Episode notes
Post-Exit Idea That Faded
- Derek describes launching a new company idea immediately after selling CD Baby but stopping after three months when he realized life wouldn't change.
- A friend's remark that actions reveal values made him reflect and admit he didn't truly want that service-heavy business.
Actions Reveal True Priorities
- Actions reveal your true values: saying you want something but never doing it indicates it's not a real priority.
- A good goal must change your present actions, otherwise it's merely a pleasant daydream.
Test Wants By Acting Now
- Either stop lying to yourself and admit your real priorities or actually start doing what you claim you want to do.
- Test desire by taking immediate action to see if the goal truly matters.
