10. Ben Rector Answers my Question...Fun, Free, Success, and a Beach?

There are plenty of questions that people ask themselves before they take the leap and start doing what they love. How do I find my voice? How do I know if this is something I am good at? What if it doesn't work out? Trusting the process requires you to be in a 'flow state' and have an abundance mentality. This means being open with your limitations and acknowledging that, yes, you will fail, but you need to allow yourself to fail so that you can learn from it.   Join the conversation with your host Michael Gebben as I share the secret keys to finding your passion. Doing what we love helps us live a better life in various ways. It makes us feel more alive and connected. It gives us more energy and motivation throughout our day-to-day activities, and it adds meaning to our relationships by giving them the sparkle of newness and excitement every time we meet up with someone new or start something new together.   Tune in!
