EP258: (REPLAY) How to Unleash Your Ideas with Becky Blades

60 Mindful Minutes

We live in a culture that values follow through and abhors quitting. But what is the hidden cost of all the things we never start because we’re afraid we might not follow through? To Becky Blades, the author of Start More Than You Can Finish: A Creative Permission Slip to Unleash Your Best Ideas, the value in acting on our ideas is not measured in grand planned finishes. The value is in each and every start. This week, Becky shares how we can all develop our inner “startistry’ and end the myth that not finishing equals failing.
