Hand In The Sand Mentality Leads To Increased Fulfillment
In this episode, I share how being on a cruise ship has given me the space to focus on writing my book, Becoming Boss Minded. Surrounded by other marketers, I’ve been reminded how easy it is to feel pressured to do everything people suggest for success. Instead, I reflect on a lesson from my mentor called "hand in the sand," which is about focusing on a few key priorities and letting go of the rest.
I discuss how taking on too many goals, especially ones that don’t align with your values, leads to burnout and failure. By narrowing your focus and saying no to distractions, you can be more productive and at peace. I’ve embraced this mindset to avoid FOMO and stay on track, and I encourage listeners to do the same by prioritizing what truly matters to them.
