And there's a lot in that because it's not always about what I'm doing, but who I'm becoming and the identity around my future self as an entrepreneur, as a leader, as a person, as a man." — Jordan[30:28] “ Your business will never surpass your level of personal development, so wherever you have that bottleneck in your life, the thing that you're avoiding or you're ignoring or you won't seek help on, that is where you're going to stay stuck.”— Jordan[38:47] " In all of the dimensions of life, and one of the things that I've latched onto is just this simple quote, which is: progress equals happiness.” — JordanOur GuestJordan Godbey is the founder of GrowthCommunity, a platform that helps experts, coaches, and consultants scale their impact through transformational online communities.
