CYBLN 31: How To Live The Life You Choose And Not Just Exist

SUMMARY SHOW NOTES:

Life is not just existingIn this episode my guest Kimanzi Constable shares How To Not Just Exist But Live The Life You Choose. You will hear how he went from bankruptcy and a job that he was barely making ends meet to now have racked up over 300 thousand miles speaking to audiences all over the world.

Kimanzi also shared how he went from being over 300 pounds in weight 104 pounds in about 3 – 4 months. He talks about how his experience on a flight caused him to make a commitment to lose the extra weight. This process parallels the journey you can take to Choose Your Best Life Now. 

I also shared how the death of my mom triggered a series of event for me. Kimanzi also shared how the death of his dad at 54 years of age became a wake up call for him. Here are a few of the practical suggestions he gave:

  • Commit to your dream
  • How bad do you want it?Kimanzi
  • Cut back on some expenses for now
  • How could you make some extra income?
  • Having the finish line in sight becomes the driving force for you
  • Start slowly; this isn’t a sprint but a marathon

One of the questions that I ask is if he had a 6 month window to make a decision before that window closed, what steps would he take to decide how to live out his dream. Here are some of his answers:

  • Sit down and put a plan together
  • Do as much research as possible
  • there is no better place and no better time to do all this than right now
  • Take that first few steps

Quotes that were shared:

  • Ben Bershard Quote: At the end of your life we all ask did I live, did I love, did I matter
  • Seth Godin: Instead of wondering when your next vacation is going to be why not create a life you don’t have to escape from

 Final word:

  • The people who have succeeded have fallen but they know when to get back up

Book mentioned:

  • Dan Miller’s Book: 48 Days to the work you love

Tool / App  mentioned:

  • Trello

      Kimanzi (Twitter: @KimanziC),
      It was my pleasure. You did an outstanding job and left a strong impression on me and I am convinced, my audience. I’m seeing quite a bit of download so that’s very telling. Thanks again for taking the time to be with me and my audience. Looking forward to future times like this even as you move to Hawaii. Much success.
