Stop Waiting to Be Ready: Take the Step That Becomes You

00:00.000 --> 00:04.009
Welcome to the Revolution of Purpose Podcast. I'm your host, John Streit,
00:04.041 --> 00:07.938
and each week we bring you conversations with thought leaders, entrepreneurs,
00:08.035 --> 00:11.868
and individuals who have aligned their life with purpose and
00:11.900 --> 00:15.412
created extraordinary results. So I'm going to live through it and accept it
00:15.912 --> 00:18.844
radically with grace and hope and love. I mean,
00:19.342 --> 00:21.571
I would be proud to be in this council. It was an honor. I had
00:21.603 --> 00:25.067
so much fun. Tune in every Monday for the Revolution of Purpose solo
00:25.567 --> 00:28.868
show and every Thursday for Revolution of Purpose Conversations.
00:29.767 --> 00:33.526
What is that thing that you're going to do when you feel ready?
00:34.458 --> 00:37.575
Seriously, what is the thing that you know you want to do,
00:38.217 --> 00:40.643
but you keep telling yourself, I'm just not ready yet?
00:41.431 --> 00:45.254
Maybe you're waiting to start the business or to have the conversation,
00:46.009 --> 00:49.110
to make the move, to apply for the opportunity,
00:49.608 --> 00:53.480
to end something that you know has run its course, or to
00:53.980 --> 00:58.075
start something that you've been dreaming about for years. Put yourself
00:58.123 --> 01:01.770
out there. Whatever it is, you've convinced yourself
01:02.140 --> 01:05.498
that at some point in the future, you're going to wake up and finally
01:05.851 --> 01:09.917
feel ready. My friends, what if that day never comes?
01:10.752 --> 01:14.174
Because here's something I've discovered. You don't always feel ready
01:14.207 --> 01:17.549
before you make the decision. Sometimes you have
01:17.581 --> 01:21.662
to make the decision, and then the decision creates
01:22.162 --> 01:25.367
the person. Who becomes ready. Welcome back to the
01:25.867 --> 01:29.808
Revolution of Purpose podcast. On this solo show, I want to ask
01:30.161 --> 01:33.543
you about something very specific. Why do you
01:34.043 --> 01:37.632
stop doing the things you feel like you should do because you just feel like
01:38.193 --> 01:41.463
you're not ready? So there is this myth of readiness.
01:41.624 --> 01:44.846
I think we have this idea that before we make the
01:45.346 --> 01:48.918
big move in our lives, we're supposed to have this overwhelming sense of certainty
01:49.415 --> 01:52.445
that somehow everything is going to line up.
01:52.944 --> 01:56.423
The fear is going to disappear. The questions are going to go away.
01:56.874 --> 02:00.900
And we're going to wake up one morning and think, today is the
02:01.400 --> 02:04.877
day I have arrived. I am ready. But think
02:05.377 --> 02:08.049
about some of the biggest decisions that you've ever made.
02:09.542 --> 02:12.494
Did you always feel ready? Were you really,
02:12.753 --> 02:16.286
truly ready? Or did you make the decision and then
02:16.383 --> 02:19.769
you figured out how to become the person capable of living that?
02:20.213 --> 02:24.514
Because I think that's how transformation actually happens. We don't become
02:25.014 --> 02:28.410
courageous and then go do courageous things. We do courageous
02:28.538 --> 02:32.619
things, and through doing those things, we become courageous.
02:33.197 --> 02:36.587
We don't become confident and then step out into the opportunity.
02:36.973 --> 02:40.507
No, we step out into the opportunity, and by taking that step,
02:40.909 --> 02:43.945
the confidence develops because we discover,
02:44.202 --> 02:47.544
wow, we can really handle this. We don't
02:47.560 --> 02:51.255
always become ready and then move. Sometimes movement
02:51.497 --> 02:55.227
is the very thing that makes us ready. So what
02:55.308 --> 02:59.231
are you really waiting for? I want you to think
02:59.731 --> 03:03.489
about something right now. What are you waiting to feel ready
03:03.522 --> 03:06.871
for? And then ask yourself another question. What does ready
03:07.129 --> 03:10.929
actually mean to you? Does it mean that you're no longer
03:11.429 --> 03:15.048
afraid? Does it mean that you no longer have to know exactly
03:15.081 --> 03:19.531
how everything is going to work out? Maybe it means everyone around
03:20.031 --> 03:24.267
you doesn't have to approve. Does it mean that there's no possibility
03:24.767 --> 03:28.073
of failure and then you know you're ready? Because if that's what you're waiting for,
03:28.282 --> 03:32.103
you're going to be waiting forever. There are things
03:32.135 --> 03:35.796
in my own life that I've stepped into without knowing exactly
03:35.892 --> 03:39.200
how they were going to turn out. And looking back,
03:39.345 --> 03:41.898
I can see something now that I could not see then.
