You’ve experienced success, and you are the person that others come to for answers. The problem is that sometimes this very success becomes a trap, stopping us from dreaming new dreams and taking on new challenges. Today’s conversation dives deep into permission. What does it mean to give ourselves permission to be a novice again and to start small when we are used to thinking big? How can we permit ourselves to step into the unknown when we are already successful problem solvers? Today’s show will be incredibly valuable for you! Join us to be inspired to break free from whatever is holding you back from your next level of success.
