The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger

Why You Should Chase Goals You’re Likely to Fail At

Dr. Glenn Krieger

When was the last time you did something that scared the living daylights out of you? I’m talking about something that pushed you so far out of your comfort zone that you were not even sure you’d succeed.

If you’re only focusing on the easy stuff, you’re missing out on what truly changes you. It's not the things you’re already good at that will take you to the next level. It’s those audacious goals that scare the hell out of you.

In today’s episode, I’m encouraging you to take on something that you might fail at. Because it’s in that process that you’ll find growth.

Find it and take it on. Listen to this episode to find out why you should make time for something that pushes you beyond your limits.
