#NoLimits - Mark Ormrod

I first became aware of Dooa a few years ago when a friend of mine asked me to wave the flag and start the Plymouth 10K. I stood on the bleachers, the start horn sounded, I waved the flag and then proceeded to watch a sea of runners sync their watches and sip their water as they sprinted off to take part in the race. Towards the tail end of that wave was Dooa, the only wheelchair athlete who had entered the race. I watched her push across the start line, clearly in the zone ready and primed to race and then she was gone. I didn’t manage to see her at the end as the place was jammed but often when driving through our home town of Plymouth I’d spot her out and about but never found the right opportunity to say hello. Then out of the blue Dooa sent me a DM about coming on the Podcast and here we are. I think you’re really going to enjoy this one because Dooa has a great story to tell. As she’s telling it try and put yourself in her shoes and imagine some of the adversity that she’s overcome. She truly is a remarkable woman and someone I’m very proud to have had on the show.   Enjoy.....   To support the show and help make this possible please head on over to my Facebook page and sign up to become a supporter by hitting the blue button at the top of the page: https://m.facebook.com/markormrodmotivationalspeaker/ #NoLimits

Liv Chapman is a remarkable young woman with a very bright future. Liv was born with a limb difference and had to face all the usual hurdles a young lady faces growing up but with the extra challenges her differences brought along with them. With a great family and great friends around her she embraced what made her different instead of shying away from it and it looks like that attitude and approach is going to take her to some incredible places and inspire others to do the same.

So, sit back and listen to the rollercoaster ride that is Alex Kroll's life and be prepared to have your mindset shifted! #NoLimits  

Dave Watson joined the Army at an early age. Young, energetic and fuelled by testosterone he relished the opportunity to test his metal and serve his country, something he would very quickly get to do. However, halfway through an action packed tour of Afghanistan tragedy struck and Dave's life was changed forever... Website - www.dwmotivation.co.uk Instagram - davewatsonmotivation #NoLimits

In this episode of the #NoLimits Podcast, Mark talks about the many reasons why we procrastinate, which is ironic as it took him a week from deciding to cover this topic to actually recording it! #NoLimits

For most of us we go from day to day running a very similar routine, we stick with what we know and we stay comfortable and that's fine, but living that way makes it very hard to grow as a person and the only way we can grow is if we step outside of our comfort zone and do things that scare us a little.   In the beginning that may be hard to do but believe me, once you've squashed that fear and dominated that thing you've been avoiding the feeling is incomparable.   Life is all about growth and progress, so get out there, jump outside of your comfort zone, do something that scares you and be a BEAST!!   #NoLimits

We all lead very busy lives with work, family, hobbies, commitments, finding time for friends etc... and because in this day and age we are so connected to everything through things like smartphones it's often very hard to draw that line, swithch off, escape and try to avoid burn out. So today Mark wants to talk abouth the importance of rest and relaxation both physically and mentally to help recharge your mind, body and spirit. #NoLimits
