How does one find purpose in life? This interview with Trevor Owens of Lean Startup Machine changed my perception of what it means to find purpose, pursue passions, and make “the dream” possible.
The words of wisdom that stood out to me the most were:
“Do the thing that scares you the most. If you are afraid of starting a business, then that’s what you should do right now.” – Trevor Owens
Do the thing that scares you the most.
The thought of doing what scares us can be pretty daunting to some. Yet, it’s something we’ve all experienced. We all have that one thing that we really want to do, but for some reason, have held back.
Great advice. Is it always practical, though? This quote definitely gave me some food for thought. What scares me the most? What am I not doing?
Thoughts?
