Eric is a founding partner and president of The What Now Movement. His mission is to build high performing entrepreneurs, authors, and career professionals, who are prepared for life’s unexpected curve balls. As a coach, podcast host, and author (The Discipline Of Now: 12 Practical Principles To Overcome Procrastination) Eric has spent a lot of time on himself and in working with others to try to figure out how to help people find clarity on their vision and then develop a realistic plan to get there.

We got off to an interesting start as Eric chose "family" as his most important value. As Eric stated, family was not always the most important value. There was a time when achievements, building his business, and grinding was what it was all about. So we spent some time digging into that to understand how/why he shifted to value family more and frankly to understand if he did actually change or just wished he could. How do we ever really know that we are being honest with ourselves about what drives us, what we want out of life, and how we prioritize our time?

Eric had some interesting thoughts on all of this. For him, it is about doing the work to find clarity and confidence in your vision for life. It all has to start with your vision because it is too easy to fall off course if you aren't grounded in a vision you truly believe in. For many people that all makes sense and we've heard it before, but the question is how do you actually do it? How do I overcome my fear, ego, and insecurities to find my vision? How do I have the confidence to know that the vision I think I want is actually the right vision for me? How do I actually change my mindset so that I can go stop self sabotaging myself? A big thanks to Eric for talking through these unbelievably complex questions with me and providing his personal experiences and journey along the way.
