You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Kostio episode number 347.

Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching.

And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brook Kostio.

What's up y'all?

All right, I do a little rant today. I'm just saying, could happen.

I was talking to my love last night, and yes, I'm going to be telling you a lot more about him coming up.

So much to tell y'all, my friends. So much to tell y'all.

But anyway, we were talking, and one of the things that he said was, well, I've just never done that before.

And I was talking about something that he had said he wanted to do, and he was struggling to do it, and he was basically saying,

well, the reason why is because I've never done it before.

And I took issue with that, my friends, because that is a thought that does not serve us.

I have not done that before. Doesn't add value to your model, your life, your actions, your results.

It isn't a relevant thought if you're trying to produce something extraordinary.

I'll say to someone, do you want to set this goal? Do you want to do this thing? And they'll say, yeah, but I don't know how, because I've never done it before.

Okay, not relevant, not useful. Someone's struggling to do something.

Well, the reason why I'm struggling is because I've never done it before. No, no, no, and no. That is not the reason.

And we're going to talk about it today. We're going to go to task on it today.

And I want you to call out your friends who say this to you, and I want you to call out your clients and say this to you.

I want you to call it yourself if you say this to you. This thought is poison to your dreams.

I've never done that before. I haven't been able to do it before, or this is how I've always done it.

Pass focused garbage excuses. Stop it.

All right, let's review. There is past focus, and there's future focus, and of course there's present focus.
