We, at The Growth Coach, have concept called the FUDS which is an acronym for Fears, Uncertainties, Doubts and Suspicions.

The FUDS is that little nagging feeling of self-doubt that holds us back from doing what we need or want to do.  For example, its the FUDS that keeps us from making those phone calls on our to-do list because "I'm just not very good on the phone".  Or, limits our growth with larger clients because "I don't think we're ready to handle that large of a project".

Don't get me wrong - everyone suffers from the FUDS on occasion, after all, we are human!  But often times we procrastinate on a project or task and don't even realize that it's the FUDS at work. 

So, next time you are hesitating to start a project or can't seem to get something important done, ask yourself:  Do I have the FUDS?  What am I unsure of?  And, then put a plan in place to get past it.  Sometimes just recognizing those dastardly FUDS is more than half the battle!  As a coach, I often help my client recognize their FUDS and identify ways to overcome them.  What are some of your FUDS?
