Ep. 125 - Great Things Happen Within The Margins

Are you a perfectionist like me (Robert)? Do you plan everything to a “T” or pack your schedule so tight that you have no room to breathe? Have you heard some guru say, “You have a book in you”?

These are some of the things we explore in this week’s episode. It’s a bunch of life and business lessons we learned from writing our first book and taking a leap of faith and driving the country for six weeks promoting it. 

There were two major things we learned. 1) Just do it - Stop waiting for the perfect moment to write or finish the book. 2) Leave margin for the unexpected to happen. Some of the best opportunities came from chance meetings that were not planned. 

So, even if you don’t write a book, the points we share are relevant to your life and business. Because it was from the process of writing and promoting the book that we realized that perfectionism is overrated and the best things in life happen in the margins.
