Lewis Howes talks with Price Pritchett about recognizing when you need a major life change and how to make quantum leaps in growth. Pritchett explains what signals it's time to shift and how to actually follow through.
So if people are looking to make more money, make a bigger impact and work with more influential people in their life or people that are more disciplined and up to a bigger game, which is what it sounds like that you wanted to do early in your career. You wanted to make more money, you wanted to make a bigger impact, a bigger difference and you wanted to work with the leaders. What was it inside of you that said, okay, I'm going to make this quantum leap? What was that deciding moment that said I'm going to try something unconventional and completely changed the course of my life?
Boredom.
Boredom.
Boredom and, and just lack of purpose. Hunger and hungry. I was hungry for, for scaling up. I mean really a major scaling up. I thought that we were, we weren't making any mistakes.
You weren't failing enough.
We weren't. I mean we were on autopilot. I mean the place, it ran too smoothly and it began to just bore me and I got disgusted.
Why do people get so comfortable?
Why did they get so comfortable?
Yeah, when they used to have quantum leaps, you know, from not from crawling to walking to running to. And then it's just kind of sitting.
People are so different. I mean they're so alike too, but they're so different. And some people just have a much higher need for achievement. Some people have much higher energy level and some, you know, on and on.
And on the human needs might be different.
They're just different.
Some people want growth, some people want achievement, some people want contribution.
Some people want to a job that.
They want to nurture.
Other people. I got a PhD in psychology. I did a year long clinical internship. I worked on a psychiatric ward. And I knew from the word go that that was not where I would end up. It just. But you got people, they're drawn to that. And that's the wonderful thing about the world. But I don't care what direction a person is drawn, they can make quantum leaps in that, in that zone, whatever their strike zone is. But I don't really spend a lot of time, I guess, trying to talk people into making a quantum leap. Unless they have something inside just. They've got to want it gnawing at them.
They got to be hungry, they got to be, you know, anxious about something changing. They're going to want to change.
They do.
