100 – Screwing up to WIN with Dan Martell
Dan Martell is a serial Entrepreneur whoâs aha moment at one of his darkest moments and launched Dan to become a successful entrepreneur, angel investor and mentor many start up companies. His current company www.clarity.fm has a goal of positive impact on 1 Billion people in the next decade. After one person saw in him, something that he had not seen in himself, he began his journey that he thanks some great people and a little luck for. At 18 he started a biz and failed At 20 he started another biz with borrowed family money and failed At 24 he started again when he realized that he wanted to create something bigger than himself and succeeded. Along the way he has learnt some very important life and business lessons. Below are some of his tips for success that he shares on the show. First: Screwing up is normal â When you are screwing up it does not mean that âYouâre a Screw Upâ âYour not a screw up, your just screwing upâ When starting out: Find someone mentors who have recently done that thing that you want to do next, spend time with them and model them and what they are doing that is creating success. Then you can prove to yourself that itâs not that hard and that they are not as smart as you first thought they were. Youâre not supposed to know the answers, as entrepreneurs we are not meant to know the first time, be a beginner first Remember one of my favorite sayings âEvery Master was Once a Disasterâ. All things are possible, A person just has to decide â In the end Its just a decision. Asked for some specific for some of his big ahaâs, Dan shared these pearls of wisdom: When you have that feeling that you should do something, simply say F*@*k Yes or Heck Yes and start moving forward â Take Action Today. Stop talking about it and move your ideas forward. Understand the Knowing-Doing Gap (When you know inside that you should do something and just continue to sit on it) â So just DO IT. Embrace uncertainty and ignorance, in the beginning and often along the journey you will not know so make uncertainty your friend Perspective: Ask not if your worthy of your goals, ask if your goals are worthy of your life â Its not âdo I deserve to have these thingsâ the better question is âare these things worthy of me investing my life into themâ Surround yourself with the right people, the people that will PLUS your ideas. Surround yourself with people who will...
099 – Ana Neff , âThe Freedom Junkieâ
David shares the importance of transparency and how it can become the source of our ultimate power. Also he introduces us to the wonderful and slightly crazy Ana Neff, AKA âThe Freedom Junkieâ, as she takes us behind the scenes of living a life that is full, passionate, exciting and completely rewarding. Strap in and hold on! In her own words: Hey there, fellow Freedom Junkie! I want you to know something: I love living an {unconventional} life of freedom, passion, and purpose. Really love it. Not only that, Iâve been through myriad soul-transforming adventures and misadventures which all taught me how to live passionately, authentically, and purposefully â every day. The biggest bonus? Freedom. And I want you to have that too. That is precisely why it is so important to me that YOU not waste any more of your precious life energy and freedom doing things YOU donât want to be doing, or being someone you donât want to be. I want you to create a life that is lived on YOUR own terms, in a way that you are proud of, with no regrets. Frankly, I donât care what it looks like â I just want YOU to care, and YOU to be happy â noâŚECSTATICALLY PASSIONATE â about it. In addition to being a Freedom Junkieâ˘, Iâm also a {transformational} life coach, guide, and mentor to passionate people like you â yes, YOU. If you werenât passionate, you wouldnât be here! Iâve chosen to serve and change the world in this way because the only thing I love as much as living my own amazing life is helping YOU have the confidence, clarity, self-love, and tools you need to live a life of freedom, adventure, and purpose on your own terms. Aside from going to a top coaching program, having a degree in Clinical Psychology, being a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (C-PCC) and having two Masterâs degrees from badass schools (I know some of yâall care about that kind of thing), here are a few of those aforementioned adventures (and misadventures): Survived cancer. Twice (kidney cancer and worse-than-superficial melanoma). And now thriving. Yup. I knowâŚright?! Talk about reasons to ask, âWTF?â These two episodes in particular are ones that I really want YOU to benefit from, instead of having to go through them yourself. Please allow me to have done that for you. Almost became a Buddhist nun. Twice. Like, almost shaved my head and took vows of celibacy. For realz. The first was after doing a month-long meditation retreat in the foothills of the Himalaya in Nepal and realizing the whole point of being...
