Do you believe you must suffer to succeed?
That’s what I used to believe.
But was this really my belief?
Or did I inherit this belief from my parents?
Who inherited it from their parents?
Who grew up in poverty during the Great Depression?
Which I then further reinforced by all of the hustle p-rn I consumed as an entrepreneur in the early days of social media? Like binge-watching Gary V videos.
You’re not alone if you believe you must suffer to succeed.
Chris Walker believed he had to suffer to succeed.
Fresh off a month-long trip to Tulum, Australia, and Fiji, Chris brought a new kind of clarity to this Level Up Business Podcast.
The reason you feel stuck.
You can learn and gain new perspectives to see things differently.
Books.
Videos.
Podcasts.
Newsletters.
Events.
Learning opportunities are abundant.
And when you see things differently, you begin to think about things differently.
This is where most people get stuck.
And this is where you can level up.
Just because you see and think about things differently does not mean you will do, be, or act differently than before.
Feeling is the secret to human transformation and unlocking your next level up.
This is because feeling… emotion… is simply energy in motion.
And your emotional energy is either increasing or decreasing.
Think about how many times you’ve wanted to share the:
Video you've recorded 3 times, but never hit "publish."
LinkedIn article that is ready to go, but you never hit "post"
Podcast you think about launching, but doubt anyone will listen.
Book you’ve been carrying inside you, but never find the time to write.
Keynote that will transform lives, but you're scared to step on stage and speak.
Everything you need to level up is already inside you.
Even though you have all the knowledge you need, you don’t take action.
Instead, you choose to stay stuck and distract yourself with:
Doom scrolling
Netflix binging
Comparing yourself
Eating junk food
Alchohol
Watching p-rn
This is why you:
Keep doing what you’ve always done.
Feeling how you’ve always felt.
Thinking how you’ve always thought.
Believing what you’ve always believed.
Is it time for you to start writing a new story?
Have you forgotten you are the author of your life?
Because if you’re not writing your own story, someone else is writing it for you.
Here’s the good news…
Your humanity is your advantage.
Your authentic intelligence is your greatest asset.
And you’re just one question away from your next level up.
