Description

I have a rule: if somebody's going to be disappointed by my decisions, let it not be me.

In this episode, I'm talking about one of the most common reasons smart, capable people hold back — the fear of being disappointed. Aka, a feeling.

Protecting yourself from disappointment doesn't actually protect you. It just moves the disappointment earlier. You're already deciding you can't have what you want.

In this episode I cover:

• Why "lowering your goal so you're not disappointed" is still disappointing yourself
• The real questions to ask when you're holding back
• My SPACE framework for actually feeling your feelings 
• The thought work piece
• Why "having your back" is one of the most strategic things you can do
