On Today's Episode:
It doesn’t matter who you are, what your profession or industry may be, a common plight that is familiar to all of us is how to get started. Everyone struggles with getting started at some point. When you step into doing something new or tackle big goals and tasks that can feel overwhelming, not knowing where or how to start can be paralyzing. So, I’m taking you through the ABCs of how to get started and it comes down to taking action. I’m going to give you the tips and tools you need to get over the hurdles and around the roadblocks that slow down your progress. From failure to indecisiveness to just overthinking problems, I’ve got some rules you can try out and the mindset I use to overcome it all and achieve high levels of success.

“Make sure that you change your relationship to failure, failure is incredibly useful.” [6:41]
“When it comes to figuring out where to start. The truthful answer is, guess and get going” [7:28]
“You're not going to think your way to success, you are definitely going to get in there and DO your way to success [...] There's no magical first step.” [9:24]
“I don't allow myself to think, even if it's true, anything that moves me away from my goals.” [15:48]
“When people are procrastinating when they give up when they seem to lack grit. The reality is you just don't want it badly enough.” [29:08]
“If you think you're a loser, but you don't have proof, there's hoping that when you try something and you lose, now, it's for real.” [31:45]
“You can have anything you want in life if you’re willing to pay the price to get it - if you want to have the stamina to pay the price it is all about building desire” [36:29]
