This is a follow-up from my interview with Karen Swim that Karen and I did on Twitter. Come back Monday for the first of my two-part interview with Melia Dicker.
Karen: I think we often think too much about outcomes, but there is much to be learned from the process.
Rick: I find it’s amazing how much we can do when we have the right people in our corner. It puts our relationships in a whole new context.
Karen: It really does make a difference when you have people fueling your belief
Rick: We really need to find people that are going to pull the best out of us. Our friends, lovers, family. I also think it puts our responsibility to our family and friends in a new context. Are we supporting their dreams? We also have to be wary — is anyone in our circle holding us back with their negativity.
Karen: Or holding us back with their desire to protect us.
Karen: We can’t hold too tightly to our plans, we have to be open to other paths
Karen: I work with leaders that have support that is so stifling it’s preventing them from growing & moving forward.
Karen: Never forget the dream! ♦
