What Now? What Next?
It happens to all of us. We decide to act, put all of our passion and effort behind that action, and it doesn’t go as planned. This setback is not final; it is simply feedback. How we react to this feedback can determine our path for incremental improvement and future success.
Marlo explores the cycle of success through intentional action while providing tools anyone can use. Learn to navigate uncertainty, evaluate negative feedback, and embrace the power of vulnerability. Together, we will elaborate on two equations to give more clarity to each individual’s purpose:
Passion + Intention = Purpose Time + Energy+ Money = Purpose
It All Comes Full Circle
In reality, most of us have had tremendous amounts of success in our lives, whether achieving educational milestones, securing career advancement, or excelling at a new hobby. However, soon after we achieve our lofty goal, we find ourselves thinking that something is missing. The never- ending cycle of striving and achieving begins once again.
After interviewing individuals across three continents, Marlo introduces his unique concept: the ‘Spectrum of Joy.’ This framework guides us to discover enduring contentment alongside our accomplishments, culminating in a pivotal step that ties together our cycle of striving and achieving.
