517: You're Sabotaging Your Potential—Here's How to Stop

Have you ever felt like you're holding back your true potential?

In this episode, I explore the power of belief and urge business owners to put their aspirations in writing, align their lives to them, and get over the naysayers—sometimes even their own doubts.

Here are 3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Dream Big and Bold: Write down your true aspirations, not just the "realistic" ones. Look at them daily as you take steps to bring your dreams to life. Your dreams deserve attention and action every single day.
  2. Overcome Doubters: Belief is your foundation, and it requires an almost unhealthy level of conviction. Don't let others—especially those close to you—shake your faith in your dreams. Believe to achieve!
  3. Align Your Life to Your Dreams: Evaluate and adjust your life to support your goals, not the other way around. Living intentionally aligns your paths and actions with your aspirations, making them achievable.
