The “R” List
When I started my journey to find the “next version of me” I did what I later discovered was my go-to habit when I was feeling unsettled. In my darkest times, I have always unconsciously done the same thing.
I RESEARCH what others have done to solve the problem I’m trying to solve, I go deep into what I call the “RABBIT hole” of that topic and READ everything I can find and, finally I REACH out to other people (Coaches, Authors, Influencers, Professors….really anyone) who have experienced what I am going through.
Following this process has always led me to new ideas, resources and people that have changed my life.
In the spirit of helping you jumpstart your journey, the “R” (Resource) List is a living collection of books, articles, websites, programs and people that might change your perspective and push you forward as you search for and create the next version of YOU.
