1. Redefining Success on Your Terms (00:06:11)
Discusses the importance of defining success based on personal values rather than societal expectations. This emphasizes the need to create a life that aligns with one’s true desires and passions.
“Most people live a life that is not designed by them or for them. They live a life that was designed by society, by a parental influence, by something they were good at, by something that was easy, they fell into it.”
2. The Importance of Structure and Process (00:10:00)
Marni and Jeremy discuss how having a structured process helped them transition from their life in Los Angeles to a more fulfilling life in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. They highlight the role of a structured approach in achieving long-term goals and making significant life changes.
“Having a structure in place allows you to sort of change and go back and review… It’s amazing. I can look back, you know, 8 years ago, and see what we were thinking about then, and everything kind of makes sense.”
3. Taking Action to Gain Clarity (00:08:09)
Explains the concept that action precedes clarity. This encourages listeners to take steps towards their goals, even if they are uncertain about the outcome, as taking action helps clarify what truly brings happiness and fulfillment.
“Humans cannot predict what will make them happy… Action actually precedes clarity. We can’t get clear or make a prediction if we don’t take action.”
