EP 52: Stop Making Success So Hard with Susie Moore

Can you believe it’s already been a year since we launched the Do It Scared® podcast?! If you’ve been listening from the beginning, you probably remember the very first guest, Susie Moore. I’m thrilled to say that she’s back for today’s anniversary episode! Susie and I will chat about why you’re probably making it too hard, and how you can make going after your goals and dreams so much easier.

Susie will introduce herself again in case you aren’t already familiar with her, but if you haven’t heard our first conversation on the show, I really recommend you go back and listen! We’ll also spend some time talking about our truth club. I get so many questions about this mastermind from listeners who want to know how to get started with creating their own, so if you’ve ever wondered about that, this is the episode for you!

At the last meeting of our truth club, I pretty much got my butt kicked. See, I’m not naturally good at publicity and outreach, and Susie is amazing at it, but I didn’t want to do what she was saying I had to do. Finally she told me something that blew my mind: “It can be easy. You don’t need to make it this hard.” I followed through with the assignment that my truth club gave me, and in 24 hours, I was completely cured of my fear of outreach.

Isn’t that powerful? That’s the kind of amazing insight and breakthrough that I hope you experience while you listen to this episode! Everything you’re afraid of right now is all in your head, and creating a life you love is easier than you’re making it. Susie will help you question your thoughts, overcome your fears, and make things easier than you realized they could be!
