S2 EP1: Slowing Down to Speed Up
Road to Reinvention
03/31/23 • 10 min
Where do we draw the line? Do we necessarily need to be at every conference? Do we need to join every single mastermind because it is offered to us? Do you even know the value you’re adding to the room you’re standing in or assessing why you are even there in the first place?
That’s why, in this episode, Sherrell wants to talk about what it really means to slow down in order to speed up. Having some of her greatest breakthroughs come through stillness, tune in as she discusses silencing the noise and why “quiet is where the real work gets done.”
KEY POINTS:
Are you falling victim to grind culture?
“When it’s your season, it’s your season.”
Why you need to slow down and get mindful
Where do you need to slow down?
QUOTABLES:
“The binary of either grind or fail is starting to be changed and starting to be questioned and attacked and altered. Because now it's about how do I actually work smart? How do I actually accomplish what I want to accomplish but not sacrifice so much of myself in order to do so.”

And you just have to keep on going.”
