Five Badass Q&As
Q1: Why do you think people succumb to mediocrity?
A1: Standing out feels dangerous and exposing. It feels naked and unsafe, which is why many avoid it. You need to realize that attention is beneficial and that discouraging comments are more about the person saying them before you know that they are more about the person saying them.
Q2: How do you define mediocrity?
A2: Mediocrity is being at point X when you could be at point Y and not progressing towards it. It’s about not moving towards your potential.
Q3: What was it like to recognize something was missing despite achieving success?
A3: I felt unfulfilled despite having a beautiful life. I realized I needed to play a bigger game for my abilities. It was about understanding my core values and aligning everything with them.
Q4: How do you manage the uncertainty of entrepreneurship?
A4: I see uncertainty as a part of life and an exciting element. It’s like a winding road full of variety. Embracing uncertainty helps me stay excited and take action to ensure things work out.
Q5: What message do you have for someone struggling to achieve more?
A5: Understand who you are and identify your core values and mission. Stop identifying with what you do and use your job or profession as a vehicle to achieve your mission. Be the best version of yourself and see how far you can take it.
