What if the only thing stopping you isn't timing, but your own belief about timing?
Lee recently got back into freelance writing after years away from it. Within days of putting the word out, two publications came knocking. But it made her wonder: why do so many people in his industry say there's no work, when doors are opening for her right now?
In this episode, Richard and Lee revisit a kitchen conversation that sparked something bigger. They explore the story of a woman who opened a coffee shop in New York by doing something completely different: a yearly membership model that secured her customers, her rent, and her utilities before she even opened the doors. And they connect that to the larger truth they keep bumping up against in their own businesses. It's never the right time to launch anything. There are always economic headwinds, industry challenges, and reasons to wait. But creativity and action don't care about timing.
They talk about the gap between saying you want something and actually doing it. About the difference between hard work that feels like a battle and hard work that flows. And about a simple test Richard uses to know if he's on the right track...
If you enjoy it, they'd love to hear from you!
