Send us a Text Message.In this episode, we discuss the importance of self-belief, goal-setting, and persistence in achieving success. We emphasize that personal limitations often stem from self-doubt and fear, and highlight the importance of having a clear and actionable plans. The conversation touches on the value of breaking down larger goals into manageable steps and continuously working towards them.We also discuss the significance of pushing oneself out of their comfort zone and taking risks as essential parts of personal growth. We also bring up the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals and being adaptable in the face of setbacks. Throughout the episode, the overarching message is one of resilience, encouraging listeners to persist through challenges and remain focused on their goals to achieve success.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here we are. Back in full effect.Oh my gosh. Anyways, the other story, this is our first time we're doing this, but we're recording it. Yeah, and we're recording.There's a pause. But the thing I was talking about last week is about how, you know, you have to follow through with what you're talking about. Change in terminology. And then you also have to understand that your words, yeah, give you the power. And having a clear and concise idea is what gives you, I guess, the direction of your life. And a lot of people just have these, like, wishy-washy dreams.Like, when you were talking about last week about how, oh, you know, maybe what I'll do is I'll get better at my job and then maybe the next job. And then maybe the next job. And it's like, no, just think of the top guy. Why not? What's holding you back? You.You say, no cap, no cap, and you're acting real sus. And that's where you live, girl. And, uh, no, so the second service I was talking to, good old Carlito, come on.Isn't that what's supposed to happen? And it's kind of crazy because when you start thinking about it, you realize that a lot of the time, the only thing that's holding you back is yourself. You're the one who sets the limitations and boundaries on what you can achieve.And I know it sounds cliché, but you really have to believe in yourself and have a clear vision of what you want. It's not just about having dreams, it's about having actionable goals and taking steps towards them every day.You know, like when you were talking about getting better at your job, you have to ask yourself, what does that actually look like? What are the specific skills you need to improve? What are the milestones you need to hit? And then you need to make a plan and follow through with it.Exactly. It's about breaking it down into manageable pieces and consistently working on them. And sometimes, you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone and take risks. That's how you grow and move forward.Right. And you can't let fear or doubt hold you back. It's normal to feel those things, but you have to push through them. Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in you and your vision.And be willing to learn and adapt. Sometimes things won't go as planned, and that's okay. You just have to be flexible and keep moving forward. It's all part of the journey.Absolutely. It's about persistence and resilience. Every setback is a learning opportunity, and every step forward is progress. So, keep your eyes on the prize and don't give up.
