*Replay* Alex Judd - A Path For Growth

While we prepare for Season 13 of the podcast, we're taking a break from our Fire Time Magazine Rapid Reaction series to reply a conversation that Tim had with Alex Judd, CEO of Path for Growth.Here are the original show notes:Many businesses today exist for themselves when in reality they need to be operating for the sake of others. In today's episode, we examine the major benefits of what happens when you begin using your strengths not for yourself, but rather for service.  A weekly Zoom Call Community focusing on generosity, gratitude, and growth was a silly thought Alex Judd had one night when the effects of COVID-19 were just starting to be visible in the day to day. We sat down with Alex (the former host of Dave Ramsey's Entreleadership Podcast) to discuss how much this 'silly' idea has swiftly turned into his new business.In this episode, you will gain value in the form of:  Learning how strength is ultimately for service (and how this core value can drastically improve your life) Understanding how your habits are a crystal ball to your future self (and how to to change that if you don't like what you see) Destroying the lie that walking around with a big to-do list is a badge of honor (it's actually crippling your potential) Don't continue living the life you weren't meant to live. Learn to work on your internal strength, and then use it to serve others today! Watch the full-length uncut video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/g6qw-gH88hs--------Become a supporter of The Fire Time Network and get access to awesome rewards: https://itsfiretime.com/joinTo hear more audio articles from our magazine, subscribe to the Fire Time Magazine Podcast: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine.

Why you are the only thing holding yourself back from success (and how accountability is the secret sauce to move you out of your own way). Why speed is essential to succeeding in the modern business world (and how to find the perfect relationship between speed and quality). Don’t let your business be a unicycle that only you, the owner, are riding. Instead, build a business with multiple wheels and people in control so it’s less vulnerable to unexpected obstacles.
