[Quietly Ambitious Podcast] The Finale | 131
February 9, 2023 • 54 MIN
There once was a woman who had a nagging idea but was terrified to share it with the world. It was an idea that wouldn’t leave her (even though it felt ridiculous and not for “someone like her”), and she didn’t really have a clue what she was doing. But she took the leap, she committed to doing it for at least a year, and she had no idea that it would become the key to not only finding but also bravely using her voice. Eventually she used it to support a whole new business, documenting every failed experiment along the way, and happily calling in clients who shared how much it meant to them, and she even used it to help her write and release a book into the world. It became something she loved to do, something she KNEW she was good at, and one of the best decisions she ever made. This is the story of the Quietly Ambitious podcast, and this is the final episode. * Work With Me: http://ruthpoundwhite.com/mentoring/ * Get the Quietly Ambitious book - https://ruthpoundwhite.com/book * For episode show notes & links, head to: https://ruthpoundwhite.com/podcast/ * Sign up to email updates and exclusive bonus podcast episodes: https://ruthpoundwhite.com/podcast
