Age Has No Limit Podcast

Imagine running your business from a villa in St. Lucia, wine country in Germany, a vibrant city in Spain, a beach town in Mexico, or a resort in Jamaica. That’s what I was able to do for the past three years as a business owner.

At the top of many of the lists about why people choose to become entrepreneurs is the ability to pursue a passion. My passion is travel, culturally immersive travel.

As the owner of a consulting firm, I’ve been intentional about integrating my passion into my entrepreneurial journey.

During this episode, I’ll share a bit about how I ran my business from Spain, St. Lucia, Germany, Portugal, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.

Let’s talk about pushing past the fear of change.

I’m talking about the changes that you know will lead to an improvement (or several) in your life but you’re afraid to act because of what you think you’ll lose, or because of perfectionism, or because you’ve convinced yourself that what others think is more important than your progress.

To make the changes in our lives that are necessary to live life on our own terms, start a business, pursue a passion, get the love and intimacy we deserve—and be willing to give it back, we have to be willing to change.

During this episode, we’ll have a conversation about what’s behind the fear, ways to overcome it, and do “it” anyway. I’ll also share how I push past feelings of fear and anxiety and why you can learn to change your thoughts and push past the fear.