03:42.876 --> 03:46.240
I wasn't supposed to have everything I needed before I started.
03:47.074 --> 03:50.534
Some of what I needed could only be developed through that
03:50.566 --> 03:53.834
journey. The confidence, the wisdom,
03:54.828 --> 03:58.288
the very relationships that brought it about, the resilience,
03:58.433 --> 04:02.566
the experience, even the clarity. Those things weren't waiting for
04:03.066 --> 04:06.507
me at the starting line. They were waiting for me along the
04:07.007 --> 04:11.009
road. And sometimes we don't even fully discover
04:11.073 --> 04:13.974
who we are until we start moving.
04:14.616 --> 04:18.047
Let's take Oprah for an example.
04:18.865 --> 04:22.056
You know, today we know Oprah as one of the most successful and
04:22.556 --> 04:26.402
influential media personalities in the entire world. But early in her
04:26.902 --> 04:30.155
television career, Oprah was not yet, well, Oprah,
04:30.315 --> 04:33.490
not the Oprah that we know today. She was working in
04:33.682 --> 04:36.665
a small television studio in Baltimore,
04:37.226 --> 04:39.985
and she was struggling in that traditional anchor role.
04:40.337 --> 04:43.529
Eventually, she was removed from that evening
04:43.962 --> 04:47.927
broadcast. Now imagine experiencing that moment
04:47.976 --> 04:51.588
without knowing the rest of the story, because we have the benefit
04:52.088 --> 04:55.987
of looking backwards. We know what Oprah became, but she didn't have
04:56.487 --> 05:00.082
that perspective while she was living it. Think about how easy it
05:00.582 --> 05:04.529
would have been to interpret that as experience leading to
05:04.577 --> 05:08.254
the evidence that I'm not good enough. You know, what if she's like, this is
05:08.366 --> 05:11.770
telling me right here, I'm not cut out for television. What if
05:11.802 --> 05:15.559
this experience is telling me I was wrong about myself all along?
05:16.633 --> 05:20.208
But something interesting happened instead. Oprah eventually
05:20.240 --> 05:23.831
moved into daytime television, and that's
05:24.331 --> 05:28.063
where the very qualities that didn't necessarily fit the traditional evening
05:28.175 --> 05:31.461
news anchor role became some of her greatest
05:31.961 --> 05:34.475
strengths. Her ability to connect, her empathy,
05:35.292 --> 05:39.172
her curiosity, her willingness to be authentic
05:39.380 --> 05:42.779
and emotional and vulnerable and present with
05:42.907 --> 05:46.674
other human beings. And ultimately, that's what helped her discover
05:47.011 --> 05:50.524
the kind of television she was uniquely equipped to create.
05:51.182 --> 05:55.034
Here's why I think that matters. Sometimes you don't discover
05:55.534 --> 05:58.404
who you are by sitting somewhere trying to figure out who you are.
05:59.206 --> 06:02.303
Sometimes you discover yourself by moving,
06:03.057 --> 06:07.101
by trying something, by learning, by adjusting, by getting
06:07.149 --> 06:10.600
rejected, by getting redirected. You discover
06:11.100 --> 06:14.419
something about yourself that you could not have discovered from the sidelines.
06:15.574 --> 06:19.570
And here's the mistake that we make. We interpret something that
06:19.731 --> 06:23.518
it is evidence that we can't do something. It's evidence that we're
06:24.018 --> 06:27.257
not ready. But sometimes it is not evidence that
06:27.757 --> 06:31.333
we're not ready. It's just information. It's showing us something.
06:31.863 --> 06:35.634
When you get that rejection, ask yourself, what is this
06:36.134 --> 06:39.325
showing me? Maybe this isn't the right room for me.
