Get Real about Success
The show is about fear and how paralyzing it can be for anyone. It is particularly an enemy of entrepreneurs because it takes guts to start your own business. Inner voices will tell you all the ways you can fail. Even some of your friends or family might tell you that. You’ve got to determine if the joy in gain is greater than your fear of loss and move on.
Ron Phillips and Angela Thomas talk about all the advice that’s out there and how to tell the good from the bad. Some bad advice has a kernel of truth, and a lot of seemingly good advice can pull you away from doing what you do best. The most stellar move you can make is to find a local mentor who you respect and learn by working with/for him or her.
Ron Phillips and Angela Thomas first talk about why they do the podcast, which is interesting stuff. Then they discuss the types of freedom that come from success, which are the same types of freedom that drive people to pursue success. Ron and Angela agree that the 3 freedoms are (1) freedom to be yourself, (2) freedom to provide for your family and friends and (3) freedom to impact the world/your community.
