From Dreaming to Doing

“I encounter every lesson in life on purpose.” Those words resonated with me when I first heard them in July at the World Domination Summit in Portland, Oregon. The speaker was Jadah Sellner of Simple Green Smoothies, and she had a story to tell about doing what you love, even if it means making mistakes and starting over. Jadah is what you’d call an entrepreneur in every sense: she’s creative; she’s smart; she understands the importance of community; she’s struggled to make a living doing what she loves; and she’s failed more than once. Jadah always believed in doing...

Change is scary. But, boy, does it remind you of what it feels like to be alive. That feeling of fear and uncertainty in your gut, all mixed up with excitement and hope? That’s it; that’s the one.

But when I first read these words, it felt like a revelation. I was floored by the impact they had on me. It was like someone...

“There are thousands of thousands of people out there, living lives of quiet, screaming desperation, where they work long, hard hours at jobs they hate to enable them to buy things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like.” Those were the words of Nigel Marsh, spoken at a TED Talk he gave in 2010 (see video below).
