The Successful Mind Podcast Need vs. Desire: The Energy That Creates Growth
The battle between need vs desire decides whether you expand or stay stuck. I’ve lived both—and I can tell you, desire carries the creative power that need never will. Need is fear-based. It pushes you just far enough to survive. Desire, though, pulls you into your future with energy and purpose.
Understanding the Energy Behind Need vs Desire
Need comes from safety and certainty—the illusion of control. Desire begins as fantasy but becomes a magnificent obsession. When you feed it daily, it fuels the action that brings growth.
Breaking the Safety Illusion
Most people cling to safety. But as I always say, if you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much room. Growth requires risk. Every step forward brings some chaos—but that’s the cost of expansion.
Feed Desire, Not Fear
You have to nourish your vision—keep it free of negative people and thoughts. In business, that means selling, serving, and staying inspired by what’s next. When you live by need vs desire, choose desire. Every time.
You are successful on paper…
but why doesn’t it feel like freedom?
In February, I’m bringing together a group of driven entrepreneurs for a 2-day business intensive where we strip away the fear, resistance, and patterns that quietly cap your growth, and get you clear on your next breakthrough.
Together, we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back, claim the freedom you’ve been chasing, and walk away with the clarity and courage to lead your business — and your life — on your terms.
And because business growth isn’t just about mindset, Steph Tuss is teaching a special marketing session on the latest business-building tactics that are working now. She’ll also answer your most pressing marketing questions.
