#87: A week and a half ago, I flew to Portland for the World
Domination Summit -- a conference with an admittedly
eyebrow-raising title.
The conference is hosted by Chris Guillebeau, the New York Times
best-selling author of multiple books, including The Art of
Non-Conformity. He was also a previous guest on this podcast.
I've wanted to check out WDS for years, so I was thrilled when
Chris asked me to give a presentation there.
Then he mentioned that my presentation should be three hours long,
which sounded terrifying. But that's all the more reason to say
yes.
I choose my own eyebrow-raising topic, How to Afford Anything, and
... promptly procrastinated on planning for several months. Yeah,
that definitely happened. #guilty
Then, at the beginning of July, I flew into a frenzy, called a few
friends for advice, scanned over several books, watched multiple
talks for inspiration, and isolated myself in a remote, empty house
for several days. (Past guest Cal Newport would call this a "deep
work retreat.") The result was a half-day workshop that synthesized
many of the ideas about money that I've formed after six years of
nonstop reading, writing, talking and thinking about this
topic.
In today's episode, I share the first part of this presentation.
Today's episode focuses on myths, assumptions and limiting beliefs
that we hold around money, work and life.
This is the first of a three-part series. In episodes 89 and 91,
I'll share the second and third parts of the talk.
