If you are not where you are supposed to be, something is holding you back. If you are not getting the right results, something is holding you back. If you are not meeting the right people, something is responsible for not making it happen. If you are still stuck in your past, something is standing in your way. If you are not happy, something is stealing your happiness away from you.

The question is, ‘What is holding you back?’ Why are you not moving forward in your life? Why are you not where you want to be? Why are you not making progress in your career?

The truth is: You are the one holding yourself back. Stop blaming other people for your life. You are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your dreams.

No one on this planet can hold you back, but you. No one can stop you from running your race, but you.

You are not getting the right results because you are not doing the right things. You are not running your own race. You are not doing what you love to do. You are not being true to yourself. You are hiding behind perfection. You are telling yourself false stories about your life, about your situation. You are not hanging out with the right people.

You are holding yourself back because you are still living in the past. Even when life has moved on. Even when change is running faster than the fastest person in the world. You are still attached to your past failures.

You are holding yourself back because your mind is flooded with negative thoughts. You are holding yourself back because you don’t believe in what you can do. You don’t believe in yourself.

But you can change everything. You can change your life by doing the right things, by thinking the right thoughts, by hanging out with the right people. You can change your life by changing how you treat yourself.

You can move your life forward when you move forward. You can. Because nothing is holding you back. You are the one holding yourself back. If you want to change your life, you have got to change your thoughts. The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to do it?’

Nothing happens by accident. If you want to move from where you are to where you want to be, you must be willing to do the work.

You must be willing to ‘play by the rules.’ According to Jenny Stilwell, ‘Find someone to build your business with from the start- doing it on your own is hard and lonely.’

‘Know that you can achieve far more with the right people than on your own.’

‘Don’t force yourself to be who you’re not. Bring complementary skills into your team.’

‘Have a goal and understand the levers in your business. You have to hold yourself accountable to deliver on those things.’

‘You have to understand how the pieces come together to create a whole business- it has to resonate with your customers.’

‘Stay true to your values and work incredibly hard. It won’t happen without hard work.’

‘Don’t rush. Understand what you are doing and why.’

‘It’s all about the people. The right people aligned around your company’s culture, with the right attitude, will make the company successful.’

‘Know what you want and how far you want to scale.’

‘As a leader, humility is key as it helps you manage people better: a willingness to listen and respond accordingly is important.’

‘Build relationships. People do business with people.’
