#206 - Becoming a TEDX Speaker Was Worth The 6 Year Wait.

42 minutes

Nothing happens overnight. Success does not come quickly. It is a slow process, but to the observer of the final outcome, it can seem “easy.”

Becoming a TEDX speaker took six years for me to finally get on stage.

In today’s episode I share what happened six years ago to put me on this journey. I reveal exactly the steps I took, what I needed, who I needed, and how I finally landed a TEDX invitation. This achievement was my equivalent of getting admitted to a top 25 college, you know, the colleges that admit under 10% of their applicant pool? Yeah, like that.

If you’ve ever had a big dream, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever coached or mentored someone to achieve their dream, this is definitely for you.

If you are currently dreaming of something bigger than yourself, this episode was made for you!
