047 | How to Be Fueled By What We Do with Dave Ellis

Dave Ellis, RD, CSCS is the President of Sports Alliance Inc. and creator of the Fueling Tactics® system.  Dave's three step Fueling Tactics® system is simply the widest used and copied fueling system in sports and one could argue that Dave is simply the most prolific influencer in the world of sports nutrition!  With over thirty years of work and counting in the trenches of big time athletics, few can measure up when it comes to the variety of exposures of Dave's career.

Have you ever questioned whether you really love what you do? Does your heart burn with passion for your work?

Dave Ellis believes that with passion, work becomes easy. That working 12 or 14 hour days won’t phase you because you’re fueled by what you do.

The question is how do you determine what your passion is and then put it into motion?

Dave shares how he knew he had started in the right field and that staying up at all hours of the night to do the work was never a bother. How leaving the comfort of a stable job was exciting because he knew he was doing what he loved!

If you’re tired of dreading every Monday and not doing what you love, then this episode is a MUST LISTEN!

Enjoy, and thank you for listening and tuning into Success Unfiltered!

P.S. WANTING to be an entrepreneur is exciting. But BEING one isn’t always sunshine and roses! You have to be driven by something more than the desire for freedom and flexibility. You need the passion that comes from your personal WHY. If your WHY isn’t strong enough, chances are you won’t cross the finish line. But if it IS, you’ll become unstoppable. Do you know WHY you do what you do, and is it strong enough to see you through? Grab my FREE checklist, “5 Steps To Your Ultimate WHY” and find out if your passion and purpose are on point (and what to do to reignite them if you have to!)
