004: Why Taking Action Will Get You Where You Wanna Go

It's about becoming the most that you can be. What that is, is a completely personal choice.      

Welcome to the fourth episode of Action Taker Tribe! In this episode, I discuss how we can sometimes find ourselves lost in the day-to-day forgetting we were once a wide-eyed adventurous youth. As we get older, it's important not to forget your dreams and ambitions. 

As Tony Robbins says, if you're not growing you're dying. 

So as new entrepreneurs how do we make sure growth and contribution are part of our vision? What are the actions you need to take to get there? 

I also discuss Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and how it relates to the business that you’re building. It's all about building a business with purpose and a business that is heart-centered. We want to create an impact. We want to feel lit up every day with a sense of meaning. That's the self-actualization part of building our businesses. That's where growth and contribution combine into making something beautiful in our lives and make us feel amazing.  So here I am in my mid-forties, and it's the first time since my early twenties, that I am feeling alive and passionate and inspired. And I feel that I have no choice, but to build my business. 

Do you feel the same? It's just no choice. This is a calling. I have to do it. I'm learning and growing. This is a call to arms. Let's just keep going. 

Take the action.
