If you want to attract more people and opportunities into your life and business, then it’s time to raise your frequency!

I just got back from the guys trip I take every year and I almost didn’t go. Why is it that we resist doing things we know we need or are going to enjoy? Like getting a great workout in at the gym, taking the trip, or showing up at the mastermind you invested in. Lori and I both share examples of times we've felt this way but always end up glad we pushed through it. We also share the exercise to play the potential experience out to the end in your mind and look for past examples of how great it turned out, so you can tell the difference between what’s meant for you and will be so fulfilling when you put in a little effort. Don't let that resistance rob you of opportunities for growth, fun, and connection!  HIGHLIGHTS 00:30 100 reasons why I thought about canceling my guy's trip, and what happened when I went. 02:45 Why you can’t always believe your brain, especially when it’s trying to keep you comfortable. 04:30 How to get accelerated growth and build momentum when you’re in busy seasons. 06:00 Don’t forget to remind yourself of what you’ll gain when you follow through.

When I took my first ski trip, I found myself stuck and stranded at the top of the mountain. But instead of retreating or hiking down, I decided to strap up and take the journey down the hill (even though it was terrifying at that moment!). Today, I urge you to take action even if you're scared and face every challenge head-on rather than giving in to defeat. If you're facing a daunting snowy hill in your life or business, consider this episode a wake-up call to embrace the challenge and make those uncomfortable choices. Remember, on the other side of fear lies the thrill of victory!    IN THIS EPISODE: - How I skied down a black diamond mountain with little experience  - Tips for embracing the unknown and tackling the unexpected with complete courage  - Why overcoming the toughest challenges is often the best part of life  - Trusting yourself to make the right decisions    RESOURCES - Text DINNER to 310-421-0416 for more information about our Dinner Series!   CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow me: @chriswharder Visit my website: chrisharder.me  Learn more about frello, my peer-to-peer lending app: frelloapp.com  Follow frello: @frello_app
