Capacity | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your Life #573
EPISODE SUMMARY:
What if the only thing standing between you and your wildest dreams is your self-imposed limitations? What if, by just stretching your capacity and elevating your goals, you could achieve far more than you ever imagined? This episode is all about understanding the concepts of capacity, time, space, and their intersection in our personal and business realms. I, Austin Linney, share insights from my experiences and from a thought-provoking book titled "10X is easier than 2X", reinforcing the idea that massive growth often comes when we dare to step outside our comfort zones.
We tackle the paradox of tripling our team size and still being just as busy, stirring up the question of business growth and team expansion. We talk about motivation - the invisible force that helps us achieve seemingly impossible tasks. I challenge you, yes you, to aim for a higher goal, to push beyond your boundaries, and to believe in your potential for more. Instead of losing 10 pounds, go for 20. Instead of earning $100K, aim for $250K. It's all about expanding your capacity, and realizing that often, you are far more capable than you give yourself credit for. So tune in, let's grow together and explore the exciting journey of stretching our capacities and aiming for the stars.
