Multi-Passionate Mistake #1: Feeling like all of my ideas needed to be acted upon at the same time

I didn’t want my ideas to gather dust, so I start taking action on all of them at once. After all, shouldn’t I be able to “do it all” as a multi-passionate?

These are the thoughts that kept me making these mistakes:

I was worried that if you didn’t act on all of my ideas, someone else would get to them before me.

I was afraid that I would lose interest if you didn’t get started NOW.
I was concerned that something else would come along and distract me.

There was an INTENSE sense of urgency and it was really stressful. The result was that I would take action on everything and nothing would actually get done.

Luckily, I figured out a way to bring my ideas to life WITHOUT the urgency and finally started completing my projects. I break down exactly how I did it in this FREE training.

Multi-Passionate Mistake # 2: Thinking that a new planner was going to magically create clear priorities for me.

This one is kind of funny but I’ve done it SO many times. Once I would finally decide that I wanted to get my priorities in order, the first thing I would do is go buy a new planner (and colorful pens and stickers).
It turns out that trying to outsource my ability to create priorities to a planner, was keeping me from having a PROCESS for creating priorities that actually worked for me as a multi-passionate.

Eventually, I stopped buying new planners and focused on creating a system that I call The Priority Mapping Method.

Multi-Passionate Mistake #3: Choosing something to prioritize but second-guessing myself so often that I end up doing something else instead.

Ugh. So I would finally figure out what to prioritize, but then I would hit a roadblock and start thinking thoughts like:

How do I know if this is the right thing?

Am I even going to be able to stick with this long-term?

I haven’t been able to complete anything in the past, what’s going to make this any different?

When all that self-doubt was present my other ideas would start looking REAL GOOD.

If you’re multi-passionate, I know you can relate to this mistake. Shiny object syndrome gets the best of us when we’re already second-guessing ourselves.

I FINALLY cracked the code on this when I started focusing MORE on gaining momentum, tracking my progress, and celebrating my wins along the way, and LESS on doubting myself.
