What if you're wrong?

One of the most powerful things you can offer your brain is this question:

“What if I’m wrong?”

My brain loves being right.
It always has.

I’ll give you an example of this from my own experience. When I was transitioning from being an attorney to becoming a coach, my brain had a LOT to say.

Law was familiar.
I had studied it.
I had succeeded at it.
I knew the rules.

Coaching, on the other hand, was completely entrepreneurial.
No roadmap.
No guarantees.
A total identity shift.

It felt unfamiliar.
And unfamiliar felt scary.

My brain kept offering:
Law is easier.
You’ve already proven yourself there.
Why would you leave something you’re good at?

And then I asked a question that changed everything:

What if I’m wrong?

What if coaching is actually easier than law?
What if it’s easier to get clients than I think?
What if the journey ends up being far more enjoyable?

I knew coaching is more aligned with my purpose and therefore a better use of my time and energy, so I knew it was worth it to give this a chance.

When I showed my brain that I was willing to be wrong and that being wrong was safe, I felt my mind open up.

I wasn’t forcing belief.
I was allowing possibility.
It ended up being true.

This is one of my favorite shifts to use with my clients.

Because one of the main ways our brains keep us stuck is by being obsessed with being right.

When you consciously say:
“What if I’m wrong and that would actually be okay, or even better?”

Your brain finally has permission to consider change.

And that’s the whole point.

We want different results than the ones we currently have.
And different results require change.

If this resonates and you’re ready to explore what might be possible for you, my coaching container begins this January.

You don’t need certainty to start.
Just a willingness to ask: What if I’m wrong?
