We're diving deep into identifying areas in your life that are due for some improvement. From organization to limiting beliefs, we all have areas that need clarity and change before we can carry out the vision for our lives.   Today, we introduce you to two exercises we use to visualize the life we want. The "will no longer tolerate list" is an exercise where you identify those pesky things in your life that you no longer want to tolerate. Then we dive into the "wouldn't it be cool" exercise, which helps overcome those pesky barriers and taps into your positive energy for dreaming. We'll help you remove the things that need to go and envision what you most desire so that you can have everything you've ever dreamed of.   So, if you're ready to create a life you love and strengthen your relationship in the process, tune in.

Today we have an eye-opening conversation about the ever-evolving world of social media and its impact on our lives. We kicked things off with a discussion about our passion for Italy and how it inspired us to create content that truly resonates with our ideal audience. Recently social media has transformed into a platform for influencers and educators with curated content but the tides are turning!   The key to success and building an audience that sticks around is being true to yourself; let your personality shine through! However, as we all know, with great exposure comes great responsibility. We dive into the darker side of social media: the keyboard warriors, hate bots, and the cancel culture that can make anyone hesitant to share their true selves. How do we deal with trolls? We shared some insights on that too.   The conversation shifts to the evolution of social media, from personal posts to curated feeds, and now, the fascinating world of TikTok. We explore how this platform rewards good content and discuss two extreme examples of individuals leveraging their personalities to successfully build niche followings.   One essential lesson we've learned is the power of educating through storytelling. Whether you're entertaining or educating, it's all about the story you tell. We emphasize that the "why" behind your content matters the most and explain how you can find yours.

In this episode, we take you through the remarkable transformation from grueling 12-hour days in a physical business to the freedom and flexibility of the life we've created. Our focus wasn't tied to a specific location but centered around creating a lifestyle that truly resonated with us.   As we embarked on this new chapter, questions started to arise. When would our pursuit of success reach its endpoint? How would we afford the lifestyle we envisioned? To be honest with you, in the relentless pursuit of financial stability to support our desired lifestyle, we found ourselves caught in a never-ending cycle, longing for more.   It was at this point that we realized the need for change. We paused, took a step back, and began evaluating what we genuinely wanted our lives to look like. From there, we embarked on a profound journey of shedding the excess and material possessions we had accumulated over time. This process allowed us to strip away the superficial and focus on what truly mattered.   Join us as we uncover the power of reevaluating priorities, letting go of societal expectations, and embracing the essence of true joy and fulfillment. Our story will inspire and provoke thought, reminding you that recognizing when "enough is enough" empowers you to initiate change and create a life that aligns with your deepest desires.   What you'll hear in this episode: [2:11] Why we're here today. [4:38] The transformation from 12 hour days in a physical business to virtual business. [7:11] The basis of Rob's dream of success. [11:40] He didn't care where he lived, he just wanted the lifestyle. [13:34] Living in excess: When does it all end? How do you pay for it all? [16:10] In this effort to generate the income that I felt that I needed to live the lifestyle that I thought I needed, work started to erode my life. [20:35] What do we really want our life to look like? [23:38] The process of stripping off all of the things we had purchased. [26:01] When enough is enough, it's time for a change.   Get more information about Rob + Kim's Italia: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6352c7416c4cf33281b5ee8f Get additional podcast content here: https://www.patreon.com/fridate Get the Vision Board Course for Couples: https://fridateacademy.thinkific.com/courses/Ultimate-Vision-Board-Couples   Work One-on-One with Rob Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/coaching/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: @robmurgatroyd Connect with Kim on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd   Listen to the Next Chapter Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-chapter/id1657736966

Don't let uncertainty about your future hold you back. It's time to ask yourself what calls to you and pursue it with passion. By aligning yourself with your passions, you'll find clarity and develop a roadmap towards your goals.   Don't limit yourself by focusing solely on finances. Yes, money is important, but it's not the only measure of success. Consider the impact you want to make in the world and pursue your passions with the purpose of making a difference. Focus on what you would do if you knew you would succeed.   And think about what you would do all day, that you wouldn't get tired, and consider if it would make a positive contribution to the world. This will help you identify your true calling and passion, which will drive you to success. So, don't hold back from achieving your vision for your life. Pursue your passions with purpose and align yourself with your calling.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:15] Two things Rob hates to hear from a client as a coach. [9:00] Asking yourself what calls to you.

