Today’s episode is going to change the way you think about your life.
If you keep telling yourself you want to:
- go after something bigger
- start something new
- speak up
- take a chance
- or finally do the thing you know you’re meant to do in life…
but you “just can’t seem to find the time,” or “make it happen,” this is the conversation you need to hear right now.
Seth Godin is going to call you out in the kindest, clearest, most liberating way.
Seth is one of Mel’s most beloved business mentors. He’s written more than 20 bestselling books, his ideas have influenced millions of people around the world, and he’s widely considered the godfather of modern marketing.
But this episode is not about marketing.
It’s about the life you want to live, and why you keep putting it off with busyness, scrolling, excuses like, “I’ll do it when…”
Seth is going to teach you how to stop procrastinating and start moving forward, even if you’re scared, even if you’re tired, even if you don’t feel ready.
Once you hear what Seth says about resistance, you’re going to feel a fire in your belly to make you take action.
You’ll learn:
-The one word that is keeping you stuck and the one word that will help you move forward
-How to stop waiting for permission and pick yourself
-The small, simple way to start that actually works, even when you’re overwhelmed
-How to stop getting trapped by fear and what other people think
-How perfectionism keeps you safe, but also keeps you stuck
By the end of this conversation, you’re going to feel capable, and you’re going to want to take action immediately.
