  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, where we're realizing everyone is always

  learning and living your full experience.

  I'm Coach C, your host. Welcome back to another Fearless Friday.
• 0:16
  Today, we're talking about layered liabilities. Let's talk about it.
• 0:22
  What's holding you back?
• 0:24
  No, really, what's weighing you down?
• 0:28
  What's slowing your progress? What's keeping you from becoming the person you say you want to be?
• 0:35
  Because here's what I've learned.
• 0:37
  Not everything we're carrying is helping us. Some of it is costing us.
• 0:44
  In finance, liabilities are obligations that reduce your net worth.
• 0:50
  They drain resources. They create debt.
• 0:54
  They limit options. And the truth is, many of us are walking around carrying layered liabilities,
• 1:03
  not financial liabilities, personal liabilities,
• 1:08
  the lies, the likes, the limits, the losers,
• 1:13
  the lackadaisical attitude, the lost lessons, the lingering excuses,
• 1:19
  the low expectations, The loud opinions of people who aren't even living the
• 1:24
  life you want. Layer upon layer.
• 1:27
  Year after year. And then we wonder why we're exhausted.
• 1:32
  We wonder why we're stuck. We wonder why we're not making progress.
• 1:37
  It's because every layer has a cost.
• 1:41
  The lie that says you're not enough. The need for likes and approval from people
• 1:46
  who don't pay your bills or fulfill your purpose.
• 1:49
  The self-imposed limits that keep you playing small. The relationships that
• 1:54
  drain more than they deposit.
• 1:56
  The lazy habits that rob your future.
• 1:59
  The lessons life tried to teach you that you refused to learn.
• 2:04
  Every layer becomes a liability.
• 2:06
  And liabilities collect interest. Leave insecurity unchecked long enough and it compounds.
• 2:13
  Leave fear unchecked long enough and it compounds.
• 2:17
  Leave excuses unchecked long enough and they become a lifestyle.
• 2:22
  That's why you have to deal with them before they deal with you.
• 2:26
  Because what you refuse to confront today will eventually collect payment tomorrow.
• 2:32
  Here's the good news. Just like in finances, you can improve your balance sheet.
• 2:38
  You can reduce liabilities. You can increase assets. Confidence is an asset.
• 2:46
  Discipline is an asset.
• 2:48
  Faith is an asset. Knowledge is an asset.
• 2:52
  Healthy relationships are assets. Consistency is an asset. Accountability is an asset.
• 2:59
  Every positive choice you make is another deposit into the future version of yourself.
• 3:05
  The question isn't whether you're carrying something. We all are.
• 3:10
  The question is, is what you're carrying helping you grow or helping you stay stuck?
• 3:16
  Take inventory. Audit your life. Look at every layer.
• 3:21
  Then decide what stays and what goes because your next level requires room and
• 3:27
  liabilities take up space that purpose was meant to occupy.
• 3:31
  Deal with them before they deal with you. Until next time, I want you to continue
• 3:38
  to live fearless and catch up on your fearless homework.
• 3:41
  This week's assignment, conduct a personal balance sheet.
• 3:45
  Draw a line down the center of a page. On one side, write liabilities.
• 3:52
  On the other side, write assets. Under liabilities, lists limiting beliefs,
• 3:59
  bad habits, toxic relationships, excuses, fears, unfinished lessons,
• 4:06
  time wasters, negative self-talk.
• 4:10
  Under assets list, your strengths, your skills, your healthy habits,
• 4:15
  your supportive people, faith, experience, discipline, opportunities.
• 4:21
  Now ask yourself, which liability is costing me the most right now?
• 4:27
  What asset do I need to strengthen to overcome it?
• 4:31
  What is one liability that I can begin eliminating this week?
• 4:37
  Then finish this statement.
• 4:39
  The layer I need to release is, and the asset I'm committed to building is.
• 4:46
  Your next level isn't always waiting on something to be added.
• 4:51
  Sometimes it's waiting on something to be removed.
• 4:55
  Every layer isn't protection. Some layers are liabilities.
