How do you keep going when nothing is working? How do you deal with unanswered prayers? No matter how ‘good’ things appear, most of us are still hoping for SOMETHING. At the end of 2023, I found myself in tears, unable to trust the process. My hope was lost, I had so much frustration and I was just over it. Here’s how I found my way back to clarity and peace. I hope it helps you too. Let me know what you think! All links mentioned below: https://abiola.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Also, thank you SO much for sharing and celebrating the podcast.

In this episode, I share some of my anchors for the next 365+ days ahead: Unapologetically ask for what you want and need - let go of the idea of self-sufficiency If it’s not a clear ‘yes’, then darling it’s a ‘no’ - so let them go Cry now, the boss up - how to feel all the feels and then move forward Dare to dream - why it’s okay to aspire for the highest version of your life Keep your appointments - enough said For all the links, videos etc. mentioned in this episode, take a look at the shownotes: https://bit.ly/Playbook24 Contact email⁠⁠: takewhatyouneed[at]sbmcreative.com Get the podcast to your inbox (incl. links to clips and items mentioned in the episode) ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://abiola.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Take What You Need on social ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@takewhatyouneedpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/takewhatyouneedpodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Abiola on social ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/@abxola⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/abxola/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/abxola/message

It all started with this tweet: “a16z and Sequoia are wrong 90% of the time…” If some of the greatest and smartest minds in the world have accounted for the fact that things not working out is a normal part of life, then perhaps the question ‘what if it doesn’t work’ isn’t even the right question to ask. I think we should be asking a better, more productive set of questions.  Now, look at your own life. Are there steps you’re afraid of taking? Are there things that feel so exciting, that deep down you want to pursue but they feel ‘too risky’? Instead of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing, ask yourself, 'how am I going to hedge against this risk?'. And maybe, just maybe you’ll get unstuck.
