Do you ever feel like you’re not having the kind of impact you want with your business? Like when you reach the end of the year, you look back and ask yourself “did any of it matter?”

And even when you have a steady stream of projects and your clients are singing your praises, something still feels off.

You’re not alone.

And in this episode, I go over what to do when those feelings come up.

I recently had a conversation with a past client who’s found success but still feels this sense of unfulfillment and was considering starting a new venture. And there was one thing I told him to do first.

If you want to know exactly what to do when you’re feeling unfulfilled in your business, this is for you.

Covered in this episode:

  • Why success isn’t always fulfilling.
  • What to do when you don’t feel you’re making the impact you should be.
  • The key skills every entrepreneur needs before launching something new.
  • Why it’s easier than ever to launch new ideas.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
