Ambition Beyond Hustle – How To Rethink Ambition To Achieve Impact & Excellence In Entrepreneurship
Quote:
Having a different view of ambition is what it normal for Marissa Loewen, a Founder & Business Coach who works with many neurodivergent clients. Those who are neurodivergent have often “been told they lack ambition, because their needs, the way that they look at the world, the way that they work, and the way they achieve success or even set goals might not necessarily fit with what we have said is ambition.”
Marissa also works with many impact-driven small businesses whose ambition isn’t necessarily measured in money, influence, or power. When I asked her what ambition could be for her clients, she told me, “It’s really that permission to pursue what they want on their own timeline, in their own capacity, and what it looks like it might be different.” She also highlighted the importance of asking for help as a part of ambition, to create ambition together with a support system to help you get things done, instead of feeling like you’re on a solo track.
“If we can actually tap into what fuels a person, what allows them to get up every day and say, ‘this is what I want to do,’ we’ve seen what ambition is”
