Welcome to a Live Coaching session with Chris Goodman. Today, you’ll be hearing from Dustin Elliott, a men’s coach and real estate investor and developer based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In this episode, Dustin shares what he is celebrating this week and elaborates on his desire to help others and fine-tune his coaching avatar during the course of this call. Tuning in, you’ll find out what is driving Dustin’s need to niche down and why I don’t believe that is really what his journey is about. It is about the very same things it is about for everybody else, the pursuit of certainty, contribution, service, and a purpose in life, and especially feeling validated that you’re on the right path! We work through how uncertainty prompts this search for external validation, and how Dustin can embody the confident, excited version of himself on a daily basis. When he knows that he is needed, he shows up, and that is a very important part of this session. These coaching calls aren’t always cut and dried but, ultimately, Dustin has a breakthrough and knows exactly what he needs to do: he doesn’t actually want to niche down and, when he believes that he is needed, it fosters confidence, and that confidence manifests in immediate and massive action. Tune in today to discover the power of believing in yourself and taking consistent action!
