Timeless
I am glad I did cause 99% of what I have achieved was from saying yes and taking risks.

This quote really strikes home for me. Early in my career, I was offered many opportunities big and small. It was always my nature to pounce. I am glad I did cause 99% of what I have achieved was from saying yes and taking risks.

Over the last decade, I’ve been on the offering side of such opportunities. Sadly, what I’ve experienced most, with a few notable exceptions, are recipients saying no to golden opportunities out of fear, doubt and a lack of courage.

I can’t wait to host my first retreat on the two most important ingredients to live your best life - presence to realize your soul’s desires and courage to pursue them.

Key lesson: Pounce on opportunities big and small — fear, doubt, and a lack of courage are what stop most people.

Summary: Reflecting on a career built by saying yes: 99 percent of his achievements came from taking risks others decline out of fear.
