0:00.0	You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Castillo episode number 181.
0:06.6	Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients,
0:12.2	real problems, and real coaching. And now your host, master coach instructor, Brook Castillo.
0:21.3	Pro activation. What, you've never heard that word before?
0:26.5	I made it up. I love this word. My highly educated clients point out that I make up words that don't
0:37.1	exist. And I'm convinced they exist, but they tell me that they're not. And their Ivy League

1:57.8	have an excuse and you do have a delay. You are procrastinating achieving your dream.
2:04.9	Literally, right? You are in the process of not doing your dream. That's what procrastination is,
2:14.4	right? The process of not doing something that you want to be doing. Now most of us procrastinate
2:19.8	until we get right up to the point where there's a lot of pressure. And then we produce something in
2:25.5	a very short amount of time. And as I've talked about on previous podcasts, what I want you to do
2:30.3	is reverse that. I want you to still do the thing in the high pressure short amount of time. But
