Leading Inputs vs Lagging Outputs

Almost immediately after Jo and I turned off the microphone at the end of our recorded conversation that you heard in the last episode, she remembered something she wished she had said. In discussing getting involved with volunteer work, she wanted to encourage folks to just start. To reach out and get started before it feels comfortable. I don't know about you, but I need this reminder on the regular. I am highly allergic to failing in front of people. And I don't think I'm unique in that. Ice Queen Elsa notwithstanding, most people have a bit of an aversion to leaping into the unknown. But if you want to share your gifts with others and use those gifts to benefit those who may be in need of what it is you have to offer, you have to step up and step out and start sharing. But there's a little distinction that I've learned to make that has made tipping into action a bit less daunting and that is creating habits around measuring my leading inputs rather than my lagging outputs. I hope this helps you too because - whether there's a course you'd like to launch or a book you're desperate to write or volunteer work you'd like to do - it requires you to become proactive. Leading inputs will help support you in just that.
