The Self-Employed Life 975: Cara Moeller Poppitt - Making a Big Freakin’ Change
In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Cara Poppitt, author of Big Freakin’ Change: How to Gain Confidence by Stepping Out Before You Are Ready, about the process of implementing change. Cara explains that courage is the starting point, with confidence following later, and encourages listeners to embrace change rather than resist it. We discussed the barriers that hold people back, the differences between courage and confidence, and eight essential steps to help individuals break free from stagnation and move forward. This episode offers valuable insights and practical steps to anyone who is feeling stuck to help them embrace change.
