At 41:30, Amy talks about having a “high capacity for zero.” When was the last time you started at zero and what did you learn?

[@hyperchord]

I learned how quickly things can go back to zero and that zero is sometimes not as bad as I think

Singapore...I am ready... I gave up my job but was not sure of myself. Had a good job but wanted to obey the Lord.... am contented though I do not have much but had peace n He is all I need

[@kathymcdonald4157]

I loved the concept of having a high capacity for zero. I had never heard it before. Recently I made the decision to walk away from what was feeling like treading water in my direct sales business. It kept me on the scoreboard, but it was sucking the joy out of my work. As a result, my numbers plummeted, but I stuck to doing new activities outside my comfort zone, and seeking input from people who had succeeded doing what I was attempting. Meanwhile, I watched my peer group outpace me by miles as I hovered just above zero, still holding to the decision to stay the course on new roads. Hearing about the capacity for zero came at just the right time. It's an attribute. YAY!!!
