In this episode, we talk all about potential. You don't even know my potential. Maybe neither do I. And that's what we talk about. 

I truly believe that our potential is for a purpose. You want to be in your purpose, living your purpose, living your best dream life ever.  The pain of falling short is nothing compared to the pain of stopping short. 

There's shame in stopping short - that's giving up, but there is no shame in falling short, in giving it your best, even when it comes to relationships or friendships, not just business.

I don't want you to miss out on your potential by living in someone else's purpose or trying to, because in reality, you can never live in someone else's purpose. It reminds me of the story of the fish that tries to climb the tree…

It's whenever you're ready to take that step into your potential, like your purpose is there and there's just me, there's going to be a lot of people that have the same ideas, that have the same callings on their lives, but it's who answers. It's who's willing…

You can choose to be afraid and use “being afraid” as an excuse and maybe someone will validate it for you and someone will say: “Oh my gosh, yeah, you're right. That is really scary.” But then, there's other people that have gone ahead and done it.

So the only difference is their self-belief that they can do it. And your disbelief that you can't. 

Stay tuned as we delve into how you can start living up to your potential.
