5 tips to stop waiting for opportunities

Growth Mindset Psychology
About this episode

The awkward thing about finding our calling. Is that our calling isn’t out there looking for us.


It's easy to be stuck in mediocrity waiting for the perfect moment or for that ambiguous feeling that we are totally ready and blessed with pre-ordained approval to start our ideas.


These days knowledge is abundant and easily accessible. What's scarce is the willingness to show up, create, and launch our thoughts into the world before we feel ready.


In this episode:

  • How the world is changing and the new rules of opportunity
  • Instead of waiting for permission, you can create opportunities for yourself
  • How to stop asking "Am I good enough?" and build a framework to continuously improve at anything you do.
