Sometimes you’ve been burned and don’t know who you can trust. You’re definitely...

Amplify Your Success
What if you could have more premium sales calls - without feeling pushy or salesy? Many service professionals struggle with enrolling clients because their sales conversations lack the necessary elements to guide a prospect to a confident yes (without using emotional manipulation, scarcity and hard selling techniques). The typical roadblock is not having a systemized approach that nurtures the lead, builds rapport, and informs the potential client why you are the only choice, before they ever get to your appointment. Without this process in place, sales calls can feel awkward, and...
info_outlineThere is a unique conundrum that many highly ambitious and driven people experience in their pursuit of bigger goals: there is always a “next level” of success to pursue. But if you find yourself constantly moving the goalposts in life, never truly reaching a sense of satisfaction despite your achievements, then you might be trapped in a “should life.”
When our actions are dictated by societal norms, cultural expectations, and inherited rules, leaving us overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, and unfulfilled, it’s worth pausing to reflect if this is the life you want, or you feel you must accept to avoid blowing up what’s important to you.
In episode 426 of Amplify Your Success, I’m joined by Marni Battista to explore practical ways to break free from the suffocating "should life" and start embracing a more meaningful and authentic existence. Marni tackles this pressing issue by urging us to dismantle these invisible barriers and instead live a life that truly energizes us by blowing our hair back. She explains how identifying small, actionable changes, like recognizing one's self-worth and challenging ingrained beliefs, can lead to profound life transformations without completely overhauling your current situation.
Tune in to discover her seven-question framework from her new book, "Your Radical Living Challenge," guiding listeners on how to experiment with life design. By redefining success and focusing on creating and testing new opportunities, listeners can reclaim their power and transform their present into the dream life they desire.
