In this episode, April breaks down the false dilemma of “either-or” thinking and makes the case for the genius of “AND.” Drawing inspiration from Jim Collins' Built to Last, April shares personal stories, client examples, and tactical steps to show you how to stop limiting yourself and instead ask the better question: “How can I do both?” If you’ve ever felt like you had to choose between your goals and your family, your health and your business, your creativity and your discipline—this episode will unlock new possibilities.
Key Takeaways:
-
Why “either/or” is often a lie that limits our lives and business
-
What Jim Collins meant by the “Genius of AND”
-
April’s personal battle with balancing parenting and ambition
-
Real client stories that highlight how to bust through black-and-white limitations
-
A 3-step system to shift your mindset and live into “AND”
-
The pivotal question that changes everything: “What would need to be true for this to be easy?”
Action Steps:
-
Identify your “OR” moments – Where have you bought into false choices?
-
Challenge the assumption – Ask: Is this really true, or is fear masquerading as fact?
-
Pivot with power – Ask: What would need to be true for me to have BOTH?
Quotes:
“Black-and-white thinking will rob us of our dreams.”
“If the current system doesn’t work for you—burn it down and build a new one.”
“When you live in the genius of AND, you open yourself up to limitless possibilities.”
