Welcome to the My Journey to Fearless Podcast. This show is for those of you who no longer want to settle for an unfulfilling day job. Who know you’re meant for more. Who are ready to do great things, make an impact on the world and help change others lives. You’re in the right place if you’re ready to step into your greatness and out of your comfort zone and create your most amazing life.

If you’re at the start of your journey - if you’re still looking for your passion or purpose, or maybe you haven’t settled on a business idea yet, or perhaps you have your idea but you need help to put it out into the world then you’re in the right place.

My name is Laura Dixon and I help people who feel unhappy in their job to find their superpower, the thing they’re great at, the thing that brings them so much happiness and then understand how they can use this to start a business that has the power to completely transform their life.

This podcast matters so much to me because I see so many people settling because they don’t know what they want to do or they don’t have the confidence to try. I often walk past my old office building and see the same people walking in there to start their day - the same people that were there when I worked there several years ago. They look grey and defeated. I know that some of them were unhappy way back when I worked with them, yet they’re still walking into that office everyday because they don’t see the potential inside themselves and that’s so sad!

I want to help them wake up, I want to bring them back to life and show them just what is possible for them if they choose to see it. I want them not to have to keep living life in black and white - I want them to live their life in full colour - not just full colour - Ultra HD!

I don’t want you to be one of these people still walking into your office in 2, 3, 4 years time looking grey and feeling like your job has killed your soul.

I want you to be living your best life in 2, 3 or 4 years time! But to get there you have to start and this is why I’ve created this podcast - to help you get started!

I’m Laura and every week I’ll be bringing you a new episode where I’ll share stories, inspiration and practical things you can do to begin your journey, overcome your fears and take your first steps towards living your life in Ultra HD!

Are you ready to start your journey to fearless?

On my daily dips into various Facebook groups for entrepreneurs I see hundreds of posts about “how do I find my passion?”, “how do I find my life purpose?”, “I’m 30/40/50 and I still don’t know what my passion is”. The not knowing is holding so many women back from living their lives. They are settling for a crappy day job that doesn’t fulfil them and that’s slowly killing their soul while they wait until they know what their passion or life purpose is.

I see them waiting, settling for years and it makes me so sad.

So if you’ve been struggling to find your life purpose or your passion then this episode is going to help you so much!

The good news is that you already have all of the answers inside of you. I don’t just believe this - I know it. In this episode I’m going to show you where to look within you for the answers you need.

In this episode I share with you:

*How finding your life purpose is like a jigsaw puzzle - first you need to find all of the pieces of the puzzle and then put them together in a way that gives you the clear picture.

That we need to stop looking outside of ourselves for the answers - we already have the answers we need within us.

*The story of how I finally found my passion after YEARS of searching for it and what this taught me about where we can all find the answers.

*Where you need to look to find the pieces of your own puzzle.

*Specific questions to ask yourself.

*How to put the pieces together in a way that makes sense.

If a fear of not being smart enough/qualified enough/expert enough/knowledgeable enough stops you from starting a business then this episode is going to help you so much.

We all know the story…

You’ve been dreaming of owning your own business for years now

You have an idea, get excited, do research, spend hours/weeks planning your logo, brand and what you want to offer and for a few weeks even a couple of months you’re pumped about it!

But then here come the doubts…

“what are you thinking?”

“You don’t have enough knowledge to do this”

“You’re not an expert”

“You should stop wasting your time”

“You need to get a business degree or this particular qualification before you can start this business”

“nobody will take you seriously”

Often we think we need to be an expert in order to be able to share our message with other people and it’s just not true for 3 reasons:

1. Is anyone ever an expert?
2. Just because you are less experienced than someone else it doesn’t make what you have to say any less valid.
3. It can actually be a huge benefit to be closer to where your audience are on their journeys

You have something amazing to share with the world - your own story, your own experiences, your own spin on things. You are unique and therefore you can share your message with your audience in your own unique way.

They need to hear from you. They need your help.

Imagine if you had the answers they need - you had already been through the thing they were going through, you knew the shortcuts, you know in hindsight how they could navigate this journey in an easier way, you know how to make it less stressful and less painful for them.

But you choose not to help them. Not to start your business. Not to share your story, knowledge and experience with them.

If you do this then these people that you could help will have to take the journey on their own and do it the hard way, like you did, without all of the helpful knowledge you could give them.

So go back to that idea, get excited, do the research, plan what you want to offer and how you can help people, get pumped about it, and THEN TAKE ACTION. Put it out there into the world. Take the first step. Write your first blog post, your first social media post, record your first podcast episode, do your first Facebook live.

Tell your story and let people know how you can help them!
