What is your ambition?
Do you find Ambition a dirty word?
So many people that I work with, at some point, will say “I’m not ambitious, I just want a few things to change in my life”.
Is that not ambition?
Why is being ambitious such a bad thing? Why do we apologise for it?
Maybe it’s a British thing, to not be ambitious. That you are either born with wealth (and therefore inherited wisdom and goals and desire?) or you weren’t. That deep down inside we do not have the American dream within us. That we are programmed to stay in place, because someone has got to do the work?
We don’t really know what to do with ambitious people who are out there, doing their thing, being all brazen with their goals, their desires. Who do they think they are? They think they are IT.
We are getting better at joining in. Let’s follow and learn from them. Let’s get in the flow of their vibe and hope it rubs off on us. Let’s be inspired to unleash our own ambitions. But hey, don’t get too big for your boots, keep it all safe, don’t get too carried away.
This is a big massive issue we have just got to get over. If you want change in your life, if you want to do the best for yourself and your family, whatever that looks like, then you are ambitious - and there is nothing wrong with that.
Being fulfilled and content can be your ambition.
Ambition does not have to be a 7 figure business, a Range Rover, a gated drive way. Ambition can be to live exactly how you want to live.
So what’s wrong with that?

Are you Ambitious?
I have always felt that I'm not ambitious enough. Happier to live in my comfort zone than to put myself out there and 'fail'. I've done my share of sleepless nights, worrying about work stuff, don't want to go back there.
