004 Taking the Scenic Route

Are you seeing the results that you want right at the speed that you thought you would? And if not, how does this make you feel right now? What would it look and feel like to you? A lot of times people want the quickest way to success. They want to get the cheat sheet to be able to get all the answers on the quiz. What if instead, you got on the bicycle and just saw where the bicycle takes you? Anniedi Essien and Christina Farinacci-Roberts discuss how they came to realize that slowing down can actually fasten up your journey. Highlights of the Episode: A Destination Wedding Journey:  The hosts share a humorous tale of a destination wedding journey that required multiple modes of transportation. It reminds them of how often in life they may be rushing through, seeking the quickest path to success without taking the time to savor the journey. The Importance of Slowing Down: They discuss the value of embracing uncertainty and trusting the process of slowing down, even when pursuing ambitious goals. They share personal experiences of starting their joint venture during a pandemic and the initial challenges they faced. Collaboration and Support: The hosts emphasize the significance of collaboration, camaraderie, and moral support in the entrepreneurial journey. They share how their partnership and support for each other helped them overcome obstacles and propel forward.

They suggest taking the time to savor the moments and consider how slowing down can ultimately lead to accelerated success. They invite listeners to share their experiences in the YouTube comments and explore the concept of the pause before the propeller. "We think about what our desired mode, our preferred mode of transportation is. I feel like I'm always wanting to be in that racecar. I'm so urgent, like I want to move to the next thing without hesitation. I want to go the fastest way possible. And I feel like in that adventure heading to that destination wedding, it gave me a wake-up call. Was I just racing through life? Was I just on this fast track? Did I really need to, perhaps, slow down to really take the scenic route?" - Christina Book a SWAG & S.O.U.L. Strategy Sesh with Anniedi and Christina ⁠here⁠.
