Summary
In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an energetic guest, David Nurse who shares insights on how to attain your great goals, understanding true confidence, finding your life rhythm, and how to ultimately step up in life and business!
David Nurse is an NBA life and optimization coach, future bestselling author, mindset go-to guy, a worldwide keynote motivational speaker, a former professional basketball player (both international and domestic), and host of the Pivot and Go! Podcast. His new book, Pivot & Go is a compelling, hands-on blueprint to changing course and leading the life you want to live—today.
As a professional basketball player, David wanted to be an athletic NBA player but did not realize. Nonetheless, he understands that everything he puts out wasn’t a waste but actually the best setup for something better to come. He found the opportunity after one door closed. He strives to figure out what he can specialize in and found his niche. That made his mission, to be a coach in the NBA.
By fate and with hard work, David became a coach for the Brooklyn Nets, where he personally helped over 150 NBA players with their personal and professional development both on and off the court. Also, he has been invited to speak in over 50 different countries on the topics of overall personal development, confidence building, leadership, and motivational growth.
David really believes that it is about finding the clarity of what the great is and having the purpose behind your passion. The importance of enjoying the process of getting your small goals towards your huge goals to make it worth it. However, he emphasizes on beware of taking the good along the path and not your great. This is one thing that most people really hold them back from.
Presently, David enjoys helping and encouraging players with true passion and energy. Seeing them succeed into their life joy rather than just their life success. Happily leading others to be able to lead themselves so they can lead others as well!
