    #85 - Now, Not How: The Art of Immediate Action

    In this episode I’m diving into the transformative power of taking action—right here, right now. Inspired by Noah Kagan's new book & insights, and my own journey, I explore why so many of us get stuck in the planning phase, endlessly waiting for the 'perfect' moment that never arrives. From personal anecdotes of triumphs and setbacks to the common pitfalls of overcomplication and the fear of imperfection, I unravel the threads that hold us back. But more importantly, I'll arm you with practical, actionable strategies to break free from the cycle of procrastination. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out on your journey, this episode is a call to embrace the beauty of action, to learn by doing, and to redefine failure as a stepping stone to success. So, if you're ready to shed the weight of 'how' and embrace the liberating simplicity of 'now,' tune in and take the first step towards turning your dreams into reality.

    Returning guest Dan Worthington updates us as to his ecommerce progress having moved from Amazon to his own store on Shopify in the last year.

    Working with influencers and now creating celebrity collaborations all over the world Dan is on a meteoric rise with his brand, and the future looks so exciting.

    I managed to catch up with Dan at a little marine cafe not far from my house here in Phuket, Thailand where we have an in-depth chat about why he moved to Shopify, how he’s grown his brand, how to approach influencers, a crazy exciting surprise he didn’t tell me about before the podcast and what’s next on his journey both for his business and his travel plans.
