The FIO Superpower

One of my VIP coaching clients is determined not to need anyone to fix things for him. He’s steeped in his desire and his ability to figure out how to make or modify anything to the way he wants it. He’s amazing in that if there’s anything not to his liking in his world, he’ll just take care of it. He’ll fix things from cars to A/C units, just because they need to be fixed.
He does that in his businesses, as well. As a serial entrepreneur, he’s doing what it takes to make it work.
I call this The F.I.O. Superpower!
The ability to Figure It Out really is a superpower.
At its base is a matter of trust. If you trust yourself so deeply to know, really To KNOW, that you have the ability to figure it out, whatever it is, you’ll be able to rely on yourself for anything. It doesn’t mean you can’t ask for help. It means you don’t live in the space of needing to ask for help. That’s a place of waiting to be rescued and we’ve all seen people who simply stop. They stop, and wait.
When you carry that Figure It Out ability into the world, or perhaps into a board meeting, you carry the power of trust. You show up in a way that is grounded and deliberate.
Now, I’m not saying you have to be like my friend and aim to need no one because you’ll fix everything yourself. I am saying that you have to believe in yourself enough to know, again, to deeply know, that you can figure it out, whatever it is.
Life gets overwhelming sometimes. There sure is a lot to sort through. But don’t stop because there’s so much. Take on a piece of something and see it through.
Sometimes, figuring it out means knowing which resource to draw upon, including other people for guidance. We’re out here! Rely on your ability to figure it out. Build trust with yourself. Seek help and learn along the way. Take action and learn along the way. That’s how you win.
You win or you learn, and if you learn you win!
What have you put off approaching because you didn’t know how.
It’s time. Learn, win, grow, repeat.
Get in there. And reach out as needed.
Keep making your magic.
