A lot of people end their workday wondering why some tasks take forever, why they procrastinate on certain projects, or why they just don't feel confident in the work they're doing. But here's the thing, that's not a character flaw, it's wiring. Patrick Lencioni, author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, created the Working Genius Assessment to help you identify the type of work you are actually built for and the work that you're not. And there's zero shame in that. More than a million people have taken it, and once you understand how you're wired, everything changes. Your confidence, your productivity, and the way you show up at work. If you're a CEO, an entrepreneur, or just someone who wants to operate at your highest level, Working Genius gives you the clarity to stop wasting time on the things that drain you and double down on what you are naturally good at. It's not about fixing weaknesses, it's about leveraging strengths. Take the Working Genius assessment and get 20% off with code EARN at workinggenius.com. That's workinggenius.com. Stop guessing, start working in your genius.
You are not going to change your life unless you drastically change your relationship with feedback, with data, with failing, with being audacious, with being bold, with being courageous. You have to make these moves. And if no one is telling you this, they don't care. They like that you're staying small. They like that you're staying silent. It lets them stay small as well. Hey everyone, welcome back to the show.
It's time for another quickie because there's always time to fit in inspiration.
And I literally just got done with my Audacity Challenge call. It's a free call, 45 minutes long, turned into 90 minutes only if you want to stay on. The first 45 is really all you need. But it was fucking electric. Like, I think it was from the common intention of every single person ready to let go of what script is holding them back. And let me tell you, we cried, we laughed, we connected, we made audacious goals, we set them in stone, and we're doing them this week. But Some of the highlights that I want to share with you are really about the fact that audacity cannot exist without grace for yourself, and audacity can't exist with judgment. So if you think of all of the different times in your life that you have judged another person or judged another woman, that is the exact cage that you are putting yourself in. So whatever thoughts you are thinking about someone, was the exact place that you were holding yourself back. So if you are getting offended, it is for you. And that's what someone on the call said. They said, one of my biggest takeaways from this call is that if I'm offended, if I'm triggered, it's absolutely happening for me so I can free myself. Because if I free them and let it be okay and say, that's okay, you do you, boo-boo, then you are freeing yourself with every single time you let someone else off the hook for a judgment that you were placing on them. So again, you guys know that I'm on one with this Audacity Challenge, and honestly, I don't think there was anything better for me right now than being on that call with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of you. And I will tell you that thousands of you have signed up for this challenge, which means we are hitting a vein with the fact that we are so done worrying about what people think and having fear of judgment and having fear of being canceled when we should already have the realization that we have canceled ourselves already, and we are in worst-case scenario. And if you are not living authentically, if you are not living out your dreams, you have already canceled your life. You have completely canceled yourself. And the people who are out there doing the big things are not better than you. They're not more worthy than you. They don't have a better story than you.
They're not better.
They are just bolder. And you guys, there's a fear epidemic happening, and the people who can get through the fear and realize that every comment that is negative is for you. The faster we can get over the negative comment, the faster we can get over the fear, the faster we can collect nos, the faster we can get rejected, the faster you're going to be successful and experience yourself. And I said on the call, I asked how many people, you know, believe in God or a higher power. I'm pretty sure it was unanimous. And every single person that I could see on my screen of the hundreds and hundreds of people, you guys, that I was scrolling through quickly, raise their hands, and I asked, why aren't we living like God or your higher power has your back then? Why are we giving every single ounce of power to a fucking troll on the internet? Why are you acting like that troll or that hater or that family member or that person is bigger than God? Why are we living that way? Why do we believe that we can be taken down by a human? Why don't we have the faith in something higher than us? Why don't we realize that these, you know, gut feelings or these callings or, you know, these visions that we have about our life or these ideas that we have on our life, why don't we truly believe that this was meant for us or that they're even future memories, right? Like that they are actually memories from the future happening now. Like, why wouldn't we believe that we came here to be something? And if you say things like, oh, God has a purpose for your life and you have a call on your life, act like it. Act like it. Because at the end of your life, you're gonna have to either be okay with having massive regrets and telling people, you know, I let a few internet trolls win. Oh, I let my sister who didn't believe in me win. Oh, I let this person from high school, an ex-high school boyfriend who cheated on me— I decided to believe that I wasn't worthy because he cheated on me. And, you know, I realize now that it was his problem, but I kind of just, you know, didn't deal with it and let them win, and I canceled out my own life because of it. Who are you giving your power to? Who are you giving your power to? Who are you letting decide that that bold, courageous move is actually rude or selfish? Who is translating what you do. Who is translating? The only person in that scenario who can have a different outcome on your life is you. Stop giving your power away. Stop blaming, stop complaining, stop justifying. Start taking audacious, bold, courageous action and decide that you did it with love and intentionality. And it's okay if you get rejected. It's okay if people say no. In fact, if you're not doing something audacious every single day, and that can be as as small as sending an email to someone for an ask, as small as saying, hey, try my product, I think it's the best, I would love to send some to you. If you are not doing that, you're not doing shit for your life and you're not moving the needle. So stop fooling yourself into thinking that one action a month is gonna change something and being butthurt and upset that your life isn't changing because of your one tiny little action and then getting upset over it and getting hurt by some AI bot that's not even a real person who's saying something mean to you. You are not going to change your life unless you drastically change your relationship with feedback, with data, with failing, with being audacious, with being bold, with being courageous. You have to make these moves. And if no one is telling you this, they don't care. They like that you're staying small. They like that you're staying silent. It lets them stay small as well. You need a new fucking friend group. If you don't have people saying, hey, I see you're really not doing the things that you said that you wanted to do. I see that you're anxious. I see that you're depressed, and it's probably because you're not living into the woman that you came here to be. You guys, you need some new friends who hold you accountable. This is what I have in my life. And if you're intimidated by those friend groups, good, you should be, because it takes a lot to be incredibly great friends with people who hold you to a high standard. It's scary. It's next level. It doesn't happen overnight. But if you want to come and find some friends who believe the same exact things, you should absolutely join this challenge, which the link is below. We have 3 calls left.

But I will say, you guys have the opportunity right now to start taking bold action every day, and it can start with this challenge. So I'm grateful for you, and I'm sending you all of the love.
