I was tired of just doing the services. And that's when I fell in love with helping people within the business. And then that's when I went through that kind of matriculation of, okay, what are the habits and characteristics of the people who are hitting home runs and being successful and what are the behaviors of the people who are getting in their own way? And unfortunately, I felt like, oh, wow, I was part of the group that was getting in their own way. And I said, well, how can I help my clients? How can I help myself become better? Because I had that epiphany, that epiphany was like, dammit, if I'm not a hundred percent, I can't give a hundred percent. If my cup's empty, how do I pour into other people?” – Luke (06:43) “You right now in your current state, you're more than enough. You have the absolute capacity to change your life and it starts with you. It's a decision you get to make. A lot of times I've been there where you feel helpless, you feel like you're not enough. You feel like kinda life's against you. And if you can just switch to one little paradigm shift that I learned …if you grow through what you go through, develop that thicker skin, tenacity, skill up in your resilience, you're gonna tackle the next thing stronger, more confident, with more belief in yourself.” – Luke (1:07:01) Resources & Links The Dan Nestle Show https://nestle.libsyn.com/ http://twitter.com/dsnestle https://www.linkedin.com/in/nestle https://www.facebook.com/dsnestle/ Luke Harlan https://www.lukeharlancoaching.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeharlan https://www.facebook.com/lukeharlancoaching https://www.instagram.com/lukeharlancoaching/ https://www.youtube.com/c/LukeHarlan
