From birth it's estimated we hear the word no 400x per day. It's amazing we try anything new because that's a lot of negative and limiting conditioning. In this episode, the dynamic polymath, Angela Marie Hutchinson, explains the life skill I wish I'd learned a lot sooner: How to redirect your no's to Create Your Yes. 


Angela, who is a showrunner, screenwriter, producer, television host, working mom and former talent agent, created this actionable 12-step strategy for success based on her TEDx talk Create Your Own Yes, When You Keep Hearing No.


Her advice is both inspiring and practical. My key takeaways are:


Progress is success
Track your success and look for patterns so you can replicate what works for you
Measure your inchstones instead of the milestones
Get unstuck by showing up and being generous
Don't just look ahead - use your peripheral vision too
