This is the end, sort of. I am taking a break from the podcast after putting out over 250 episodes, I'm sharing why and why and when we need to give ourselves permission to take a break. Let this episode help you recognize where you need to take a break in your own life and what that looks like. If you're hearing this episode and you want inside the Academy, email me at dave@davemoreno.ca and I will reply to you with a deal you cannot refuse. 

Back on the Versus Challenge with a really important one - the brain versus the mind. Too many people feel they're not smart, skilled, or experienced enough, often pointing fingers at their brains. But that's a misconception.Your mind is a powerful tool, constantly available and eager to evolve according to your needs. I'm sharing how to shift your perspective from blaming the brain to nurturing and empowering your mind. Join us in the Academy: https://davemoreno.ca/academy/

Taking a quick break from our Versus Challenge to break down standards. Last week, we explored the dynamic between patterns and standards. Many of you have asked important questions: How do you set effective standards? How do you implement them in your life?This episode is dedicated entirely to RAISING YOUR STANDARDS. This is your opportunity to learn practical strategies and insights that can transform your approach to success. Raise your standards with the Academy: https://davemoreno.ca/academy/

This is a quick and important lesson - the difference between a pattern and a standard and why the difference matters. This week, we're diving into the concept of patterns: what they are, when they can work in your favor, and when they might hold you back. The solution? STANDARDS. It's time to embrace the wisdom of the world's most successful individuals and adopt the standards that can elevate your life. Listen to this episode to find out how. Ready to raise your standards?

This is the second episode of our Versus Challenge, I'm breaking down wellness vs. illness as a business owner. We'll explore what contributes to your WELL-BEING and what leads to feeling ILL. Understanding this process is vital for your personal growth and future success, helping you navigate achievements without the accompanying challenges that often arise. 

Today's episode is launching my new "Versus Challenge". Have you ever experienced a surge of incredible energy that allowed you to work without emotional distractions? Conversely, have you ever felt weighed down by low energy and heavy emotions? This isn't just a coincidence; it's a common pattern many entrepreneurs face. Recently, I created content on this topic and shared it with a group of clients, and I want to explore it further with all of you. This episode is dedicated to discussing why this happens and how you can prevent it. Learn more about the Academy: https://www.davemoreno.ca/academy

What if I told there were only ever THREE problems inside of your business? Whatever problem you're experiencing - I can guarantee you it comes down to one of these three things. In this episode, I'll share how you can utilize them in your own business and why understanding them is so incredibly valuable. 

I've been working on new content for my clients and in this episode, I'm sharing something that came up while I was working on this. One of the ways I teach people within my Academy about success and happiness is by having a really good job description. If you had the ability to write the description for your job of living your life - what would it be? Let's dive into it in this episode. 

I remember when I was getting certified as a coach, my mentor would say “so what” to people she was coaching through difficult things. I remember the reaction I had - that is so harsh and disrespectful. Imagine saying that to someone who just broke down telling you the thing that's holding them back….it felt nuts. BUT, I actually learned the power of it. Why and how to use it. AND…what was actually missing from it to make it the most powerful phrase you can say in troubled times. In this episode, I'm sharing how to complete that sentence to make it the MOST meaningful and powerful possible. Join the Academy: https://davemoreno.ca/academy/

So many people are out there seeking permission from other people to do what they want to do. STOP IT. You don't need permission. You need support. There is a difference. I recorded this podcast for you on what it's like to stop asking for permission and start asking for support. This shift will allow you to finally give YOURSELF permission for what you want, what you really really want.  Join the Academy: https://davemoreno.ca/academy/

Do you spend time thinking about, worrying about, or comparing yourself to your competition? Do you know who your competitors are? Do you get stuck in being in competition?

Every entrepreneur is very familiar with these emotions. There is value in stress, anxiety, and even depression, but what is it? And what do we do with it? I'm diving into the value of these emotions and what to do about them in this episode. Because here's the thing - stress and anxiety are indicators you have lost the present moment, and knowing how to get back to that can make all the difference. 

Today I am addressing one of the main problems that happens with the entrepreneur, what it is and what to do about it. It's a decision we have to make every single day that we may not even realize. Recognizing this choice and making it properly has the power to change everything for your health, wealth, and life.
