S5E2 The Secrets of Success with Trunnis Goggins, II

from Sol Rising · host Amanda McKoy Flanagan

Have you ever wondered what is in a person that drives them, almost compels them, to do the things necessary to achieve whatever it is they want to do? Whether it's starting a business, getting sober, living in true purpose, or successfully moving through any major life transition, what is that "thing" that pushes a person to go until they reach their dreams vs. someone who gives up? Join Amanda and her guest, Trunnis Goggins, II, U.S. Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and author for an upbeat and introspective conversation about how to tap into inspiration & execute your dreams using Trunnis' original framework, the 4 P's: Purpose, Passion, Planning & Persistence. Listen as these two hard charging yet soulful seekers of success talk about: 🔥How passion drives persistence; without passion you will not endure the tough spots 🔥 The sacrifice required to get what you want out of life 🔥 How perspective shapes success: what we focus on gets bigger so make sure it's positive 🔥 The moment of awakening that occurs before every transformation 🔥 Is it intrinsic motivation, childhood experiences, or personality that creates unstoppable drive? 🔥 The importance of serving your purpose and not someone else's Trunnis Goggins, II is a U.S. Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and author known for transforming military-honed discipline into innovative ventures that uplift communities and empower individuals worldwide.
