Raising Your Ambition with April Adams Pertuis EP: 138

If we look at the person we used to be and who we are now, I’d say one of the things that would be different is our ambition – or level of ambition. For a lot of us, it’s more likely that our ambitions change or even diminish over the years, and this could be due to a number of reasons.

But what does ambition really mean? Why are so many people conflicted about whether being ambitious is a good or bad thing? Should we have more ambitions in life, or less? In a recent event I attended hosted by bestselling author and high performance coach Brendon Burchard, one of my biggest takeaways was the need for us to raise our ambitions. 

Today on the show, I talk more about ambition, and invite you to join me as I share with you:

• The different times in my life as a college graduate and new wife when ambition coupled with sheer determination served me well
• How ambition showed up again for me years later, even after experiencing disappointments and failures
• Why raising your ambitions is crucial to elevating the kind of life you are living
• My next ambitious goals for LIGHTbeamers that I’m throwing out into the universe

How we define certain things in our life – contentment, happiness, success … these change over time. But I believe that what doesn’t change is our desire to live our best lives, and in order to do that, we have got to do two things: raise our ambition AND take determined action towards our goal every single day.
