69. Let me start my life over
I totally agree with my guest on this week's podcast, Layne Frank.\xa0 "Experiences will keep you going and they're FREE."
\xa0
Layne has had an interesting journey.\xa0 Earlier in his life, when he had a young family, he woke up one day and said to himself, "let me start my life over".
\xa0
He wanted more and getting fired ended up being a gift.\xa0 He thought to himself "I can't let this happen" then he went about figuring out how to make his life better.\xa0
\xa0
And then he did it!\xa0 He took action.
\xa0
Taking risks was definitely part of it. Connecting with people everyday and enjoying his experiences were also a huge part of his success.
\xa0
He encourages us to do the following (with my insights in parentheses):
- Ask for support (always; people want to help)
- Go with your gut (no one every regrets this)
- Ask questions about what you like (curiosity is key)
- Overcome fear in order to succeed or move ahead (fear is normal)
- Time is a precious resource; don't lose it (we can't make more time)
- Start, evolve, build (take action; do something)
Tune in to see the greatest gift he offers each day.
