Episode #11 - No More Excuses with Tawana Williams

People often give excuses to avoid starting something new or trying something different. They worry about not having the right resources or skills, and are concerned about what others may think. As a result, they miss out on opportunities to reach their fullest potential and bring their best self to the world.

But now is the time to let go of these excuses and do what you were born to do – make hope come alive in your life.

This message is what you have been waiting for with Tawana Williams. She has overcome all challenges and gone against all odds for over 26 years now to become an agent of hope to this world. She was born without arms and became a victim of gang rape and raped by her stepfather and a cocaine addict for almost ten years. She has authored seven best-selling books and has traveled all over the world, motivating people and changing their lives; no wonder she is unarmed but very dangerous. Tawana could have created a list of over a thousand legitimate excuses, but she went far beyond the limits. You have no excuse!

In this episode, Tawana shares her story and why you should never make any excuse in life. We will look into why we make excuses, how making excuses affect our lives and our businesses and what we can do to overcome making excuses.
