011: I'm Calling My Own Shot

 

This week on Build Your Utopia, we had an incredible guest in Darieth Chisolm. Her story is truly inspirational.

Ben and Josh were both incredibly impacted by her story.

More people should take chances like Darieth in improving their lives and creating more time with their loved ones. Love is what makes the world worth living.

At the end of the day, the people that you love are the most important attributes of every man and woman's life.

Both Ben and Josh share stories were they called their own shots.

Ben, for example when he was younger, was thinking about joining the military while he was in high school.

The recruiter kept stressing with him that you need to study and go to these pre-ASVAB classes. Ben refused.

Ben also stated that he was going to score very well. He called his shot.

When he took the ASVAB, he scored amongst the top of testers. The recruiter had nothing more to say.

Josh called his shot when he decided in January of 2013 to start his own company. He didn't know what he was in for at the time.

All he knew is that there was opportunity and he believed in himself. The rest is history and now ICE Accelerate Marketing Automation Services is now a leading Infusionsoft Certified Consultancy.

In addition, Ben and Josh also discuss how challenges drive them. Ben is bored in his role and has just about mastered it at a local Fortune 100 company.

Josh is constantly being challenged in business and although it is stressful at times, he loves the challenges his business presents to him.

Build Your Utopia has been magnetic with audiences so far! The show has had over 1200 downloads in less than 30 days, which is amazing. This is all thanks to you.

The podcast has not been easy at times. Josh and Ben both share some of their own personal challenges that they deal with every week in running a thriving Podcast.

Which brings to light just how easy it is, especially with automation driven by software like Infusionsoft, to start up a business now.

The barriers to start a business have dropped monumentally in today's digital age.

On a closing note, all of our successful guests up to this point have talked about having Gratitude. During this week as you spend it with your loved ones, chowing down on Thanksgiving dishes, remember everything that you are thankful for.

Not only is this food for the soul but it also fuels the positivity that you create for yourself, giving you your best energy to accomplish wonders.
