Do you follow your \u201cYes?\u201d\nFollowing your \u201cYes\u201d is about you taking a step forward in your partnerships by taking action and applying at least one thing you heard from our guests during their interviews this week.\nOn today\u2019s episode, all of this week\u2019s guests have generously provided BONUS MATERIAL, not included in the interviews you listened to earlier this week.\nEach one has provided incredible examples of the power of following your \u201cYes\u201d.\xa0\nEnjoy! \nScot and Emily McKay\nNot Following \u2013 \nScot \u2013 At a young age Scot started asking what happens when you have done your best work at something?\nTwo separate times he stuck around for a couple of extra years even thought his heart was telling him he was done.\nFirst was when he was working with at-risk teens.\xa0 And as he got to his late 20\u2019s he was not relating as well to teens anymore, but he stuck it out a couple of years longer than he should have.\xa0 And it was because he didn\u2019t have anything else in mind to go to. \nFinally he was forced to go somewhere else.\nThe second time he was a top performer in the IT world.\xa0 He got laid off went looking for another job in that field.\nThen he realized all he was doing was helping big businesses make a bunch of money.\xa0 And he kept doing it a couple of years longer than would have been best, because what he really wanted was to get back to his roots of helping people. \nEmily \u2013 She has found herself feeling guilty for doing what is right by her.\xa0\nIt could be as simple as going to a restaurant and not having a good feeling about it, but she sat down and ordered anyway.\xa0 This also applies to toxic people.\nFollowing their \u201cYes\u201d is especially important for both Scot and Emily since they are optimistic and generous people and tend to want to give people the benefit of the doubt.\xa0 So for them following their \u201cYes\u201d is often finding their No.\nFollowing \u2013 \nScot \u2013 He started his career as a dating coach at the same time that the movie \u201cHitch\u201d came out.\xa0 And nobody thought it was a good idea for him to head that direction with his career.\nScot knew he needed a career change and did not want to work for someone else anymore.\xa0\nHe wanted to get back to helping people and then Emily came along and really believed in him.\nScot was so passionate about this work, that he trusted that passion and now 11 years later they are doing great on a global scale.\nEven though it looked crazy at the time, because of the passion it worked.\nEmily \u2013 She gave birth to their child at home even thought her OB/GYN fired her for it.\xa0 It turned out to be a great idea.\xa0 It was her \u201cYes.\u201d\nListen to Scot & Emily\u2019s full interview here\nConnect with Scot & Emily \u2013\nScot & Emily\u2019s website\nTravel + Adventure = Freedom site\nScot & Emily\u2019s Facebook Link\nScot\u2019s Twitter Link\nPhillipe Drolet\nNot Following \u2013\nPhillipe was feeling overwhelmed and knew he needed to talk with his girlfriend about it.\nHe knew he was too tired to have the conversation in the moment.\xa0 However, when he mentioned to her before going to bed that he wanted to talk about it tomorrow, but now was not the right time since they were both tired.\nThen they started talking about it and before he knew it, they were going way deeper into the subject than felt right.\xa0\nAnd not honoring his \u201cYes\u201d led to a bad decision by them, but he didn\u2019t listen to his guidance.\nFollowing \u2013\nNot following his \u201cYes\u201d led Phillipe and his girlfriend to the wrong conclusion.