06:40.128 --> 06:43.947
Maybe this isn't the right method for me. Maybe this isn't the right expression of
06:43.979 --> 06:47.426
my gift. But that does not necessarily mean that the gift
06:47.926 --> 06:51.961
is not there. That's why you've got to be willing to move,
06:52.698 --> 06:56.095
because clarity often comes through that movement. You take
06:56.595 --> 07:00.118
a step and you learn something. You take another step and you
07:00.618 --> 07:04.364
learn something else. And eventually you look around and you realize this
07:04.396 --> 07:07.745
journey wasn't just taking me somewhere. This journey was
07:07.858 --> 07:12.394
revealing me to myself. Identity comes
07:12.651 --> 07:15.954
before the evidence. And this
07:16.454 --> 07:19.883
is where identity enters this conversation. You know, we talk so much about
07:20.383 --> 07:24.582
identity on this podcast. If you've listened, you've heard me say your identity
07:24.694 --> 07:28.591
creates your destiny. And most people want evidence before they're willing
07:28.623 --> 07:32.504
to change how they see themselves. And they'll say, when the business
07:32.552 --> 07:36.096
succeeds, then I'll be the entrepreneur. I'll believe in
07:36.144 --> 07:39.549
myself. Or when people start listening to me, then I'll
07:40.049 --> 07:44.042
believe that I have something worth saying. Or when I get the opportunity, I will
07:44.075 --> 07:47.484
believe I'm qualified. When I accomplish that
07:47.613 --> 07:50.517
goal, I'll finally believe I'm capable.
07:51.469 --> 07:54.841
But transformation works in the opposite direction.
07:55.745 --> 07:59.722
You have to begin becoming the person before
08:00.222 --> 08:03.731
the evidence completely supports it. And that's why one of the foundational ideas
08:03.828 --> 08:06.076
I teach is be it and you will see it. If you've heard me for
08:06.576 --> 08:10.179
a while, you've heard me say, I'm not a fan of fake it till
08:10.212 --> 08:13.456
you make it. I don't believe in that because I believe everything
08:13.520 --> 08:17.568
we do is an authentic expression of ourselves, and it is so
08:17.713 --> 08:20.974
sacred and so honest. There's nothing fake about it.
08:21.648 --> 08:24.764
So instead, I say, be it and you will see it.
08:25.568 --> 08:29.551
You begin showing up as the person that you're becoming. You begin
08:29.583 --> 08:33.085
making decisions as that person. You begin speaking
08:33.422 --> 08:36.619
as that person, and you begin establishing the standards.
08:37.196 --> 08:41.301
Of that person. You start walking through doors as
08:41.801 --> 08:45.230
a whole different person. The identity of this person who
08:45.730 --> 08:49.158
can accomplish your goals, and eventually your external
08:49.658 --> 08:53.118
reality begins catching up with the internal
08:53.166 --> 08:57.063
transformation that you've done. And here's something I really
08:57.095 --> 09:00.542
want you to hear is that the old version of you may never
09:01.042 --> 09:04.759
feel ready for the life that the new version of you is capable of creating.
09:05.737 --> 09:09.439
Think about that. You're asking your current identity for
09:09.939 --> 09:13.126
permission to step into something that requires a new identity.
09:14.007 --> 09:17.421
Of course it feels uncomfortable. My friends, of course there is
09:17.517 --> 09:20.787
uncertainty. Of course, part of you says,
09:21.220 --> 09:24.345
what do you think you're doing? Who do you think you are?
09:25.307 --> 09:28.801
But maybe the better question is, who do you think you're becoming?
09:29.298 --> 09:33.369
Please pardon me while I interrupt your podcast episode with a quick message.
09:34.299 --> 09:37.250

more people who are searching for hope, searching for purpose,

and LinkedIn. Just search for John Street. And then one last very important
10:33.106 --> 10:36.616
thing. If you've ever found yourself asking questions like,
10:37.322 --> 10:40.192
why am I here? Am I living my purpose?
10:40.449 --> 10:44.314
How do I get unstuck in life? How do I take my
10:44.475 --> 10:48.147
life to the next level? Then I would love to invite you to
10:48.647 --> 10:51.371
schedule a free clarity call with me.
