- 💍 Commit to It | Pulse Of The Nation
Commitment. It’s a concept often referred to in relationships, but not too often in business. It is a concept our founder, Parker knows all too well. (More on that below 👰🏻♀️🤵🏻…)
Oftentimes, humans struggle to commit. Scenarios with endless possibilities run through our heads. What if it goes wrong? What happens if I want out? What if my plan doesn’t work?
I’ve personally struggled with that concept in many facets of life. From business, to relationships, there are many questions that run through my head. But the magic 🪄 really happens, once you commit.
Almost 5 years ago, Parker and I committed to each other and Elevation Nation. To continue to tell stories, to learn and to elevate. That commitment has lead to 300+ podcast episodes and thousands of lives impacted.
This didn’t come without fear of commitment. We both were scared to dive into this crazy concept. But fast forward to where we are now. That commitment to each other and Elevation Nation has been the catalyst for our success. Here’s to commitment, both in business and in love ❤️!
