You know what you want and yet struggle to find the energy and time. Procrastination is something you know intimately, yet you have been struggling to say goodbye to this uninvited and unwelcome guest. It makes you frustrated that when you finally find the time when you have enough energy to make a dent towards your dreams, you often end up wasting it. At times, you notice you miss focus and confidence to carry on with your dream of financial independence, time abundance, fuller health and great relationships.

Whether you’re in your 30s, or your 40s and 50s, whether your priority is to create your business, improve your relationships or start working out regularly, one thing’s for sure: you know you want to go for it…and you’re ready to start.

…because it seems you can’t find all that time and energy you need for all of this!

You feel that you are moving too slowly and wish you had seen more progress, especially when it comes to creating your business or finding that better job you have been dreaming about for months now because that is what will eventually give you more time, energy and money to focus on the rest. Your dreams look blurry and at times almost unattainable, with all that is going on for you right now. You’re exhausted and feel that life just keeps happening to you. If you just had more energy, clarity on how to get all you want and ways to use your scarce time as efficiently as possible, you would be on fire, yet, somehow, you feel like that duckling paddling upstream: working hard, yet not getting anywhere.

You’re hardworking and you put in the work when you can, but that feels just like a few drops in the ocean. You feel far away from your goal and are not sure if you took the right path, which makes you feel overwhelmed and you start doubting if you can really do it. You just want to have more direction, accountability and confidence, so you finally get things done.

Your second biggest battle is to be productive and efficient, because you don’t have the luxury of as much time as you’d love. One of your biggest frustrations is that when you actually find the time, you end up procrastinating and focusing on things that are not that important just to feel busy, yet you don’t do the tasks that would truly move the needle for you. This drives you crazy! You start judging yourself as lazy, not committed or someone who “just doesn’t have it in her/him”. You are tempted to give up, yet, somewhere deep inside there is something that does not allow you to quit and eventually you get up and keep going again.

You are exhausted and anxious from this constant cycle of finding time and energy, breaking promises to yourself, procrastinating and doubting yourself, yet not wanting to quit. You feel alone, unsupported and out of place as you are a lone runner in your community and social circle aiming to achieve all these amazing things. Now, you’re at that turning point when you either make it or break it – you’re ready to get the support you need and make it work, no matter what it takes – because quitting is not an option!

…the direction you crave.

Once you’re clear on what you need to do in a specific timeframe, it’s time to take a look at your daily habits and explore what can you do to become productive on a daily basis, while accommodating the most important things in your schedule. It all comes down to healthy and productive habits, that can be created and will help you to work consistently towards the goals in all areas of your life that are important to you.

To make this solid and long-lasting, you may need to revisit your beliefs so you keep only the beliefs, that are supporting and serving you, as opposed to limiting beliefs that hold you back and make you feel stuck, anxious or less confident. Energy should not be an afterthought in your daily life and you may need to look at how you generate enough energy to take on even the most difficult and busy days, including the daily and weekly tasks you know you need to get done so you head in the direction of your dreams. You also want to make sure you balance your work and personal life and have time beyond work for things that are truly important to you – be it staying with your child, starting to date again or following your passion that will make you feel happier and life more rewarding.

The last ingredient you might miss is accountability. Without accountability, internal or external, you may stay paddling upstream, because you will keep procrastinating on the important things and the finish line won’t be any closer. However, accountability would mean nothing without action. Now you have a solid time-bound plan leading you to your bigger goals, framework for better habits, more empowering beliefs and you’ve created more energy: going into action will seal all this together. Without action nothing will change for you. Having a life and accountability coach who doesn’t judge you, yet keeps you accountable for your commitments to action significantly increases your chances to successfully balance all the things you want to have in your life and get you closer to your dreams, one tiny step each day and week.
