Ep. 26 [Replay] Purpose, Passion, and Resistance

A repeat performance? That’s right, today’s episode is the first replay I have done in six months since I’ve launched this podcast and there are reasons for the repeat episode: it is the 4th of July and it’s also my birthday. There is also a lot going on in my life and in my business right now. We at Front Seat Life HQ are about to launch one of the most exciting times in our entire year, the Front Seat Life event. 

And we have been diligently working on new, exciting content for you that I have been learning as well. I never do anything that I don’t also ask you to do as an entrepreneur. I always have a coach. I am always learning and learning new tricks to grow my business just as I’m teaching you to grow your business. 

The next eight weeks, all through summer, all of July, all of August and into September are going to be about the success path that I have learned about getting out your message and creating a successful business. 

So, as we go into the next eight weeks, I thought this was the perfect replay episode. I think even if you’ve already listened to it, I would encourage you to listen to it again. And if it’s new for you, I would very much encourage you to listen to this because as we go into summer, there will be resistance as we go into me teaching you about these eight steps and the success path and some of the things that I have just curated over the many years of doing this.  

You’re going to have some resistance. And this episode about your purpose and your passion and resistance is a perfect tee up for where we’re going the next eight weeks.  

I cannot wait to see you in the coming weeks. Enjoy the episode!

Determination, passion, purpose, mindset… and not living five minutes in front of your face. My special guest Mandi Ann and I talk candidly about what it took her to find her ideal path for her journey. A path which delivered so much passion and purpose, she became determined to write her new book and grow her business, despite the resistance which showed up. 

We discuss how this devil (resistance) is always showing up, at every level of your journey… new level, new devil! But, if you can find ways to maintain your determination and focus, you can continue to move forward and upward. 

Revealing some of the common stumbling blocks, we go deep into the importance of setting boundaries to maintain a laser-like focus. Setting boundaries and prioritizing almost becomes easier when you have decided on your path. Mandi says, “I truly do think that when you find that purpose, that passion, you will set those boundaries and you just do anything.” 

And to continue to “do anything” can be really friggin’ hard when that damn devil keeps showing up with another challenge or roadblock. Mandi Ann and I tell some stories about the tough conversations we’ve had while setting boundaries, and I also let out of the bag my secret “dream job.” 

Listen to this golden nugget-filled conversation, take the time and make the moment to get quiet, to settle down, to allow yourself to be open to possibilities. Thanks again for listening, I so appreciate it!
