Inspired by David Goggins' book "Never Finished," I want to remind you to get uncomfortable and endure the daily challenges to reach your financial goals. To achieve this, I challenge you to go beyond the 5% or 10% of your standard discomfort level and strive for 100%. This requires bold moves, consistent action, and living unapologetically. Successful entrepreneurs invest the majority of their assets in risky ventures and repeatedly step out of their comfort zones because that's where true happiness and fulfillment lie. I encourage you to embrace discomfort, challenge yourself, and ambitiously pursue your financial dreams. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: - Advice for challenging the status quo of financial success - The importance of going all-in - My personal experiences with embracing discomfort - How to achieve true happiness and fulfillment from being uncomfortable RESOURCES - Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort to Reclaim Your Wild, Healthy, Happy Self - Never Finished : Unshackle Your Mind And Win The War Within - Text ROUNDTABLE to 310-421-0416 to get information on our next roundtable event CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow me: @chriswharder Visit my website: chrisharder.me Learn more about frello, my peer-to-peer lending app: frelloapp.com Follow frello: @frello_app
