Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to leap into something new. And since then, I’ve been really thinking about the crazy ideas and dreams that I (too) have put on the back burner for way, way too long. Like writing a book, delivering a TED talk, and getting back to painting large-scale canvases for fun. Why do we stall on the things that matter most to us? Matthew really dives deep into this and how to get unstuck.

Now, if you haven’t heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you’re ready to continue on, let’s pick back up here with my conversation with author Matthew Dicks as he simplifies how to leap into something new.

It’s time to simplify… Here’s how. 

My special guest today is Matthew Dicks and he’s simplifying how to leap into something new.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• Why the word “someday” is his least favorite word in the English language and how you can replace it in your vocabulary
• Instead of asking your 8 year old Inner Child for advice, why you need to ask the 100 year old version of yourself instead - you might be surprised by what you hear!
• He spends nearly the entire first half of his latest book “Someday is Today” on the concept of time - why that is and how to radically adjust your viewpoint on time in order to take the leap into something new
• What the importance is of saying “yes” - especially now, when unexpected opportunities come along - and why that helps boost your radiance
• What the “Spotlight Effect” is and why that might be a roadblock keeping you from trying something new
• …and ultimately, if it’s fear that keeping you from making decisions that propel your creative life forward, how to navigate this as you set your horizon point for where you actually want to be next.

You can do it, I believe in you… it’s time to simplify!

Q: Are you ready to leap into something new in life? If yes, this one is for you.

It’s time to #DoTheThing