[21:50] Getting locked into a story of you not being able to figure it out. [23:15] If you knew you would succeed what would you do?

The upper limit is that point where we feel we can't surpass our current level of success, happiness, or love. We all have an upper limit, whether we recognize it or not. We're diving into how you can recognize it and experience breakthrough!   There are four key barriers: fundamental flaws, disloyalty and abandonment, the belief that more success brings a bigger burden, and the crime of outshining. These barriers can affect our relationships and our holistic well-being.   To break through these barriers, we need to challenge our negative beliefs, seek help from our partners and supportive communities, and focus on holistic practices that nourish our mind, body, and soul. By addressing these barriers, we can strengthen our relationships, enhance our well-being, and achieve our full potential in all areas of our lives.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:05] Kim's background in gymnastics  [3:10] What is the upper limit [8:10] The four barriers  [8:45] Fundamental Flaws [18:30] Disloyalty and Abandonment  [21:15] Believing that more success brings a bigger burden  [24:40] The crime of outshining  [33:30] Multiple barriers collide [37:00] Deflection [43:20] How to get past your barriers   Get Additional Private Podcast Content Here: www.patreon.com/fridate Get the Vision Board Course for Couples Here: https://fridateacademy.thinkific.com/courses/Ultimate-Vision-Board-Couples Apply to Be a Part of the Platinum Event Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/mastermind/ Work One-on-One with Rob Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/coaching/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: @robmurgatroyd Connect with Kim on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd   Listen to the Next Chapter Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-chapter/id1657736966

We're talking about the importance of having an exceptional relationship with your spouse and how it can positively impact every aspect of your life. We'll be sharing some of the bumpers that have kept us together, such as our morning and evening routine, and the importance of creating a family bumper that involves the entire family, not just our relationship. We believe that creating these bumpers can strengthen your relationship and create a sense of stability and security.   There are three other things that we've found to work, including our strategy for taking a month-long vacation to focus on our relationship and recharge. We believe that taking time away from our busy lives can re-energize us and reignite our passion for each other. It's important to make time for each other, even when life gets hectic. We understand how important it is to prioritize your relationship, and we'll be discussing how we make sure to have a "Fri-Date Day" instead of a "Date Night" every week to stay connected.   We hope this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice for creating and maintaining a healthy and fulfilling relationship with your spouse.   What you'll hear in this episode: [6:00] First Bumper: No Work At Night [16:45] Second Bumper: Traveling To Get Away and Destress [26:15] Final Bumper: Fri-Date Instead of Date Night   Get Additional Private Podcast Content Here: www.patreon.com/fridate Get the Vision Board Course for Couples Here: https://fridateacademy.thinkific.com/courses/Ultimate-Vision-Board-Couples Apply to Be a Part of the Platinum Event Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/mastermind/ Work One-on-One with Rob Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/coaching/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: @robmurgatroyd Connect with Kim on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd   Listen to the Next Chapter Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-chapter/id1657736966

