I loved the book and I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I LOVE change. I owned 4 different houses in 3 different states by the age of 25. I love to always be changing things.

I notice I have a tendency toward Tekel syndrome, or as I like to call it, "Bright Shiny Objects!".

I've been a business coach for 3 years, and I love it, but I cannot stop switching things up. I know it's stopping my growth. Even when I think I'm going on the right path, I do it for a bit and decide that I want to change.

(I am also excellent at helping others with this, but not helping myself. Funny how things work!)

I'm not afraid of commitment generally (my husband and I have been married for 8 years). But I feel like the new shiny object is better than the old idea. Even if it's just a different way of doing coaching and where I want to be.

What I did to combat this so far: When I set a goal (like this summer my goal was to write a book) I make myself finish at least a quarter of the goal before I can change it.

I ended up finishing the whole book because I wanted to finish it but now I have a book that doesn't suit my business because I changed my niche.

I like to say I'm an action taker, but right now I'm indecisive and do not want to be an indecisive action taker.

How have you guys dealt with new ideas? How do you handle change? Any ideas or thoughts to help?
