Episode 318: Success without perfection (resourcefulness)

I was having a conversation with a dear friend and mentor of mine - Erika Cramer (AKA the Queen of Confidence) last week, and she said somethin' that blew my mind.

"You need this skill if you’re going to be successful: RESOURCEFULNESS"

She went on to say ...

"You may not have the resources.

You may not know how to do something.

But you figure it out.

You commit to making it happen.

You find a way instead finding a reason why you can’t.

This is a skill you must cultivate especially if you have huge dreams to impact

Get good at YouTube searching, get good at Google, get good at asking, investing, reading, watching and researching.

THIS is what separates the Dreamers from the Doers.

Do not wait for someone else to bring you the answer, go out and find it."

Oooo yeah, told you it was good.

So, of course I wrote this word down in my notebook and spent a week thinking about it and how you can use this idea in your health and training.
In today’s EP we are talking about resourcefulness. I talk about knowing how to adapt, pivoting when things don’t go as planned, and maximising results even when life gets messy and you don't have allll the answers. ‘Cause remember—it’s not about what you’ve got, it’s about what you do with it.
Grab a notebook (or just listen close) ‘cause you’re gonna wanna put this into action right away.
