Ep 131: Idea Killers

from Bloom Your Mind · host Marie McDonald

At a party last week, someone asked what I do for a living…which led to them asking a second question. “What is the thing that gets in the way most, when people are trying to make an idea real?” What an amazing question. In this week’s episode, I’ll share the top six reasons that people fail at making their ideas into real things, and I’ll share a solution for each one to help you turn the obstacle that’s in your way, into a strategy for success. We’ll even do a deep dive into strategy #2, and help you understand the deeper why behind creating goals that are measurable and realistic. Did you know that we are 65% more likely to achieve our dreams with a coach or group to be accountable to, and that number jumps to a whopping 95% when we have regular check-ins and meetings with them. (Did you know that Bloom Room meets once a week?) Get over here and do the thang with us!What you’ll learn in this episode: The top six things that get in the way of people making their ideas into real things Five new takes on an old way of goal setting How gratitude is productive and efficient What it means to fail ahead of time How nostalgia for now can save you from missing your life, AND can create the urgency you need to act on the ideas in your pocket The best tool to keep on track when life gets in the way How a learner’s mind is the most advanced tool in your belt Mentioned on this episode: EaconHow to connect with Marie:On the Web | The Local BloomInstagram: @the.bloom.coachAll Things Marie on LinkTreeJOIN THE BLOOM ROOM!We'll take all these ideas and apply them to our lives.
