Have you ever said to yourself, “I know what I should be doing… but I’m not doing it”?
You’re not alone. As a business coach who’s worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs over the years, I can confidently say this is the number one reason people hire a coach—not because they don’t know what to do, but because they can’t seem to get themselves to do it.
They’re stuck in patterns like:
- Overthinking every move
- Procrastinating on what matters most
- Feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start
- Avoiding visibility or sales because of fear
- Constantly shifting gears instead of staying consistent
The truth? Strategy isn’t the problem.
It’s mindset, emotions, and internal resistance that keep people from taking consistent, aligned action.
The good news? You can start shifting this pattern today. Here are 3 simple but powerful action steps to break the cycle and move forward:
1. Identify Your Resistance Pattern
Ask yourself:
- When I know what I should be doing, what do I do instead?
- What story am I telling myself in that moment?
Get curious. Are you procrastinating out of fear? People-pleasing? Perfectionism? Lack of trust in yourself?
Naming the pattern takes away its power—and gives you the awareness to shift it.
2. Break It Down Into the Smallest Next Step
Overwhelm thrives on vagueness. When your to-do list feels like a mountain, your brain shuts down.
Instead, ask:
What’s the next tiny step I can take to move this forward?
Not “launch the course,” but “write one sentence of the intro email.”
Not “fix my website,” but “email my designer a question.”
Small wins create momentum.
3. Get Support That Sees the Whole You
You don’t need more hustle. You need aligned action that’s grounded in self-awareness, emotional clarity, and practical strategy.
This is where coaching shines. A good coach won’t just give you another to-do list—they’ll help you uncover what’s blocking your confidence, teach you how to work with your personality (hello, Enneagram!), and hold you accountable to what really matters.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, know that you’re not broken—you’re just bumping up against patterns that can be shifted.
