Summary

It's normal to be resistant about stepping out of your comfort zone and into something you aren't familiar with. Why wouldn't you be hesitant? That's where the unknown is and where the danger lies. But, as we talk about on the episode today, "You don't have to know everything about something in order to walk into it."

This week we're thrilled to have our good friend, Shauna Niequist on the Dream Big Podcast.  

Shauna Niequist is the New York Times bestselling author of Cold Tangerines, Bittersweet, Bread & Wine, Savor, Present Over Perfect and the new Present Over Perfect Guided Journal. She is married to Aaron, and they live in New York City with their sons, Henry and Mac. Shauna is a bookworm, a storyteller, and a passionate gatherer of people, especially around the table.

P.S. We'd like to extend to you a free month of our exclusive Bob Weekly content. All you have to do is click this link and sign up for a month of video teachings and a guided curriculum.

Become a Certified Dream Big Coach

There are people who are one coaching session away from radically changing the trajectory of their lives. We all dream about making a difference in other people's lives. Some of us are called to make a deliberate, focused impact through the work of coaching.

It's what we're all wired for- to make a real difference. More than just the desire, though, affecting change in other people's lives is serious business, with core competencies and tools you can learn and implement. There are people close to you who...

Feel like they're missing out on a different life, a life that others seem to experience.

Were hoping that it would've all just worked out by now, but it hasn't.

Wondering if this life is as good as it gets. 

Who will intervene and guide them to a different reality?

Become a Certified Dream Big Coach

Also, we have two Dream Big live workshops coming up in December and January. Join Bob Goff at The Oaks December 6-8 for a three-day experience and bring your dreams along! What better way to prepare for the new year than to prioritize your dreams, set some goals, and make them a reality. Your dream might seem ridiculous, but not here. The bigger your dreams are, the better. 

The Dream Big framework is Bob's personal outline to dream execution in a straightforward 7-step approach. You'll spend 3 days hearing from Bob's experiences and collaboration with a tight-knit collective of other dreamers like you. During the sessions, Bob will help you stop hitting the wall and repeating the same mistakes when trying to start your dream. He'll come alongside and show you how to make room in your everyday life to make your goals happen.

The recipe for success pairs Bob’s expertise with an intimate, small group setting where your dream will get focused attention and a tangible action plan. As a result, space is limited so reserve your spot today.

We can’t wait to Dream Big with you at The Oaks!
