Adventure Knocks! Stories, Strategies + Insights from Thriving Entrepreneurs

“There are two paths in this life: creation or destruction.” Kevin Smith said that in the Keynote at Podcast Movement 2016 in Chicago.

I had been having some severe anxiety that morning. Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were killed, and then a sniper took out several policemen in Dallas.

I wondered if I should be at the conference. Why did podcasting, or any of this really matter right NOW? I should be home with my baby today.

But I stayed. And when I heard Kevin Smith’s keynote, I knew why I needed to be there.

We have a responsibility as entrepreneurs, as humans, to keep creating, and to spark change.

But how do we go on creating and launching and writing, and recording, and marketing, and coaching? How do we go on running our businesses when there are such awful things happening, when we’re drowning in fear, or anxiety, or sadness?

You’re CREATORS by nature as entrepreneurs and business owners. Creating is a pure form of leadership. You and I are called to keep on creating - even in times of pain or destruction.

What do YOU create? Reconnect with WHY you’re here, and then listen into this episode.

In this episode of the Adventure Knocks podcast, we’re talking about how to face the fear, and keep on going and WHY it is so damn important that the creators of the world stick together, and welcome MORE creators into our communities.

Perfectionism makes us feel secure. If we get it just right, if it’s perfect, that’s what matters. Right?

WRONG.

Perfectionism is bad if it stops you from taking action, from getting started, from doing what you need to do to build momentum and income in your business.

In this mini episode, Allison talks about perfectionism, how it’s really not helping you, and what you can do to ACT instead of staying stuck.

P.S. If you’re feeling stuck when it comes to putting yourself out there and shining online you may want this free 3-part training to help you combat your perfectionism and go from invisible to in-demand!

In the latest episode of the Adventure Knocks Podcast, I’m talking about something that holds many people back from going after their dreams, from doing what they love and making money:

FEAR.

It’s sneaky. Maybe it shows up as procrastination for you, or perfectionism, or “always busy syndrome” (a personal specialty for me). Listen in and learn about the most common ways that fear shows up in my entrepreneurial community, and how you can deal with your own demon and grow your business, your income and your impact despite it.
