Show Notes:

What if success wasn’t about working harder, but working SMARTER? My conversation with Seth Godin completely shifted my perspective. Strategy isn’t about hustling faster—it’s about PAUSING and asking, “Am I headed in the right direction?” Seth made it CRYSTAL CLEAR: you can’t serve everyone, and that’s where your true power lies. FOCUS on who you’re truly here to help, and don’t be afraid to say “no” to the rest. My biggest AHA moment? Fear is ALWAYS there, but it’s not your enemy—it’s your signal that you’re stepping into something GREAT. If you want to learn how to navigate fear, sharpen your strategy, and make bold, impactful moves, Seth’s new book This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans is a must-read. Push through, STAY FOCUSED, and watch the MAGIC unfold.
