What happens when you're a leader but you've lost your motivation?
It's hard to get momentum back when you’ve taken time off, or things are tough in your business. Suddenly, the challenges of moving your business forward seem insurmountable; what if you stay stuck? What happens to your company? Your family?
Seriously though, how do you find your mojo again so you can be the leader you were meant to be? Any ideas? I have a few.
If I can get unstuck, you can too. Let’s find our mojo together.
In this episode, I share
- How to spot “productive hiding” (inbox zero, busywork, perfecting tasks) vs. real rest
- The two WHYs: why you’re stuck (not helpful) vs. why your work matters (the one that moves you)
- A simple motivation reset: declare it → reconnect to your big WHY → take one tiny, brave action
- “Future You” tactics for energy: sleep, food, movement, hydration, and support that match your next-level self
- Fast ways to create upward momentum: micro-steps, accountability, collaboration, celebrating small wins
This episode at a glance:
[00:04:41] This conversation is not about go, fight, win, get it done, make it happen, crush it, hustle. It's about clearing the path for yourself when you have big dreams and desires and, for whatever reason, you're not moving.
[00:06:29] If you have discovered that you're stuck. It's okay. You're stuck. Good. Now we can do something about it.
[00:11:03] It's coming from past history and fear. And it's difficult to create, much less get moving when you're in that head space. You're stuck in the past.
[00:15:15] So just do something. Taking rapid messy action is what starts the wheels of motivation and momentum turning again for me.
