How do we access our full potential? In this episode, Kathryn and her guest, expert life hacker Torian Richardson, explore how to hack your way to reaching your full potential- addressing setbacks, failures, and doubts head-on. Learn how to deal with the fear of permitting yourself to live the life you want to live and how to cultivate resilience in your own life.
“I can't give what I don't have, right? So, I can't give time if I don't have it. I can't give resources or money or love if I don't have those things for myself.”
You can’t serve your family or community if you have nothing left for yourself. You need to be able to put on your own oxygen mask before you can help others. One way to do that is to set intentional boundaries around how much you can give and to recognize that you don’t have to say yes to every request. No is a complete sentence, and it’s crucial to be able to say it without feeling the need to apologize or explain.
“As entrepreneurs, we talk a lot about business success and structure, and that's all pretty clear. But the most successful entrepreneurs I know in life, not just in business, are those who do the healing work internally… and really understand the cost of success.”
One of Torian’s biggest strategies for resilience is cultivating self-awareness. You have to really understand your strengths and weaknesses and areas where you may need to ask for help. Self-awareness also means understanding your values and where to place your loyalty and commitment.
