Stop Buying All the Things! That Course Isn't the Solution. Here's What You Need Instead.
Show Notes

We all get caught in the trap of buying solutions with the hopes that they'll magically fix everything in our business - and life. And while there are so many valuable resources and products - courses, webinars, workshops, classes, memberships, etc - that are SO valuable, there comes a point when it's time to stop buying all the things... at least for the time being.

Perhaps you've heard of "shiny object syndrome" (getting excited about the next new, exciting product) and "course collectors" (folks that buy lots of courses/classes but don't consume and implement the material). These are both symptoms of what I'm talking about in this podcast: times when we have the materials and the answers, and it's time to just do the work.

This podcast episode is a rant and a pep talk at the same time. But I promise it's not a personal attack; sometimes this is the rant I have to listen to myself as well. And it's for you if you have aren't seeing results from the products that you have already invested in previously.

In episode 47, I talked about knowing when to seek outside help (like through coaching, courses, and memberships) and when not to. In this episode, I share a pep talk about why NOT to buy the next new thing and what to do instead. I talk about what's holding you back (since we've established it's not the lack of knowledge or resources) and the questions to ask yourself so you can finally do the work.
