“I’m so overwhelmed”…is a phrase I hear from many of my clients.  I have to tell you that when I first starting planning my upcoming October event, Ultimate Success Solutions (http://www.successcoachingwithKate.com/uss) , I was starting to feel the same way. 

Honestly, planning an extraordinary event like this takes a lot of work:  planning, time, energy…this list can go on and on.  There are so many details when you are trying to create an amazing experience for the attendees.  I’m a Type A, like a lot of you reading this.   I have very high expectations of my results and myself.

In fact, this “perfectionism” trait was something I worked on quite a bit over the last few years, as this can easily be a big block (aka procrastination/sabotage) to success.  This is an area I have helped so many clients work on as it was holding them back from reaching the success they wanted and deserved.

Working with my coach and through the use of the “tapping” technique, I had a huge mindset shift.  I realized that instead of feeling overwhelmed about this event, I really wanted to be excited about doing this.   After all, what’s the point of setting a goal, if you don’t enjoy the journey to get there?

I wanted to be excited about the information I planned on sharing.  I wanted to be excited about the breakthroughs I knew the attendees would have (based on my experience with past clients).  I wanted to be excited about the amazing, positive, wonderful, fantastic and fabulous energy that would be in that room for two days.  And, most importantly, I wanted to be excited about all of the new ways, the attendees would be able to get their gifts out in an even bigger way, helping more and more people and getting closer to reaching their dreams!. 

 With that mindset shift, my energy around this event totally changed and my excitement has become contagious.  I am actually “ahead” of schedule with my “to do” list.  I have 2 extraordinary guest speakers.  Fantastic solopreneurs are investing in themselves and taking advantage of my Early Bird Pricing for the event.  This event is going to ROCK! 

Here are a 3 Success Tips if you are feeling overwhelmed about a BIG upcoming project you have:

1. Think about the words you are using to describe the project.  Are you saying “I have to do…”….or “I must do…”  …or “I need to do…”.  Instead, try saying,  “I’m excited to do…”  or  “I can’t wait to do…”or “I’m looking forward to doing…”.  Notice the difference in your energy and how you feel when you use different words.  You should feel much more excited and positive about it. 
2. Break down your “to do” list into small manageable “bite-size” pieces.  Look at your list and decide what you can delegate to your support team.  Prioritize your list and take care of the most important items first.
3. Change your mindset to release any “fears” that pop- up around this BIG project.  My favorite technique (the fastest way I know to release negative thoughts and replace positive ones) is “tapping”.  It’s a very gentle technique that quickly and easily helps you make these changes.  I have had amazing experiences from it (including helping me increase my income 500% in one year!) and have personally helped hundreds of clients have equally amazing experiences in their own businesses and life!  

I’d love to meet you at the Ultimate Success Solutions workshop in October.  Check out the details (and grab an Early Bird ticket)…but, Remember, seating is limited!!!
