This decision saved me 10,500 hours of my life 😳

I don't need to tell you that being here + human has reached a new level of chaos these days. 

I find myself getting lost in the swirl of scrolling and differing opinions on every topic there is to have an opinion on and chasing my own tail when I try to find the "right" answer to solve these monumental issues.

In deep conversation with family and friends we always seem to come back around to a giant question mark of uncertainty.

And if I know anything about you, I am certain you are likely feeling the same way.

We're worried about each other.

We're worried about our kids.

We're worried about what the heck we're going to do in the fall. 

And we're worried about how we're going to get from here to November at the rate we seem to be pacing.

It's no secret that the way things have been cannot BE any longer.

But what do we do?

I have always been fascinated with the idea of innovating the old ways of existing to elevate and disrupt the parts of my life that are feeling stuck and outdated.

As a leader, coach and teacher, my work has been about helping my clients and students create new models - in their businesses and in their ways of thinking about the possibilities for their lives.

The 30,000 foot view is my favorite place to hang out and from this vantage point things appear vastly different then when we're down on the ground floor.

6 years ago, I walked away from my job in collegiate athletics for my calling, myself and my family.

I did some calculations over the weekend and realized that this decision resulted in a $1.8M pay raise!

It also resulted in saving 10,500 hours of my life(!!).

These numbers are staggering!!!

And while I had no concept of the true capacity for what could happen when I handed in my resignation, I knew the decision to listen to myself and honor my instincts was the right one.

If I have learned anything over the intensive work I have done with clients over the last 6 years, it's that trusting your intuition and being guided by what brings you the utmost fulfillment (even when it's scary!) is a winning choice.

I believe that so many of our systems and structures are crumbling and falling away because they are no longer serving us as a species.

The notion that working for "the man" is the only way to earn a living is rapidly evolving. 

Leaving our babes to go pursue a career when our hearts are breaking over it is a mistake.

There is a different way  and those who are courageous enough to DISRUPTIVATE the current model to design a new way of living, earning and being are the ones who win in life and business. 

Those who are willing to question what's broken to build something better are the ones that change the world.
