Podcasts about why gwen

Gwen Fox, a professional artist, instructor, and coach, joins the show to talk about building confidence. We discuss the difference between a belief and a truth, silencing our inner critic, how to overcome setbacks and deal gracefully with unwanted commentary. Gwen shares some of her own affirmations and gives specific ways in which we can use goal setting and visualization to create a life we may have never even dreamt was possible.   In this interview, you will Gwen hear talk about: What you can do when your confidence is dashed, and how perfectionism and negative self-talk doesn’t help. Why some people appear more confident than others, and where confidence doesn’t come from. Why it’s crucial to surround yourself with those that give you confidence. Gwen’s personal experience of an authority figure questioning her intellectual capabilities, and how she finally shed the belief of not being “smart enough” that plagued her for years. The difference between beliefs and truths, and how to acknowledge and then silence your inner critic. Why so many artists suffer from the imposter syndrome, and how to combat it. How the words you choose to describe yourself shape the entire creative process. Examples of affirmations that Gwen herself uses for success and confidence. How Gwen looks at failure and mistakes as learning lessons and highways to success. The two best words you could ever ask yourself: “what if”. The importance of using visualization, affirmations, and goal setting as tools to shape confidence and release your artistic voice into the world. Why Gwen fully believes we produce better art when we are kind to ourselves.   Resources: Gwen Fox   Quotes: “Confidence is a mindset.” “Creating comes from your soul, and it’s where you reveal the deep, intimate side of yourself.” “Your creativity is what is so important. No one has your voice.” “What we feed ourselves mentally is what we bring about.” “The most important real estate in the world is the 6 inches between your ears.” “Know that failure is an event, it is not personal.”     *** This episode is brought to you by the Art Biz Inner Circle.

“It’s hard. I go and put the work in and see a glimmer of hope and then get my butt handed to me a week later. It’s difficult. But I know what I want to do and what I believe I’m capable of doing, and I know I just need to continue to work.” —Gwen Jorgensen When Gwen Jorgensen was on the Ali on the Run Show earlier this year, she had recently moved to Portland, OR, and had just announced her next big goal: to transition from an Olympic gold medal-winning triathlete to an Olympic gold medal-winning marathoner.

Millennials are often mischaracterized as being lazy and wanting things handed to them.  I can’t tell you how far from the truth that is, especially when it comes to Gwen & J  from the FIRE Drill Podcast who came on the podcast today to talk about pursuing FI and the different aspects of paying off debt and being financially stable. Both bloggers have their own informative and successful blogs that share their specific paths to FI and are set on inspiring others to do the same. I’m also super impressed by what they’ve been able to accomplish so far at such young ages. Gwen has saved $100k by age 25 and purchased her first rental property, a triplex, earlier this year. J has paid off nearly $100k of debt in two years and has saved over $200k towards retirement by age 28. On the episode today, we explore the importance of savings and increasing your income. J explains how essential it is to have an emergency fund after what happened to her while she was paying off debt, and Gwen talks about why she has FU money. It was also interesting to hear their takes on real estate and how to get started with house hacking. This is a great episode on the importance of working towards FI and achieving financial goals. I also announce the Budget Boot Camp Class & open the waitlist for the Q1 2018 Journey To Financial Freedom Mastermind. Now here are the main topics we talk about in the episode: The FIRE Drill podcast What the podcast is about Their specific interests in finance How FI allows a life of options An interesting way to pursue FI How their opinions have evolved since the beginning of the podcast J and Gwen’s journey How Gwen found FIRE in college Why Gwen plans on quitting her job and be her own boss The sacrifices involved How J got inspired to pay off all her student debt J's methods to pay off debt Career hacking Reaching FI How savings give you freedom and options What is FU money The importance of having an emergency fund Getting started with real estate 2 methods to achieve FI: savings and monthly cash flows The irony once you achieve FI Having a back up plan Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Grab your seat at the Budget Boot Camp Sign up for the 2018 Q1 Launch To Financial Freedom Mastermind Waitlist Paula Pant: Afford Anything Mad Fientist: HSA - The Ultimate Retirement Account Bigger Pockets Leave me a voicemail- Leave me a question on the Journey To Launch voicemail and have it answered on the podcast!
