W Business Growth Via Social Media Speakers: Nate Lindquist

Workshop Room 4

Why settle for ordinary results when you know you’re ready for world class?

As a leader of your life and business, when is good enough truly good enough?

There’s a danger to being so busy that you become ordinary. It’s a huge risk having something great with which to serve the world and keeping it locked beyond an invisible bottleneck. Being so busy doing causes you to miss out on the one extraordinary power in you that can make or break your health, your business, your level of freedom and your ability give to those you love and to serve the world. If you haven’t truly tapped into this element, you’ll always find yourself in a state of “almost” or “if this happens, then I’ll win” – working too hard and too long, all while waiting for the break – and not making room for it. When it comes to monetizing your products, services and ideas, scaling your business profitably and creating the freedom to live in a state of constant fulfillment and success - you only need one simple guide. Discover… The GIFTS® Formula.

Workshop Room 4

Why settle for ordinary results when you know you’re ready for world class?

As a leader of your life and business, when is good enough truly good enough?

There’s a danger to being so busy that you become ordinary. It’s a huge risk having something great with which to serve the world and keeping it locked beyond an invisible bottleneck. Being so busy doing causes you to miss out on the one extraordinary power in you that can make or break your health, your business, your level of freedom and your ability give to those you love and to serve the world. If you haven’t truly tapped into this element, you’ll always find yourself in a state of “almost” or “if this happens, then I’ll win” – working too hard and too long, all while waiting for the break – and not making room for it. When it comes to monetizing your products, services and ideas, scaling your business profitably and creating the freedom to live in a state of constant fulfillment and success - you only need one simple guide. Discover… The GIFTS® Formula.
