Our resident 1000 Hours Outside goals expert, Jon Acuff is back for a second time on our podcast to help us accomplish what we want to accomplish this coming year. The third Friday in January (1/20/23) is known as "Quitter's Day" but Jon has practical and motivating advice for making it past Quitter's Day and continuing on with our intentions. Jon Acuff is a nine-times NeW York Times Bestselling Author as well as a INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker. You want to hear what Jon has to say! He teaches what works. With an incredible ability to break down the obstacles we face and find solutions that we can implement into our every day lives, Jon helps all of us live more fully. In this episode we talk through the traps of perfectionism and how to deal them in order to meet our goals. As Jon says, "Nothing gets awesome accidentally." Let's learn to be purposeful. Let's learn to be resilient. Let's learn how to take the momentum of a new year and use it to propel us forward. Even if we have more ideas that we can possibly get done, Jon has answers!
