No More Holding Back

Leslie Odom Jr. is the award-winning actor who played Aaron Burr in the musical Hamilton. But before he became the star he is, no one was giving him callbacks. The constant rejection was getting to him. So, one day, he asked a person he admired to lunch. And shared that he was thinking about quitting.

His mentor’s reply was unexpected. He responded “You can quit. But I’d love to see you try first.”

This shocked Odom. He WAS trying. He was going to auditions and taking everything offered.

But his mentor pointed out all the ways he could be taking ownership. All the ways Odom could make work for himself. And stop waiting for someone to give him permission.

That conversation changed everything. It wasn’t easy, but Odom made a promise to himself to never again wait for it. He says “the second he got off the couch and started doing things for himself, the universe met him more than halfway.”

Now, let’s take his mentor’s amazing advice for our own.

5 years from now, you’ll be thinking about this moment. The one where you decided to do a 6 month money challenge and make a small (but important) change for your future. No holding back friend!
