Episode 131: How to Try Again (Differently) with Author, Steve Kamb (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when something you really, really wanted doesn't work out? You don't get tenure. The business fails. The career you spent decades building no longer fits. A relationship ends. Or maybe you simply realize that the version of success you've been working toward isn't something you want anymore.

Then she shares a practical framework for building a calendar around the results you actually want: WHO: Who needs your time and attention? WHY: Why do you
Episode 127: The Success Cycle: When to Invest, When to Test, and When to Rest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are you supposed to be hustling right now...or resting? Should you be launching something, learning something, or stepping away for a while? Spend enough time watching other successful people online, and you'll find completely contradictory advice. One person is pulling all-nighters during a massive launch. Someone else is spending the summer at the lake house while their business runs without them. Another successful creator disappears for months, only to emerge with a new book, project, or ide
