5 Lessons My Friend Learned in Hell

This may happen every once in a while in a car, but it Uncompromised Life happens all the time in life! (Don't let this be you.)

What does it mean to be "stuck in neutral" in life? Well, here are a few signals...

• you're "active" in your life or business, but not getting anywhere
• you're about at the same place in your life or business as you were last year (or worse)
• your goals aren't getting achieved
• your results for the vision for your life or business is consistently falling short
• your "important project" is still undone

This is often the case for many individuals, and is very common even among busy, hard-working professional individuals - even you. It's no wonder many of us get "stuck". People can easily get stuck because of growing workloads, stresses at home, demands from the business or career, distractions from the barrage of emails, phone calls, etc that can cause paralysis of analysis.

But that's only part of the problem...Many people have symptoms of being "stuck in Neutral" like the above, but don't make the shift to do anything about it. (Similar to a medical condition, diagnosis is half the solution. The other half is properly treating the issue!)So what is a proper set of steps to take to get from "N" to "D" and get on the road to where you want to be? Here are some successful strategies that my clients have taken under advisement to make the shift into "Drive".

1. Assess your current situation
2. From the assessment, see what you are stuck on
3. Determine what you're willing to do or give up in order to make it happen
4. Establish your game plan in steps
5. Prioritize your action activities for each step
6. Have accountability in place along the way
7. Take consistent and persistent action EVERY DAY
