We may think that we know what we want our lives to look like, but are we simply chasing other people’s success or actually following our own bliss? Although this may sound like a simple question to find the answer takes some serious effort. Today’s guest, Rob Murgatroyd, has not only put in the work to find true fulfillment, but he has helped countless others do the same. Along with being a coach, he is also considered the ultimate authority on “regret management,” and is a top 200 iTunes Podcaster with his hit show, Work Hard Play Hard. In this episode, we dive into what it means to be truly content and how your thoughts create your reality. Having grown up in an abusive, alcoholic household, Rob chose to use this to propel his life forward rather than holding him back. Although it took him some time to ultimately get to where he wanted to be, he is the embodiment of what it means to live a fulfilled life. We talk about what keeps people in the positions they are, where Rob shares his unique approach to overcoming risks. Making decisions is not the hard part; it’s about having the resolve to stick with them, and Rob explains how he has worked to find peace in his decision-making. We also hear some words of wisdom for those who feel stuck, the huge benefits that come with hiring a coach, and why coaching is more of an art rather than a science. To hear more, tune in today!
