#528: When Your Best Isn't

Brooke Castillo
About this episode

Have you been trying your very best to achieve a goal… and keep coming up short?

 

This can feel so disheartening that your brain might tell you to just throw in the towel.

 

Don’t. Give. Up.

 

Whether you’re trying to reach a new income level in your business, go pro in your sport, or any other endeavor, there will always be a period of not being good enough yet.

 

It’s what you make this period mean that makes all the difference.

 

If you’re ready to close the gap between your very best right now and the very best you’re going to be, listen in. Understanding why your best isn’t good enough and creating a plan to propel you forward are key to closing the gap, and I’m sharing how to do both in this episode.

 

 

What You Will Discover:

 

  • 4 questions to ask yourself when your best isn’t good enough.
  • How to know when it’s time to quit.
  • 4 areas you can work on to improve your best.
  • The difference between change and transformation.
  • How to close the gap between your best right now and the best you’ll be.