10:52.077 --> 10:55.589
Let me be clear. This is not a sales call. This is not a coaching
10:55.621 --> 10:59.037
call with someone from my team. This is nothing prerecorded. This is
10:59.133 --> 11:02.606
a real one-on-one coaching conversation with
11:02.638 --> 11:06.326
me. And together, we will explore where you are, where you
11:06.359 --> 11:10.122
want to go, and what may be standing in your way. My goal
11:10.780 --> 11:14.122
is simply to help you gain greater clarity, direction,
11:14.572 --> 11:17.930
and momentum in reaching your goals. To connect
11:18.430 --> 11:21.859
with me, to schedule your clarity call, or to learn more
11:22.053 --> 11:24.971

11:25.295 --> 11:28.489
please visit johnstreet.org Or reach out to
11:28.989 --> 11:32.888
me on any of the social media platforms I mentioned. And now let's
11:32.905 --> 11:36.919
get you back to today's episode, because perhaps the
11:37.419 --> 11:40.997
person that you've been ready and has been waking up every
11:41.029 --> 11:44.449
morning and getting in your head about how you can't do something
11:45.268 --> 11:48.704
isn't quite ready yet. And that's okay. You're just not trying
11:48.736 --> 11:52.237
to stay that same person. You're trying to take a step into becoming.
11:53.248 --> 11:56.648
Someone different, into becoming the person that's living your goals.
11:57.642 --> 12:01.043
There are moments when life invites us into something before we feel
12:01.091 --> 12:04.795
completely equipped for it, and the invitation itself
12:04.860 --> 12:08.613
becomes part of your transformation. There's another reason
12:09.113 --> 12:13.119
some people don't feel ready, and this one can be incredibly powerful
12:13.619 --> 12:16.968
because sometimes we've convinced ourselves that we're too late.
12:17.610 --> 12:20.802
Sometimes we've told ourselves we don't feel ready because
12:20.818 --> 12:24.010
we've missed it. We missed the boat. We've waited too long.
12:24.223 --> 12:27.931
We've gotten too old. Maybe you're listening to this
12:28.431 --> 12:31.611
and you're 40 years old. Maybe you're 50. Maybe you're 60.
12:32.047 --> 12:35.566
Maybe you're 70. Maybe you're looking around at people who
12:35.598 --> 12:39.300
started earlier and then they're doing something similar
12:39.800 --> 12:42.630
to what you're doing and you're like, I should have done this years ago.
12:43.260 --> 12:47.057
I've missed my opportunity. How many of you get on social media
12:47.557 --> 12:51.513
right now and find every 25-year-old saying they're a multimillionaire in their Lamborghini
12:52.013 --> 12:55.748
and living in their homes in Dubai and the Swiss Alps and you're like,
12:56.309 --> 12:59.789
how did I miss it? It's too late for me to reinvent myself.
13:00.334 --> 13:03.845
This dude with a washboard stomach and all these abs
13:03.861 --> 13:07.548
is telling me that he's so rich with AI and all I know how
13:08.048 --> 13:10.691
to do with AI is ask ChatGPT what I should have for dinner.
13:11.380 --> 13:14.940
I just want you to know, if you feel like that's you and you feel
13:15.440 --> 13:19.092
like you have missed your boat, you have not. Think about Vera
13:19.592 --> 13:23.100
Wang for a moment. You know, Vera Wang is synonymous with bridal
13:23.116 --> 13:26.710
fashion, But her dresses are absolutely astounding.
13:26.774 --> 13:30.770
They're gorgeous. But she didn't spend her 20s building
13:30.882 --> 13:34.958
the Vera Wang bridal empire. You know, she was a competitive figure
13:35.458 --> 13:39.259
skater when she was younger, and then she built a successful career in fashion,
13:39.708 --> 13:43.254
including years working at Vogue and then later Ralph Lauren. And it
13:43.383 --> 13:46.608
wasn't until the age of 40 years old that
13:47.108 --> 13:50.587
she entered the bridal design and opened her own bridal
13:50.603 --> 13:54.245
boutique. She was 40. Now think
13:54.745 --> 13:58.481
about that through the lens of identity. At 39 years old, the identity the
13:58.545 --> 14:02.155
world would eventually associate with the name Vera Wang had not
14:02.655 --> 14:06.695
even emerged yet. That chapter was still ahead of her.
14:07.706 --> 14:11.764
And I want somebody listening to hear me today when I say this: you
14:11.861 --> 14:15.133
have no idea what chapter of your story you
14:15.166 --> 14:19.074
may still be standing in front of. We have created these
14:19.171 --> 14:22.883
imaginary timelines for ourselves. I should have figured
14:23.383 --> 14:26.417
this out by 25. I should have known this by 35.
