Show Notes:
Human relationships, choices, empathy, and digging into our own emotions
Difference between quitting & surrender
Why people jump ship or give up mid-pursuit
Sharing your goals or ideas can either cause stagnation or incite accountability
Allowing for bends, obstacles and detours in your roadmap
Idealistic vs. realistic goals and dreams
Understanding that obstacles aren’t always the result of bad decisions
Life is a series of choices and can’t predict unexpected circumstances
Living through and into the journey is just as important as the end result
Does our culture of instant access, convenience + outsourcing cause us to live less gratifying lives?
What causes us to create our own mutiny?
Short term vs. long term decisions and visions are not mutually exclusive
Stories of people who have such strong commitment + self-belief that the only option is success, no matter how long it takes (Bob Taylor, Steve Jobs)
Cloud exercise as way to visualize then actualize your vision and goals
Relationships and people aren’t perfect, it’s important to listen, empathize and adjust
Tips to be successful and not jump ship:
Have a growth mindset
Know your appetite for this type of venture
Must be ok with making adjustments along the way
Adversity will reveal who you truly are and not who you say you are
