Shedding Shame -- Following Up on "Old" Leads

I am in a stuck place. Hard for a coach to admit and yet being authentic and modeling overcoming my own obstacles to inspire others is what I like to do in my obstacle-busting business.  So, permit me to coach myself, using Byron Katie's "The Work" process, as I share some deep insights with you that I know will help some of you to break through the yuck and ick of following up on leads and commitments you have not made the time or had the courage to act upon.

My situation.  I am stuck on following up on some leads and I am allowing this inaction to shame me.  Shame is an easy almost automatic place that I go to and see my clients go to when a task or commitment that takes courage goes undone.

Acting from Inspiration vs. Acting from Lack

In my work with a client recently we talked about the overwhelm of how to build her business during the tougher economic climate we find ourselves in.  She wanted answers on how to get clients and what to do first.  “I want a plan, a step-by-step-plan!”

We arrived at the realization that when action is derived from a sense of sacred purpose, from inspiration, then the exact approach and steps don’t matter.  When you act from your heart and your mission, answers will come to you and people will magically cross your path.  All that matters is having a mission and asking people, "How can I help?" knowing you can!

I shared the reading below with my client and she just HAD to have a copy.  And so I am sharing it with all of you to help you see how to take action from inspiration.  The source is Abraham Hicks.  I've offered some inspiring music to accompany these words below.

Let me be a catalyst for you.  Let me help you take the leap into inspired action.
