The only thing that was really holding me back was time and full-on commitment.\nSomething I\u2019ve been thinking about lately is the connection between fitness and the creative lifestyle. Bringing movement and fitness into my life and taking care of my body allows me more clarity of mind, which in turn helps me continue to press forward in my creative journey.\n\nToday I\u2019m talking to Amanda Bucci, fitness expert and online entrepreneur and coach. Amanda started her creative journey when she fell in love with exercise. From there she started building fitness training programs and then transitioned over to entrepreneur coaching. I met Amanda through Lewis Howes and she hired me to photograph her for her brand. We quickly became friends, and I love what she\u2019s up to. It all plays into the space of creative entrepreneurship and how we create a balanced lifestyle that integrates your relationships, business, spirituality, personal development, fitness, and creativity.\nIt has been a result of my ambition, a result of my creativity, a result of putting myself in the right environment.\n\n\nSome things we learn in this podcast:\n\n \tHow Amanda got into fitness [4:30]\n \tAmanda found a community online [6:00]\n \tWhy she transitioned from fitness to focus more on entrepreneurship [9:30]\n \tWhen Amanda started viewing her entrepreneurship creatively [11:00]\n \tAmanda\u2019s advice on how to create a safety net [17:05]\n \tWhat you have to sacrifice in order to make the leap [19:20]\n \tWhat inspired Amanda to create instead of consume [21:45]\n \tHow Amanda\u2019s business has evolved [23:00]\n \tWhat Amanda got from Lewis Howes\u2019 mastermind [26:00]\n \tHow she prioritizes everything in her life [28:55]\n \tHow Amanda has dealt with rejection [36:20]\n \tWhat spirituality means to her [38:20]\n \tWhat motivates Amanda [41:10]\n \tHow traveling to Guatemala with Pencils of Promise affected her [43:00]\n \tAmanda\u2019s content creation process [45:40]\n \tWhat other creative outlets Amanda is pursuing [49:20]\n \tHow Amanda deals with lack vs. abundance [54:45]\n \tAmanda\u2019s top three books [56:50]\n \tWhat is next for Amanda [59:20]\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\n \tListen to Amanda\u2019s podcast\n \tCheck out Dom Mazzetti\n \tLearn more about Lewis Howes\u2019 Mastermind\n \tRead the books mentioned in today's episode:\n\n \tThe One Thing by Gary Keller\n \tRadical Candor by Kim Scott\n \tThe 10X Rule by Grant Cardone\n \tMindset by Carol Dweck\n\n\n\nConnect\xa0with \xa0Instagram\xa0|\xa0Twitter\xa0|\xa0Website
