#71 It just Keeps Getting Bigger with Terry Tucker, Founder of Motivational Check

When you’re small your world is small. You know little beyond your caregivers. And you long for love, attention, and safety.But then you grew, and your world expanded. You discovered friendship, joy, and belonging.  And then you grew some more and struck out on your own. The world was a big and wild place and you wanted to make your mark.  You worked hard and you faced challenges.  You probably started with a “regular” job. But somewhere along the way, you discovered that it wasn’t “big” enough for you. You wanted more!  Maybe you wanted to do something meaningful and make a greater impact. Maybe you wanted time flexibility and financial prosperity. Whatever your reasons, you took the leap into entrepreneurship and creating your own thing. And although you’ve faced challenges in the past, you had no idea that you’d be on a crazy rollercoaster (without a seatbelt).  The good news is that with every turn, fall, and loop you survive, your world gets bigger and more becomes possible. Some will decide it’s too much. It’s too hard. They’ll step down, play it safe, get a “job,” and make their world smaller.  But once you’ve gone big, it’s hard to go back. Because you can’t “unknown” what you know.       The brave will keep going. They’ll keep pushing through the challenges. And they’ll figure out a way to overcome!  And sometimes when we’re on the roller coaster ride, we need some inspiration. We need to be reminded that it’s possible.   So this week on my podcast I bring you Terry Tucker, Founder of Motivational Check. He has faced more challenges than most as a former SWAT Team Hostage Negotiator and 11-year cancer warrior. He has used 4 Truths to help him navigate the dips and turns in his life and business. Join us this week on Be the Wolf to hear his story and learn the Truths.      Connect with Genea: The 3 Secrets to Maximize Time and Increase Profits (that the business gurus won’t tell you) : http://ideservethisgift.com/  Book a Call with Genea: http://elevatebookacall.com/  Website: http://geneabarnes.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/genea-barnes/ Facebook business: https://www.facebook.com/geneabarneselevate/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geneabarnes/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@geneabarnes YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/geneabarnes  Connect with Terry: Website: https://www.motivationalcheck.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motivationalcheck  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sustainableexcellenceauthor/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-tucker-9b5605179/  Bio:  Terry Tucker is a motivational speaker, author, and international podcast guest on the topics of motivation, mindset, and self-development.
