Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.Episode: Make Reinvention a Habit to Max Out Your Potential (Dorie Clark)Welcome to Making It! This weekly show explores the lives and stories of entrepreneurs as they share their unique perspectives on their success and the path to making it. Episode summary: For Dorie Clark, the most alarming fear is getting to the end of your life and you say, “Oh, wow, I could have done so much more.” She believes that making it is about self-actualizing and maxing out your potential. Dorie asserts that if you keep doing the same thing, in the same way, all the time, you run into trouble. You will burn out. So keep reinventing yourself, which means keeping yourself fresh, learning new things, trying new things, keeping your skill set diversified. That way, reinvention is a habit. And while you’re at it, don’t take your success for granted. Celebrate your milestones and remind yourself of where you started. That way, life remains exciting.  “I wish I could say otherwise, but when it comes to making it, you have to work hard.” “We need to be aware that reinvention should be a constant process.”– Dorie ClarkGuest bio: A former presidential campaign spokeswoman, Dorie  Clark is a marketing strategy consultant, executive coach, author, and keynote speaker (with deep experience in virtual presentations) and a frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Entrepreneur, and the World Economic Forum blog.
