What is hitting go? For us, it is that moment of clarity and catalyst becomes an idea becomes a mission. Hitting go is about gaining, developing and strengthening the mindset of not allowing those barriers to become show stoppers. All challenges have a solution or, at the very least, an alternate solution path forward. Far too often we allow great ventures to fall off our radar. The reasons are endless but a few of the major instigators we hear over and over again include.Challenges in creating enough time in the dayKnowledge requirements preventing us from truly capitalizing on somethingFinancial barriers preventing us from investing in the research neededIn today's show.

 In season 1 of the podcast, I am going to be talking about my own personal experience of pursuing a passion project through launching a band called The JoversThis show is a conversation show dedicated to exploring and focusing on the start-up ideas, side hustles or passion projects that you've been hiding from the world.  I want to help you build skills and knowledge that will empower you to create, launch and hopefully monetize your most audacious goals.  I love diving headfirst into the unknown nitty-gritty of a new project.  It's ambiguous, a little terrifying and always a valuable experience. That's where the philosophy of Wheelhouse Factory comes in . . . I use the term Wheelhouse to describe the focal point between what you enjoy, what you're good at and what you want to offer the world.  Your Wheelhouse is the sweet spot everyone searches for. . .  but it is so difficult to uncover and even more challenging to go after.   To be successful, you need to leverage a framework, process and people to help translate your wheelhouse into reality and impact - and that set of resources is your Factory. The concept  is really about the process of discovering what you're passionate about and leveraging the set of tools and skills needed to capitalize on itThis journey continues had led to so many high points and moments that I am so thankful for.  More importantly though, like with any new venture, there have also been countless unexpected plot twists and challenges to overcome.Whether your idea has to do with music or something completely different, the topics we're going to jump into will apply to you and support you on your own journey. We're going to spend time exploring and developing the toolkit you need in order to pursue your next great venture Before we get started . . . I would just like to say thank you so much for listening to the show. If you would like to support Wheelhouse Factory the best way to do that is to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review so we can continue creating new content.  If you'd like you to hear about more resources from Wheelhouse Factory consider joining the mailing list by visiting www.wheelhousefactory.com.
