CARLA ONDRASIK: "Stop Trying"

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

When we "try" we're really just giving ourselves permission to postpone success, is the message from Carla Ondrasik, author of "Stop Trying: The life-transforming power of trying less and doing more."  Carla's book, which hits shelves today, outlines the steps and strategies to train your brain to filter out the noise, make choices, and step into the activity you've decided upon to meet a goal. 

A successful music executive who discovered and signed her now-famous husband, John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting, Carla knows what she's talking about. She's been putting it into practice for a very long time hitting her targets in business, in her marathon running days, in parenting, and as the president of her HOA. Now she can add "author" to the list of accomplishments her philosophy has led her to.

We had a delightful conversation. Come on in!
