In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about making scary changes in your life when you are ready to “scale up” in personal development.

IN THIS PODCAST YOU'LL FIND:

- Talking about ‘scale up’ moments, which are scary even if we know it would be good for us.

- The character Neo in the move “The Matrix” is a great example of letting go of others expectations and scaling up by resting into his own sense of integrity.

- We face moments when we realize ‘what got us here won’t get us there’.

- Transitions aren’t just scary, they’re also painful.

- Based on ancient programming, a part of us fears that if we fail after the transition we’ll literally die.

- The scariest part isn’t the transition; it’s the initial decision of making big change.

- The transition is usually more frustration and painful. You have to pick up new skills and one learns things about themselves that may not be flattering.

- When we finish the process, we almost always look back and say “That wasn’t so bad.”

- A helpful model is the HAT model – Healing, Achievement and Transcendence.

- When we’re scaling up, we’re putting more pressure through the ‘pipe’ and more cracks are exposed. We mistake this new self-understanding with a belief that we’re broken and not ready for the next level.

- Going through the transition is what exposed the cracks in the first place, so it’s all a healthy part of the process.
Once you get to the next ‘vine’ you feel so accomplished.

- It’s easy to blame outside circumstances to mask the fear of scaling up, or to believe that no one will help you during the process.

- Alternatively, it’s healthier to see oneself as responsible for transitions and also find mentors and coaches to help during the process.

- It takes balls and determination and persistence to make big changes in life.

- Some have the problem of being in transition too much and have trouble sticking with just one thing, which can be its own challenge.

- Having the strength often comes by doing the thing you’re madly in love with doing.

- It’s important to really know what you want, and avoid ‘counterfeit’ desires.

- Some people end up in ‘satellite’ careers – something close to their heart’s desire, but one step removed.

- Surrounding yourself with people who are already where you want to go helps you get to your end game faster, and proves it can be done with ‘dying’.

- It’s also important not to mistake lateral change with vertical growth.
Being able to make big transitions is the first step toward playing a Bigger Game.

- Familiarity can keep one in bad, sometimes dangerous, situations.
All growth happens out of our comfort zone, so comfort isn’t always our friend.
