Summary

Hey everyone. I wanted to jump in quickly let you know about the release of the audio version of my book, The Entrepreneur Ethos, narrated by David A. Conatser. If you want to support the show, you can buy it wherever audiobooks are sold. Links are also in the show notes. 

Now on to my guest for today, Eric Twiggs, a speaker, coach, and author of the book The Discipline of Now: 12 Practical Principles To Overcome Procrastination. 

Eric first realized he needed to find his purpose and stop wasting time after a college friend died in a car accident. After becoming successful in his career, he had another epiphany: he wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. So he became a speaker and author, inspiring people to make change in their own lives. 

In April, he and three partners started the What Now Movement, a platform on Facebook to empower people to pivot in response to the pandemic. 

When it comes to procrastination, Eric offers a three-part framework in his book, The Discipline of Now: what’s the cost, what’s the cause, and what’s the cure?  Eric also shared many insights into what it takes to be a successful speaker, from being prepared and showing up early to get to know people before the talk, to never ending on a Q and A session. Cultivating a positive mindset by reframing thoughts, counting wins, and learning from failures are three principles Eric espouses and lives by. 

Now let’s get better together.
