What do you do when you know you care deeply about your work, but still find yourself hesitating, overthinking, or holding back?
In this conversation, Scott Perry of Creative on Purpose joins Judith of The Ocean Says Hi to explore why motivation isn’t the real issue for most purpose-driven people. Commitment is.
They talk about fear, self-sabotage, inner Wisdom, and the honest next step forward. Scott also shares the deeper meaning behind his new book, Intrepid: Dare to Make a Difference, and why meaningful work is almost always done better with and for the right people.
This is for solopreneurs, creatives, coaches, and difference-makers who want to stop waiting to feel ready and start making progress with more Clarity, courage, and intention.