14:26.514 --> 14:30.060
I should have accomplished this by 40. I should be financially at
14:30.077 --> 14:33.704
this point by 50. I should have found my purpose
14:34.204 --> 14:37.895
by now. According to whom? You know,
14:37.911 --> 14:40.944
who established this deadline for you becoming
14:41.621 --> 14:44.315
your goal-achieved life? Maybe you aren't behind at all.
14:44.444 --> 14:48.133
Maybe you're just still becoming. Because everything you've
14:48.149 --> 14:51.740
lived through up to this point, the successes,
14:51.852 --> 14:55.651
the disappointments, the careers, the jobs, the relationships,
14:56.004 --> 15:00.236
the things that worked out and the things that failed spectacularly,
15:01.374 --> 15:05.478
those things have developed something in you that the next chapter
15:05.978 --> 15:09.533
requires. Vera Wang did not arrive at 40
15:09.870 --> 15:13.140
empty-handed. She brought decades of experience
15:13.252 --> 15:17.100
with her. Her previous chapters weren't wasted simply because they
15:17.180 --> 15:20.196
weren't the final chapter. And neither are yours.
15:21.191 --> 15:24.979
That's why I don't want you to sit here thinking, I should have started 10
15:25.028 --> 15:28.719
years ago. Maybe, maybe you should have, but you didn't.
15:29.361 --> 15:32.941
And unless somebody listening to this podcast has figured out time travel,
15:33.294 --> 15:36.440
you can't, you can't go back and do anything about that.
15:36.986 --> 15:40.132
All we have right now is today. So what
15:40.632 --> 15:43.727
can you do? Start today. There's that
15:44.227 --> 15:47.197
old adage, when is the best time to plant a tree? 10 years ago.
15:47.439 --> 15:50.337
When is the second best time to plant a tree? Today.
15:52.350 --> 15:55.136
10 years from now, you don't want to be sitting there and saying, I wish
15:55.184 --> 15:58.724
I had planted that tree. You don't want to be saying, I wish I
15:59.224 --> 16:02.800
had started 10 years ago. All we have is today. So today
16:02.945 --> 16:06.934
is the day to make the decision. Today is the moment to decide
16:06.950 --> 16:10.884
who you are, to allow the shift in your identity, to decide that
16:11.303 --> 16:14.958
you don't have to be fully ready. To walk into this new
16:15.250 --> 16:18.632
chapter of your life? The question's not,
16:18.664 --> 16:21.870
why didn't I do this sooner? The question is,
16:22.051 --> 16:25.792
who am I willing to become today? And that
16:25.824 --> 16:28.865
brings me to something else that we've got to understand.
16:29.948 --> 16:33.441
We have to stop interpreting fear as a stop
16:33.941 --> 16:37.463
sign, because sometimes fear means this matters
16:37.576 --> 16:40.418
to me. But I haven't done this before.
16:40.771 --> 16:44.525
Sometimes fear means I'm stepping beyond the boundaries of the identity
16:44.557 --> 16:47.862
that I've known. But it doesn't mean you can't create
16:47.910 --> 16:51.102
that new identity. It doesn't mean you can't be it and see it.
16:51.680 --> 16:55.514
Fear does not automatically mean that you're going in the wrong direction.
16:56.284 --> 16:59.878
Sometimes fear shows up precisely because you're finally
16:59.942 --> 17:03.375
moving. And courage is not the absence of that feeling.
17:03.551 --> 17:06.954
Courage is the deciding. This feeling doesn't get to
17:07.454 --> 17:11.322
make the decision for me. And my friends, that is powerful
17:11.675 --> 17:15.095
because now you don't have to eliminate fear before you move.
17:15.833 --> 17:19.543
You don't have to manufacture some magical feeling of readiness.
17:20.008 --> 17:23.364
You simply have to decide who gets to make the decision,
17:24.183 --> 17:27.780
the person that you've been or the person that you're becoming.
17:29.177 --> 17:32.911
So let's make this practical. I want you to identify one
17:33.168 --> 17:37.013
thing that you've been waiting to feel ready for. Not 10 things, but one thing.
17:38.074 --> 17:41.608
What is one decision that you've been postponing because you don't feel ready?
17:42.517 --> 17:46.102
And then instead ask yourself, what would the person
17:46.602 --> 17:49.930
that I'm becoming do next? I didn't
17:50.430 --> 17:52.922
say what would they accomplish? I said, what would they do next?
17:53.649 --> 17:57.126
Maybe it's sending that email or making the phone call or signing up for
17:57.626 --> 18:00.485
that class or starting the first page or posting the video or having the conversation.
