Kate's Take

It's no wonder so many of us start something - a blog, a website, a podcast - and then grow incredibly impatient wondering where our momentum is. Physics teaches us that momentum is just that: a mass in motion. Nevermind how it got started in the first place, or why the velocity might be stronger in some cases versus others. What physics never taught us about momentum is all the work that comes before the motion: the force. In this episode, I talk about that force and how you can create it.

In this episode I chat about my experience on a recent workcation where I had the opportunity to mastermind with 3 amazing entrepreneurs: John Lee Dumas, and Jill and Josh Stanton of Screw The Nine to Five. During our mastermind session, we did hot seat rotations, which really led me to discovering something powerful: a focus.

As entrepreneurs, we deal with doubt A LOT. Trouble is, doubt is the exact thing that holds us back; it prevents us from taking that next step forward. It steals our confidence and kidnaps our hope. Given this knowledge, how can we squash doubt in order to help propel ourselves forward? I talk about how in this episode.

It's tough not to jump ahead. Of course we want to know what the end result of our actions will be, but when we focus our attention on the future, we lose focus of the things we're doing right now.

Being an entrepreneur shouldn't be about making a quick buck.

Are you really willing to give up your dreams - your passions, your freedom, your time - because you're afraid that now is "not the right time"? There is no such thing as the right time. Every entrepreneur who has achieved success has done so by believing they could do something, and knowing that in order to get moving in the right direction, they'd have to just start.
