How many times are you afraid to do something and you literally put it off ? How many times do we make these big , huge , monstrous stories in our head that all these things are going to happen if we don't do the thing ? Hi , i'm Chrissy Connor and I am guilty of these things . I do normally move so fast that I don't need to worry about the fear .
However , there's a thing I've been struggling with . I'm just going to lay it all out there . I decided I wanted to move my website to my funnel system . It's been on WordPress for years and I was like this is just ridiculous . I want all these changes , i just need to move it .
I canceled with the host and everything that I was paying for my website and I was like , okay , i'm going to do it . I'm going to move it over Every time I have sat down to mess with the back end . First of all , let me just be clear . I have used to design WordPress sites . I know my way around . Technology . Technology normally does not scare me .
It's not the least thing that I'm worried about . However , i created this story in my head that , first of all , that domain is connected to my email and I thought , oh my gosh , if my email goes down , what am I going to do ? I'm not going to be able to see payment notifications .
If I needed to get into my PayPal account , all these things , i couldn't get into anything . I started to create these monstrous stories . I love that . If you've ever listened to Rob Dile , he calls them scaries . I created this big , monstrous mountain of craziness that was going to happen if I messed up . Therefore , it just started .
It was like I put it off , i put it off , i put it off , i put it off . I put it off because I was scared of messing up something . Okay , first of all , you can always redo something , especially if you like video what you do so you can see what you messed up . But anyhow , this is the story I tell myself .
Normally , things like this that we're afraid of aren't really rational Once we look back on them . However , at the time , it was really scary . I was in the FG Funnels , which is the platform that I use , and I was in the Facebook group and I saw this lady commenting on somebody to help them .
I messaged her and I was like hey , do you work on the back-end domains ? She was like yeah , what do you need ? I said this is what I need . She goes okay . Do you want to hop on a Zoom ? I was like , sure , win , she goes . Well , we can schedule , or I can do it in 10 minutes . Here's another thing that we do we delay .
It's a Saturday and I'm thinking I don't want to work on a Saturday . I don't want to do this on a Saturday . I don't want to take somebody else's time on a Saturday . Who's offering , by the way ? I said let's do it in 10 minutes , because if I don't do it in 10 minutes , i'm going to find a reason to chicken out and not do this .
If you're open to doing it in 10 minutes , i'm open to doing it in 10 minutes . She was like , okay , we get on this Zoom and she looks at all my stuff and she goes delete , delete , delete , delete , delete . Add this , boom , you're good . I'm just like why ? Why did I allow this to stall me ? to prevent me from moving ?
It was a silly website , but our minds , they take control of any little fear that we have and make it . I think my dad used to say make a mountain out of a molehill or something like that . But it makes it so much bigger and it doesn't need to be that big .
We just compound and keep making it worse and worse and worse and worse and worse when it doesn't need to be . It doesn't need to be . How many times have you put off something and , in reality , when it was time to finally do it or you finally did it hopefully you have done this at least once .
Right , you finally did something like that was not as bad as I thought it was . That was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was . The only thing that I've been afraid to do that I can tell you that I think was as bad as I thought it was was getting a tattoo . That was hard and painful . I don't like pain , it just wasn't my cup of tea .
But , like most things are not that bad . You know launching . You know just like I let launching like crush me and getting on video like stop me and so many things . And why are we doing this when it's not that bad ? So my question is what have you been afraid of Right now in your mind ? something in the back of your mind , maybe even subconsciously ?
there is something you have been putting off due to fear . I want you to allow me , because this is a month of challenges .
I want you to allow me to challenge you And I would love for you to say out loud right now , as you're listening to this episode Chrissy , i accept your challenge , i am going to go get this done And then I would love to hear from you and how bad it really wasn't and how crazy . We make up these stories in our head and , like Rob , i'll cause it .
It was a . We made it a big , scary right , which makes it sound so childlike and like the monster under the bed kind of thing . Do you accept my challenge ? I cannot wait to hear from you , because I know that it's not going to be as bad as you thought it was , just like none of mine are as bad as I think they are going to be .
Are you ready for this ? Because I am ready for you to accept this challenge and for you to see that you can do hard things , my friend , no matter how scary they seem to be .
