Today Rowena and Shelley not only wrap up their conversations about Essentialism; The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown but they also bring together a few thematic threads from the other two books featured in this season — the Four Tendencies and The Lazy Genius Way.
Rowena shares how embracing the essentialist principles of ‘Explore’, ‘Eliminate’ and then ‘Execute’ in your career or business can lead to greater confidence.
When you combine the Essentialist approach with knowing yourself better (our top takeaway from The Four Tendencies) and naming what matters (our top takeaway from The Lazy Genius Way) these ideas all intersect to make you feel more confident.
And here’s the best part about stepping into your confidence and discovering your “highest level of contribution,” as Greg puts it… You find more ways to get paid to be YOU and really do work that comes easily to you and that is aligned with your strengths.
