I’ve been known to go a little bit overboard or become obsessive about certain areas of my life. When I was in middle school and high school, I was obsessed with movies; particularly horror films. I started to amass a collection at the time of VHS where every weekend I would go to a video store and buy as many VHS films as I could. The goal was to amass a collection that would rival even a Blockbuster video store. Eventually, I did the same with DVDs until I had thousands of movies between the two. I did the same with music. I wanted to have access to every song from every artist.
I get obsessive in business too. At one point, I had two different podcasts. Now I own 2 magazines, a digital network, a graphic and web design agency, a c coaching practice, a mastermind, the FITposium conference, my photo business, workshops, a photo studio. It’s a little obsessive. I’ve been obsessive in my personal life and health journey, too.
In today’s episode, I want to talk about the dangers of going too far.
“When you go overboard and push too far in any area, you can create not only diminishing returns, you can actually destroy any positive outcome you can have.”
