EP 132: What Happens When Everything Starts Going Right? Part 1

I have read so many things, listened to podcasts, about things going wrong, pitfalls, wrong decisions, and so many other things. This is truly necessary to explore. If it's ignored do it at your own peril. But it occurred to me this week, what about if everything goes right?

Rarely, if at all, do you ever hear or read about saying things going right and the challenges that may bring. Success can be just as challenging if not more when you're trying to reach for your dreams. Or better yet when you're there.

You will find plenty of material telling you how to get to the top but very little from what I can tell you on how to stay there. What would that look like? What blind spots do we need to see to stay there? What are you not being told?

We live in a society where negativity reigns. It's the attention getter. It's what gets the bills paid so to speak. It's working for clicks, comments, forward sharing and so much more. I remember the late great Dan Miller had a section in his podcasts where he would speak about the greatest thing he saw mind or even several things. I currently listen to another podcasts were thers's two hosts and they ask each other was the best thing you are this week. It's about positivity, not negativity. But even positivity can bring some negativity in the form of stress, unexpected challenges and so much more.

Success brings its own challenges. It changes the way you can see relationships, the way you see money, opportunities can bring temptations, and so much more. With the sudden inflow of financial freedom your decision-making may get skewed, were completely blown out of proportion. A lot of people say that money changes the way a person is. But that's not true at all. All money does is reveal what was the person's heart hidden all that time. But the better you are prepared for success the better off you will be.

So today's episode I'm going to bring just the opposite. The challenges you will face when things start going right. And how to stay ahead of the curve.
