Ten and a half years.
Hi, I'm Jack Canfield for the Inner circle club@jackcampfield.com and I just finished an amazingly interesting and fun interview with David Wood, who's a world class trainer, has probably trained over 200,000 people around the world, at least 10 countries we talked about earlier and also has this amazing podcast called the Kick Ass Life. And one of the things we talked about in this interview was the principle of going forward. So talk about that for a minute.
Yeah. You know, something I discovered in ten and a half years of backpacking around the world was, you know, things were going to happen. I had to make them happen. So I had to sort of reach out. And then as I started practicing it, I realized every time I stepped into a situation and went first, things would happen, great things would happen. But I'm talking about going first, a smile going first, a hug, you know, going first, an invite going first. So in every moment, I believe the whole world's waiting out. It's a great way for me to think about is everyone's waiting. Everyone's waiting for somebody else to go first. And so I believe that as a leader, my job, in every moment, in every day, I have an opportunity to go first and be first. And what I found is every time I do, every time I bridge that gap, every time I go first, incredible things happen.
So if you'd like to hear the entire interview, and that was just one concept, which we unpacked a lot deeper, like you to come to jackcampfield.com, join the inner Circle Club and watch the entire interview. And as a result of that, you can start going first in your life and create the kick ass life that you've created and that we all aspire to, but very few of us have the courage to actually do. So if you want that inspiration, motivation, and the information for how to do that, come to the Inner circle club@jackgampfield.com we look forward to seeing you there.
