"I'll start that business ... just as soon as things calm down."

"It'll be easier to get my masters ... once my littles are in school."

"I'm going to bike across the wine region of Italy ... just as soon as I retire!"

Have you ever put off a dream because you're waiting for a better time?

You're not alone.

So many of my clients are waiting for "the right time" to start creating their FY life.

But what if "the right time" never comes?

What if "normal life" isn't some magic calm period that always comes back around if we hang on long enough?

What if "normal life" is actually your car breaking down, a surprise work trip, your dog needing surgery, your small volunteer commitment morphing into a full-time job, and your landlord doubling the rent ... possibly all at once?

When we let go of the fantasy that life will calm down, it's easier to jump NOW. (Which let's be honest, is almost always the best time.)

And in this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I show you exactly why moving faster is usually better — and what you can do to take that scary first step.

Enjoy!

Time-starved. That was me.

Every morning, I'd make my to-do list. And by the end of the day, it would be LONGER, not shorter.

All day long, I raced from task to task — and then from my home office to my mom's assisted living to the run club happy hour.

If — heaven forbid — I was bored for a minute, I took it as an invitation to dive into my Trello project backlog. (Which was extensive.)

I was constantly in motion. But never quite getting anywhere. Stuck at the same weight, run splits, drinks per week, business earnings, etc.

And honestly, starting to look like a shipwrecked castaway because I couldn't even find the time to get a haircut 🏴‍☠️ 😂

Then one principle turned it all around: Essentialism.

It's the concept of doing less better.

You see, I'd bought into the dangerous myth that I could have it all.

No one can.

When you make the hard but clear-eyed decision to focus on what's most important RIGHT NOW, your life will change.

So much space will open up in your life.

And you won't be afraid of it, because you'll also realize that doing big things requires time and space to think.

Yes, it turns out being a little bored is actually good for you!

Ready to embrace essentialism? You're in luck!

In this podcast, I'll share the top mindsets that helped me

• Edit my schedule mercilessly
• Simplify my (very complicated) life
• Say no to good invitations and opportunities to make room for what's great
• Deal with the resulting FOMO

Enjoy!

Have you ever struggled to do something differently?
