#536: Capacity and Capability

The Life Coach School Podcast

Show Notes

Have you ever noticed that just when things start going well, you somehow find a way to mess it up?

Maybe you finally start making good money... but then spend it all immediately.

Or you attract a healthy relationship... but find yourself creating drama.

Or you're making progress in your business... but suddenly feel overwhelmed and pull back.

Here's the truth: It's not your capabilities holding you back. It's your capacity.

In this week's episode, I dive deep into the crucial difference between capability and capacity and why understanding this distinction could be the key to unlocking your next level of success.

What You Will Discover:

Why people with all the right skills still sabotage their success when they haven't expanded their capacity to hold it.

How to identify and question the thoughts that are limiting your capacity for money, relationships, and success.

The three-step process to increase your capacity: awareness, decision-making, and deliberate practice.

Why avoiding stress and overwhelm actually shrinks your life and limits your opportunities.

How to develop capability through massive action and failure while building capacity at the same time.

The difference between taking on more stress that kills you versus stress that grows you.

What happens when your capability outpaces your capacity and how to bring them into alignment.
