600: Joie Goodkin - Life Lessons on Grace and Grit

We could all always use a little inspiration from time to time. Sometimes we seek it out. And sometimes it finds us at the just the right time we need to hear it. I consider myself intuitive and confident in my work. And yet, occasionally I stumble across some outside wisdom that reframes my perspectives in all the right ways. You just never know where the inspiration might come from. The most successful people are the ones who have the perfect balance of both grace and grit. Whether in business or in life, if you believe in what you do, do it with conviction, follow your intuition, and love the process of uncertainty, you will get to the top. Sometimes all it takes is a little reminder that we have all we need within us. We don’t have to have all the answers, but we just have to trust and go. Just start. Start anywhere. Just go out, do it, and if it doesn’t work, try something else.  To dive deeper into her beautiful wisdom, I’ve brought on author and inspiration, Joie Goodkin.   Joie’s career and civic contributions have been honored with about fifty awards for community service and business accomplishment. She did a stint fighting crime with her work with CrimeStoppers, a national organization that she helped to bring to south Florida. She has won multiple sales and marketing awards, including one co-won with Wayne Huizenga, founder of Waste Management, AutoNation and Blockbuster video for marketing leadership from the South Florida Sales and Marketing Association.  She was named Woman of the Year in Marketing and Communications from the South Florida Advertising Federation, was a recipient of the Brotherhood award from the National Conference of Christians and Jews, and the Golden Rule Award from JC Penney.  Learn how to follow both the zigs and the zags, by downloading this episode now.  THE WARRIOR OF PHYSICAL STRENGTH “Everything you need to know is already within you. You just have to tune in.” - Joie Goodkin Highlights - Living in a polarized society, we have to work harder to show that we are more similar than we are different. Everyone is gifted with intuition.  You have to have your own sense of confidence.  You always have a choice in what you believe.  Real confidence is knowing that you’re ok.  Look for the greater potential in the narrow opportunities presented to you. ‘No’ is just a word on the path to ‘yes.’ Love the process.  Trust the universe. Nothing is impossible.  Guest Contact - Joie's Website Joie's Book - You Can Do It!
