Episode #916 - August 04, 2023

Questions:

My real question: "Is it too late for me?" I'm 57, followed everything 48Days for years, developed some incredible ideas, started blogs, and been to every webinar and Zoom Mtg that's been offered, but...I've never followed through, feeling somehow, I'm just not worthy of this.

Age shouldn't hold us back from pursuing our passions. No matter your age, you have the power to create the work and life you love.

Key Takeaways:

1. It's never too late to pursue your dreams and find work you love. Age should not be a barrier to making new decisions and taking action.

2. Always make your future bigger than your past. Don't let your age or past experiences limit your vision for what is possible in your career and life.

3. Numerous examples of individuals who achieved success later in life, such as Colonel Harland Sanders, remind us that age should not deter us from pursuing our dreams.

4. Overcoming fear and taking action is crucial in creating a better future for ourselves. Don't let fear hold you back from pursuing your passions and finding work you love.
