What Are You Waiting For?

The Rocky Garza Show

In this episode, I address a common struggle among leaders: the tendency to delay important decisions that could improve their lives. Whether it's waiting until the next month or the new year, many leaders and CEOs fall into the trap of hesitation when it comes to creating meaningful change. I challenge you to stop waiting and take action now, as the change you're looking for begins the moment you decide to ask for help.

Key Quotes

• "The catalytic moment you are longing for in your life comes right on the other side of clarity."
• "Why do we consistently wait to make a decision when we know we need change?"
• "You didn’t get to where you are today by yourself, so why do you believe you need to tackle the next challenge alone?"

The Cost of Waiting

Many leaders struggle with taking decisive action when they know change is needed. Instead of seizing the moment, they push it off to a future date, hoping circumstances will magically change. In this episode, I explore the mindset behind waiting and the ways it can prevent you from reaching your full potential. I encourage you to stop waiting for the “right” time and start asking: What are you waiting for?

The Struggle to Ask for Help

One of the biggest barriers to taking action is the reluctance to ask for help. Many leaders believe that seeking support is a sign of weakness, yet they forget that they didn’t achieve their current success alone. I challenge the notion that you have to go it alone and explain how asking for help can be the key to unlocking the next level of your personal and professional growth.

Condensing Time by Asking for Help

I share how working with clients who are willing to ask for help can dramatically condense time and produce results faster. When you have someone to guide you, growth becomes more intentional, and you’re able to solve problems before they escalate. By dedicating just an hour of time to personal growth each week, you can see immense change, as demonstrated by a client who transformed her life and business after asking for help.

Client Success Story: Overcoming Stagnation

I recount a powerful success story of a client in the creative space whose business had plateaued after a decade. Through coaching, she was able to break through the stagnation, increase her revenue by 111%, build a stronger team, and create new opportunities. Her life began to change the moment she admitted she needed help. This story illustrates the power of action and clarity in driving transformation.

Identifying Areas for Change

What area of your life are you waiting to change? Whether it’s personal, professional, financial, emotional, or relational, identifying where you want to grow is the first step. The EPS Matrix I use with clients helps provide a snapshot of where you are today and where you want to be, giving you clarity and direction for the journey ahead.

Final Thoughts and Encouragement

The moment of clarity you are seeking might be as simple as acknowledging that it’s time to ask for help. The waiting game ends when you take the first step toward change. Today, I challenge you to ask yourself: What are you waiting for? And is today the day you finally take action?
