“One thing you have to realize is there is no such thing as failure. Failures are just road signs that lead you to more successes”. – Oprah Winfrey
In this week’s episode, Lori Allen talks with our Radio host, Jody Mayberry, about what keeps people from accomplishing big things in travel writing, photography, and in life.
Lori says, “We buy into this dream of becoming a travel writer or seeing our photos on a billboard or a magazine and it is that dream that helps you reach the end goal. The idea of that dream governs all of your actions.”
Our programs provide the steps to becoming a travel writer or photographer but sometimes there are things that hold people back from getting started…
…Fears
…Responsibilities
…Monetary decisions
…Personal challenges
“Sometimes the step is right in front of you, but you may be confused as to how to accomplish it,” explains Lori.
Lori suggest these steps for achieving goals…
…When you open the door and it’s the wrong door, listen to your gut and know it isn’t a failure – it’s a road sign.
…Success isn’t achieved in setting a goal, it is achieved in the ability to put one step on top of the next and when you hit a road sign, turn in the other direction and keep going.
…You know what is possible for you because you’ve done it – build on that to reach your goals.
Successful author and speaker, Tony Robbins says the secret to success is finding someone who is doing what you want to do and follow their lead.
We have so many success stories and so many road maps… somewhere in there is your step.
And as Lori says…
“Don’t get so wrapped up in taking the steps that you forget to enjoy the world of travel writing and photography. Get out there, make mistakes, get messy, try new wine, meet new friends, have fun with it.”