We have discussed previously on the podcast the concept of the 3x rule when it comes to money. Essentially, no matter where you are on the money spectrum, on average, we think we would ultimately be happy if we made 3x our current income.   Turns out, this is not the case as each time you get closer to that number, your 3x increases as well. Studies taking place in the "blue zones" of the world, and interviews with centenarians, also show that money does not correlate with the longevity of life or happiness.   Rob and Kim share their perspectives on this topic as they are work their way through reading The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.   The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel - https://www.amazon.com/shop/kimmurgatroyd/list/7HQNWQBKYXKC?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfkimmurgatroyd_Y8F2R24457BQMMNVFGC0   Get Additional Private Podcast Content Here: www.patreon.com/fridate Get the Vision Board Course for Couples Here: https://fridateacademy.thinkific.com/courses/Ultimate-Vision-Board-Couples Apply to Be a Part of the Platinum Event Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/mastermind/ Work One-on-One with Rob Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/coaching/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: @robmurgatroyd Connect with Kim on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd   Listen to the Next Chapter Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-chapter/id1657736966

Do you frequently tell a story that begets pity upon yourself or your situation? We all have one. If you're unsure what it is, ask a close friend or spouse for insight.   This story may be holding you back from achieving more in your life. While the feelings it evokes may be understandable, it's important to recognize that it may be serving as a crutch that prevents you from moving forward.   Elevate your success and happiness by adopting a tradition of leaving behind these specific stories and reframing your perspective.

Every relationship has creative differences and we all have to learn how to handle them. When in a relationship with someone, it is not always possible to be in 100% agreement. To minimize conflicts, it is important to communicate in advance if the project is a collaboration or if one partner will take the creative lead. Additionally, it is important to recognize each other's strengths and weaknesses to understand where the other is coming from. Rob and Kim use a few comical examples from their own life, including Rob's "parachute pants", to discuss how they are working to overcome this challenge in their own relationship.   Gallups Strength Finder: https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/252137/home.aspx   Get Additional Private Podcast Content Here: www.patreon.com/fridate Get the Vision Board Course for Couples Here: https://fridateacademy.thinkific.com/courses/Ultimate-Vision-Board-Couples Apply to Be a Part of the Platinum Event Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/mastermind/ Work One-on-One with Rob Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/coaching/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: @robmurgatroyd Connect with Kim on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd   Listen to the Next Chapter Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-chapter/id1657736966

Moving to Italy has been a life-changing experience for both of us.

Competing with your spouse to be the alpha all the time can be extremely challenging and detrimental to your relationship. After all, you and your spouse can't possibly compete for alpha status in everything--it just doesn't work that way.    To maintain happiness in our relationship, we have found that it is essential to respect each other and understand our different roles in different situations. It is important to have a balance between taking the lead and taking a more supportive role. We'll share some of the hurdles we've overcome and seen amongst our friend group to help you balance this dynamic in your relationship so that both parties feel confident in their role in any situation.       Get Additional Private Podcast Content Here: www.patreon.com/fridate Get the Vision Board Course for Couples Here: https://fridateacademy.thinkific.com/courses/Ultimate-Vision-Board-Couples Apply to Be a Part of the Platinum Event Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/mastermind/ Work One-on-One with Rob Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/coaching/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: @robmurgatroyd Connect with Kim on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd   Listen to the Next Chapter Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-chapter/id1657736966

As an entrepreneur, it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that business is only one aspect of life. Your career and friend group can transition into one, which is exceptionally different than if you were working in a standard nine-to-five job.    Connecting with folks you want to be around - people that fill you with energy, provide lighthearted talk, and won't judge you amid any downturns in your business - will give you the proper balance of enthusiasm in your life that no career can bring.    Being around, or being, a “leg humper” can help you succeed in business, but this does not constitute a true friendship. This does not mean you shouldn't have people to reach out to for business questions, but don't let these connections overpower your circle of true friends.      Get Additional Private Podcast Content Here: www.patreon.com/fridate Get the Vision Board Course for Couples Here: https://fridateacademy.thinkific.com/courses/Ultimate-Vision-Board-Couples Apply to Be a Part of the Platinum Event Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/mastermind/ Work One-on-One with Rob Here: https://nextchaptershow.com/coaching/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: @robmurgatroyd Connect with Kim on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd   Listen to the Next Chapter Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-chapter/id1657736966
