If you keep turning up, you wont fail - provided you learn from past mistakes.

It is important to remember that every successful person kept turning up. They just kept going, pushed though, put in the work. They started from the same place as all of us. They had many reasons not to put in the work. Yet they did.

They took advantage of their natural attributes and upbringings of course, but they worked. If they can do it so can I - and so can you!

You have done the impossible, but it just doesn’t feel that special because it is a thing of the past. You have grown since then. The person that found it ‘impossible’ no longer exists. Thus it is increasingly easy to discount those accomplishments.

Try to remember how hard it was, and despite that difficulty, you persisted and succeeded any way.

Realise that this will happen again. What you think of as impossible, will (with time and effort) be overcome, and it too will become easy.

Effective weightless involves a process that is both sustainable and able to be integrated gradually into your life.

Weekends don’t exist, at least not for those who want to make a change in the world or for those with a dream.

If you have a passion project, a business that you are building up, or a dream that you want to follow, you need all the time you can possibly get your hands on.

Unless you have persistence, constancy and discipline, the chances of your dreams eventuating into reality fall to almost zero.

It takes time to learn the lessons, develop a practice and hone the skills necessary for success in any area.

In this episode I share my journey both in my writing and personal life - where I have come from, to where I am now, to where I want to be - focusing on what it takes to see real results.

Today I am joined by Fred Saleeba. He shares the his journey of escaping the monotony of regular life, into one of vagabonding - travelling the world for the sake of travel, no destination, no base, just for the experience.

This interview gets quite personal with Fred discussing issues with (and how he is working on) self confidence and forming new relationships.

QOTD: How do you practice self care?

Finding the balance between work and relaxation is vital for both mental health and productivity. Work too much, and you run the risk of becoming run down. Relax too much and your dreams will forever stay as dreams. 

In this episode I discuss my continuing journey to finding a balance between these two aspects of life. 

In this episode, Zac discusses why people get trapped working in a job that they don't like and suggests ways that they can change into a career that they actually enjoy and look forward to performing.

"Counting time until retirement is not for me" ...

It will never feel like a good time to follow your dreams ... There will always be barriers, blocks and reasons not to. But if you don't do it now, when will you?

So choose them wisely.

Zachary discusses the concept of turning up to achieve success. If you want to accomplish something amazing, you first need to turn up and put the work in. Remember, the world owes you nothing, only you can shape your future.
