94. On Be a Skateboarder 🛹 with Kathy Oneto

Overview

Could you be a skateboarder? Host Kathy Oneto suggests that we all should get inspired by skateboarders’ tenacity and persistence. Talk about being willing to fail and fail again. Ambitions aren’t time bound, nor is success. You can land the trick if you’re consistent and persistent.

Topics Covered

  • Get inspired by skateboarders.

  • Kathy revisits the research from Albert-LászlĂł Barabási as written about in his book, “The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success.”

  • Ambitions aren’t time bound. Kathy reminds us what Dorie Clark says, “Play the long game.”

  • Seth Godin also provides some inspiration in this episode.

  • If it’s the Right Ambition, keep at it. Be consistent, be persistent.

  • Keep going. Take the next action. Try again. What’s next?
