A Routine trip to Dunkin Donuts left me shocked and furious—a seemingly mundane Dunkin' drive thru visit turned into a chaotic encounter with poor customer service sparking a profanity fueled freakout leading to assaulat with a deadly coffee! HaHa
In this latest episode of Share the Struggle, we dive deep into the concept of courage and how it's shaping my journey for 2025. Inspired by our past conversation about guiding words, it serves as a reminder of how pivotal it is to live boldly and authentically. The episode starts with a reflection on last week's guiding word exercise, emphasizing that while many people set goals, few focus on the emotional and intentional aspects of these words. It’s a philosophical approach to growth that resonates deeply, especially as we step into a new year.
As we set goals for 2025, I urge listeners to reflect on a guiding word that embodies their aspirations. Mine, as I’ve shared, is courage. I discuss what courage means to me, how it connects deeply with my commitments in both personal and business dealings, and why it's important to convey this in my journey as a business owner. The courage to embrace new opportunities, like committing to attend Daytona Bike Week for my brand, Loud Proud American, represents a major leap for me. It’s a tangible example of embracing fear and uncertainty while maintaining focus on my core values—something I encourage everyone to do.
Throughout this episode, I share practical steps to cultivate courage in your life. Understanding that mistakes will happen is crucial; they’re not a reflection of failure but rather an integral part of the learning process. The pursuit of courage involves stepping out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself—whether that’s tackling networking events, exploring new markets for your business, or having those tough conversations that often lead to deeper bonds with others.
I emphasize the importance of community in this journey. Shared struggles bring us together and make us stronger, reinforcing the idea that we are all on this path together. Therefore, I invite my listeners to engage, share their guiding words, and participate in a dialogue that can lead to collective courage and strength. We are on the brink of an incredible year ahead, and together, we can face whatever challenges life may throw our way.
In conclusion, I appreciate you tuning in and sharing in this journey of self-discovery and growth. Remember, if there's one takeaway from this episode, it’s that true courage is rooted in heart and the ongoing commitment to fight through the struggles that life presents. Here’s to a year of courageous living!
