Hustle & Flow

#134: Ability v. Ambition


Listen Later

Do you ever get frustrated when things aren't happening as quickly as you'd like in your career or business? You know you've got what it takes but you're not getting the results you want or others seem to be doing better than you? Regardless of how much past success you've had or how much potential you know is possible, there might be a gap between your ability and ambition. So how do you go after big goals while being realistic about where you are now? That's what I'm covering in today's episode!

Here's what I'm sharing in this episode:

• Why you should heed the warning of "mind the gap" when it comes to any new undertaking in your personal or professional life

• How to recognize whether there's a gap between your ability and ambitThe different ways that the gap can show up in your business, and what you need to keep in mind if you're just starting something new

• Why I feel that your talent will eventually pay off (but it's a marathon, not a sprint)

• How your ego, and believing you are already the best, will hold you back if you're just starting out

• What my experience beginning a new business looked like, and the hard lessons I had to learn along the way

• Why being honest with yourself about where you are right now is always the best policy

• The tools that helped me in the early years as an entrepreneur and the invaluable perspectives that this time of life gave me
