Episode Synopsis

What are you most excited about, right now?!
Yesterday, I couldn’t have answered that question for you. That’s this week on Real Talk...a podcast about voice over and other stuff.

So, what are YOU excited about?
My point is: I need excitement and FUN in order for my brain to get motivated enough to do...anything. If that is NOT you, lucky! Knowing this about myself, understanding this about myself has been helpful. So if you’re not sure if this is you...think back to anything you have ever accomplished in your life. Why did you do it? What was the thing that got you out of bed? How did slug through the “I’m tired’s” and “I don’t wanna’s”... ? What was it?
My last podcast episode was about leaving your usual surroundings for new inputs...taking a vacation is one way to do it, a walk, whatever you need. New inputs lead to new and fresh ideas, perspectives, and ways to solve old problems. And one thing leads to another….
Hence this podcast: Get excited about something!
For me, I know that safety is an important value of mine. In this case, it was financial safety that I was looking back on. Over a decade ago, I moved here to Twin Falls, Idaho for a radio job...I was broke as a joke, in debt, starting my career. I discovered Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps. It took me about 3 years to become debt free: paid off the credit cards, student loans, I already owned my car outright. And I still loosely follow Dave Ramsey’s “Baby Steps.”
Today, I checked in on those “Baby Steps” and I’m still debt free (except for my house), I have 6 months of expenses saved, and I’m working on increasing my monthly retirement savings.
Wait…I thought you said you only do stuff that is fun and exciting to you?! How is following Dave Ramsey’s “Baby Steps” FUN to you?!
I donno...it just is. Maybe it’s that safety and security value of mine? Maybe it’s the realization that when my car needs to be fixed, I just fix it. For me, having a strong foundation allows me to chill out more, worry less, and actually have more fun.
So, what excites you, right now?! Figure it out, then loop it into your quarterly goals...that’s what helps me, hopefully it can help you too.
