Summary

Let's talk essentials: when you're face to face with hard choices, what flashes through your mind? What really matters? In order to tackle this incredibly important topic for our #Next90Days Challenge, I had to call on the master of essentialism himself; Greg McKeown. If you're not familiar with Greg's work, here's a little refresher: his New York Times bestselling book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less has transformed the way individuals and team view measures of success by stripping away everything that's standing in their way. What is left are the essentials, and that's exactly what we're diving into today. If you want to dive more into essentialism (and I highly recommend that you do) please check out Greg's website where you can view his interviews with top performers, check out his social media, and sign up for his newsletter! -- Do you have a question for Rachel? Wanna share your work from home stories, or have a question about what to do as you move through hard things? Give us a call! Seriously! Call (737) 400-HOCO, and press 1 to leave a question for Rach or Dave (or both). Press 2 to share a story about your journey - it can be about your Start Today Journal, attending a RISE conference, coaching, or anything you want! The best part? You only have to share your name and voice if you want to? Let us know when you leave your message and we'll take care of the rest. We can't wait to hear from you ;) -- Look, we can’t control what’s happening in the world, but we can control how we show up in it. That's why we want you to join us in our Next 90 Days Challenge, a totally free new experience featuring hours of free content plus a community of hundreds of thousands of people, committed to choosing joy even during this hard time. You can join anytime and get access to everything we've released so far, as well as future programming, so what do you have to lose? Who will you be 90 days from now? How do you want to show up for your life in that time? Head on over to https://bit.ly/risenext90 to get started. You asked for it, and we did it: our first-ever VIRTUAL conference is coming to a living room near you. RISExLive features a panel of speakers you wouldn't BELIEVE, all speaking to the power of courage in your life, as well as how to find the fire inside your soul, even when you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. It's all happening May 2nd, and tickets start at just $45! Head over to our website to learn more! Dave's first-ever book, Get Out Of Your Own Way, is OUT NOW! This book is for everyone, and we mean EVERYONE: women who loved Girl Wash Your Face, men who did or didn't read Girl Wash Your Face, personal development skeptics, personal development devotees, anyone and everyone who has a life and knows it could maybe get a little better if they could just get out of their own dang way!

0:00.0	I'm Rachel Hollis and I've built a multi-million dollar media company with a high school diploma
0:07.6	and the free information I found on the internet.
0:10.5	In the 15 years that I've been building and scaling my company, I have become deeply

0:46.2	How is it going, Greg?
0:48.4	You know, I feel a balance within me trying to keep a balance between a real awareness
0:56.1	of how disruptive and damaging these times are for many, many people.
1:03.6	Right?
1:04.6	That's like first thing.
1:06.1	And then there's a second part of me within me, which is just, it sounds strange to
1:12.1	say it, but deep optimism.
1:16.8	And I'm surprised by it, to be honest, but I feel this sense of all the good that both
1:24.6	can and I think will certainly come from this discombobulation.
1:30.9	And so that, I mean, I guess on a practical level, we started, I've been working for