18:02.922 --> 18:05.615
Walking into the room, asking for the opportunity,
18:06.031 --> 18:09.285
saying yes. Maybe it's saying no. Maybe it's finally
18:09.413 --> 18:13.500
saying, I'm making myself a priority. You don't
18:14.000 --> 18:17.571
have to know the next 100 steps. You need enough courage
18:17.587 --> 18:21.032
for one, because one decision creates
18:21.532 --> 18:25.167
movement, and that movement creates evidence, which creates confidence,
18:25.280 --> 18:28.918
and confidence begins changing the way you see yourself.
18:29.446 --> 18:32.395
That's how the new identity becomes real.
18:33.536 --> 18:37.375
It's like with Oprah. She couldn't have known where all of those steps were
18:37.875 --> 18:41.053
eventually going to lead. Vera Wang, at 39,
18:41.085 --> 18:45.229
one of the chapters that she would become most famous for had not even begun.
18:45.823 --> 18:50.240
Different stories, but the same principle. Stop waiting to
18:50.740 --> 18:54.497
feel ready. So here's what I want you to remember today. You may have
18:54.997 --> 18:58.561
received the feeling that you're waiting for. You may have said,
18:58.834 --> 19:02.605
I think I have hope to do this. Or you may have heard
19:03.105 --> 19:06.212
this and said, once again, I just don't think I'm ready, John. You don't
19:06.712 --> 19:10.379
know me or my situation. Readiness is not always about something
19:10.444 --> 19:14.034
you feel. Sometimes readiness is something that you
19:14.050 --> 19:17.769
have to create within yourself, and you create it by moving.
19:17.834 --> 19:21.440
You create it by deciding. You create it by taking a step
19:21.940 --> 19:25.576
forward while your voice still shakes a little, by saying yes before
19:25.672 --> 19:29.295
you know exactly how it's going to happen, by trusting that the
19:29.795 --> 19:33.351
person you need to become will emerge through the process. Of becoming?
19:34.008 --> 19:37.550
Your future is not asking you to have everything figured out
19:38.050 --> 19:41.702
today. It's simply saying, will you take the next best step?
19:42.599 --> 19:45.885
Because the life you desire is created by the person you become.
19:46.590 --> 19:50.021
And sometimes you become that person by stepping forward
19:50.053 --> 19:53.739
before you feel ready. And if you're listening to this today and you're
19:54.239 --> 19:57.875
thinking, John, I know there's something I need to do, and I know there's something
19:57.987 --> 20:01.321
more for me. I just don't know what my next decision is,
20:02.059 --> 20:05.891
that is why I have created the Shift Call Experience.
20:06.083 --> 20:09.803
Shift is a private mindset coaching experience with me
20:09.851 --> 20:13.298
built around one simple idea. One new decision can
20:13.798 --> 20:17.178
change the trajectory of your life. We will look at where you
20:17.210 --> 20:20.849
are. We will see where you want to go. We will see who you
20:21.138 --> 20:24.649
are and who you're becoming and what may be standing between those
20:24.761 --> 20:28.738
two realities. And then together, we'll identify one decision that
20:28.754 --> 20:32.537
you can begin to put action into your
20:33.037 --> 20:36.913
life immediately. Because sometimes you don't need another 6 months of thinking.
20:37.090 --> 20:40.841
You just need a shift in your perspective, a new decision,
20:41.578 --> 20:45.201
a new way of seeing yourself. And that decision might just be
20:45.701 --> 20:48.824
the beginning of everything that comes next. So if you'd
20:48.872 --> 20:52.478
like to experience a Shift Call with me, reach out and
20:52.978 --> 20:57.688
let's make this happen. You can always go to johnstreet.org
20:57.768 --> 21:00.830
and sign up for your Shift Call there, or also send me a message with
21:01.330 --> 21:04.890
the word shift here on YouTube, or if you're listening on your platforms,
21:05.066 --> 21:08.886
you got like Spotify or Apple or Amazon,
21:08.934 --> 21:12.400
then you can always send me a message at john@johnstreet.org.
21:13.588 --> 21:16.204
Just know that you don't have to feel ready to begin.
21:17.135 --> 21:20.633
Sometimes beginning is how you become ready. I hope
21:20.649 --> 21:24.084
you enjoyed this episode of the Revolution of Purpose podcast as much as

live it. Go make today another step in your own revolution
22:32.551 --> 22:33.096
