189. Commitment is a Daily Decision

You put in effort, you get a few clients, things start to move. And then you take your foot off the gas. The clients slow down. And suddenly you're thinking this isn't working.

Sound familiar?

In this episode Jillian talks about what commitment actually looks like in a practice — not the New Year's resolution kind, but the real, daily, sometimes moment-by-moment kind. And why commitment has to come before the proof, not after.

In this episode:

The pattern Jillian sees constantly with practitioners and why it keeps them stuck
Why wanting proof before you commit is completely backwards
The difference between confidence and self-confidence and why it changes everything
Her personal story of committing to $10k months before she had any evidence it was possible
How she applied the same commitment to healing chronic pain she'd lived with for over half her life
What the first month of that commitment actually looked like, day by day
The two questions to ask yourself every time you make a commitment
The real question underneath all of it — and why it's usually what's standing between you and the thing you want
Why commitment isn't comfortable and why that's exactly the point

The key insight from this episode:

Commitment has to come before the proof, or the proof never gets the chance to show up. Most people want to see it working before they'll fully commit. But that's backwards. Self-confidence isn't trusting that the outcome will go a certain way. It's trusting yourself to handle it either way.

The two questions from this episode:

What am I saying yes to? And what am I saying no to?

Ask those every time you make a commitment. And then every day, sometimes every moment, ask: why do I keep showing up for this?
