Introduction to From Stuck to Started

You’ve done the hard work of Stage 1. You’ve looked honestly at where you are, understood why you’ve been stuck, and started to see and change the thinking patterns that have been holding you back.

That takes courage, and most people never get even this far. They remain all talk and no action, and this course is all about taking action.

So now it’s time to get moving, and this course, Stage 2 of the Juvenate journey, is about getting you to take those first steps into a new life.

Where the Foundation Course gave you the tools to understand your situation, this course gives you the tools to start making changes and breaking through the mental thresholds, hurdles and unresourceful things you’ve been telling yourself that have restricted you in the past.

The focus shifts from insight to action, from knowing to doing, from what’s been getting in your way to actually getting going on your own way. But that doesn’t mean it gets easier. In some ways, this is where the real work begins. Moving forward means making decisions, taking different risks, embracing uncertainty and doing things that are new even before you feel completely ready.

What this course gives you isn’t false confidence. It’s a better way of thinking that makes action feel less impossible. By the end of this course, you won’t just understand what’s been keeping you stuck. You’ll have started to leave it behind.

Again, the course is composed of many lessons, each with a theme that resonates with this stage of your journey, each building on the last, and each helps you think just a little bit differently. By helping you to get rid of some common mental biases and introducing ways to think more clearly, it will be all the easier to take that first step towards the new you.

    Average isn’t good enough anymore. The Average Trap is where you end up when you try just enough. It’s a place you can hide from your potential, an excuse never to really stretch yourself.
