More importantly, I am a much more peaceful person with healthy self-esteem, belief in my abilities, and trust that the future will bring the best.​
​
Reading a book about golf and playing it once doesn’t make one golfer. ​
Playing golf again and again does.​
Reading a book about confidence and success and doing one step doesn’t make one confident and successful. ​
WORKING the principles again and again does.​
​
Don’t get me wrong: knowledge and enough clarity are crucial.​
But useless without putting them to work. Repeatedly.​
​
There are three key pillars of any growth, including your inner work, crucial for SUSTAINABLE results. ​
​
> Clarity (Knowlege, Understanding)​
> Implementation (Action, Change)​
> Amplification (Reflection, Iteration )​
​
If you miss enough clarity, your implementation will be off the mark. (note the ENOUGH part, waiting for 100% Clarity is another pitfall, but that’s another story)​
If you miss Implementation – your clarity will be useless, and there will be nothing to amplify.​
If you miss Amplification, you risk setbacks, and your results may not come or slip away.​

Warmly,​
