Do not wait.
Do not wait until the time is right to
start seriously improving your business English.
If you know
that you need to speak better English for your career
but you think that you're too busy, watch this episode.
You'll learn three life-changing strategies
for learning English when your time is very valuable.
And these are lessons that I've learned from decades.
That sounds really old to say that
but literally like 20 years of experience helping hundreds
of clients as a business English neuro language coach.
All right, let's go.
Now. Waiting is probably one
of the biggest mistakes that I see smart
professional people making.
They can see and they can feel
that their English is holding them back professionally
and that it's hurting them a little bit every day.
But they say, and they think, I'm too busy.
I'll start in a few months.
I, I need to think about it.
I'm not sure that I have enough time.
But here's the thing, yes
you can fit English into your schedule
but only if you start right now, right away.
And you can already see this and feel this at your work.
You can, you know
that you are ready to speak better English, that
you're ready to have more confidence when you're speaking.
And you've been feeling this probably for quite a long time.
I mean, every time that you can't speak
up or speak clearly in your meetings in English
every time that you don't get that job or that opportunity
and every time that you see
that English is limiting your potential, your English is
constantly reminding you something needs to change.
So you know that something needs to change.
But this is something that I see way too often.
You trick yourself.
You tell this story to yourself that, you know
I'm too busy right now.
I just need to wait until I have more time.
You know, I don't, I don't, I can't do it.
But here's the thing
there is no magical tomorrow when you will be less busy
or when you will have more time.
I mean, maybe think about the past, I don't know
two years in your life during that time.
Was there a time when you were much less busy
than you are now?
Probably not.
And that's probably gonna continue into the future.
And that means that you're going to continue also
feeling frustrated and stuck until, I don't know when.
And I've seen a lot of people finally
change their career reality when they change their English.
Like really?
And this is a change, like a mindset shift takes 30 seconds
and it looks like this.
That's it.
I have to do something now.
I have goals that I care about in my life and in my work.
English is stopping me and I'm tired
of it and I'm going to do something about it today.
And that little five second decision to
act will save you hundreds of hours
because you have decided to make a change.
You realize that you're tired
of waiting for the right time, which will never come.
And you decide like you make that decision
that now is the right time.
And that is one of the most important time
management changes that you can make.
For example, one of my big personal goals, you know
that I have my own business business English with Christina.
And when I was thinking about starting the business
of course there were just, I mean
I had to learn everything because I wasn't an entrepreneur.
I've never had a business and I didn't, to be honest
I didn't know what I was doing.
And I could have said to myself, oh
I'm too busy with my job, because I was working
in a training, training organization at the time.
But I knew that I had this deep goal
which was to create my business
to be able to help people like you, to have the confidence
in their English in a different way, different
from like other traditional, classic language school offers.
But also for me personally, like you know, I'm American.
I live in France, but my family is all in the us.
My parents, they are not getting younger.
And I know that at some point I will probably
need to be able to literally take my business
and be able to go back
to the US in order to take care of them.
And I can't do that if I'm working in a company.
And so one of my big goals was
I would say for you, but also
for me to be able to have that freedom and that flexibility.
And so I knew that, you know
if I kept telling myself I don't have time
I'm afraid I don't know how to do it
then I would never reach this goal
of having a business that allows me to go back
to the US for a long time, the day when I will need to.
And so I found the time, it was often nights
it was often weekends, it was, you know
in addition to my regular job.
But I knew that I had to start and I had to do it.
And, and that's what I did.
You have to think what is your goal?
What is your deep down goal?
And then you have to just start working at it.
There's never a perfect time to start.
But if you make that decision
that now is the time that you will start
you will find a way to make it happen.
And you know, that is, I would say
probably one of the best time management decisions that most
of us make in this business world.
It's, you decide what matters.
You decide what goes on your to-do list.
You decide what goals you want to reach, not someone else.
I mean, yes
you have the goals that maybe your boss sets for you
but you also have your own goals and that you
can find the time to start working towards those goals.
So I mean, why don't, why don't more people do this?
Because everyone can do it Well, because it's different.
It's new you, it takes work.
It's not easy to be honest.
And you have to see yourself in a new way.
You have to maybe change your habits, change your schedule.
You have to think again
about how you spend your time and how you organize yourself.
You may have to reorganize your routines
and you may have to have difficult discussions with the
the important people in your life
so that they can support you
because they know how important that is for you.
And then you have to hold yourself responsible
for working on your English consistently.
Not just when you have time or when you feel like it
but you have to create your routine, your schedule
something that fits into your day every day.
And yes, I like
I know that you have obligations, you have deadlines.
It's the same for me.
But you can make that decision to spend 10, 15,
20, 30 minutes per day on your English.
You don't have to start with your
your ideal schedule to begin with
but you just have to start.
And after you start, then you can optimize
then you can improve.
But if you're always saying, now is not the right time
I'll do it later, you're never gonna start.
And that's why it's important also to not
let others dictate your schedule
or your to-do list for every moment of your day.
Like I said, yes, you have obligations
to other people that's part of life
but you also have to have obligations to yourself.
You know, don't leave it up to chance.
You know, you have to show
up every day and take these steps one at a time
but maybe it takes years.
Hey, that's part of the process.
It's, it's not always a fast process
but if you're doing it regularly, over time
you are going to get to the place that you want to be.
So make sure that the way that you're spending
your time today is going to get you
to the place that you want to be in the future.
You don't wanna have regrets later.
