Naked Ambition is the desire to push yourself to the next level without JUST outside factors being the sole purpose (deadlines, compensation, because you have to). It is striving to do something because you see how it can benefit you in the future, broadening your horizons. It’s also not being afraid to ask for help from those who have done it before and from those who can learn with you.

I interpret naked ambition as the internal desire to keep pushing forward, despite the naysayers. It’s setting a goal, opening yourself to vulnerability, taking informed risks, and having the conviction to succeed!
