Everyone gets stuck
sometimes. Our fear holds us back and we wait until it feels safe,
or we are less confused about tactics and strategy.
The thing is if you’re waiting until it’s safe then it probably is.
Most of what inspires us didn’t come from a place of safety.
You have amazing ideas that will make a difference to the world, but sometimes you just don’t know where to start.
This workbook is designed to make a difference to you, to take you beyond abstract ideas and that buzz in your brain; to
give you clarity and drive momentum.
Sometimes it’s easier to sit and wait for just the right time to execute, to see if it’s safe.
Don’t wait to feel safe. Go be audacious!
