Podcasts about Goal

Dr. James Hewitt spent years teaching Fortune 500 companies and Formula One teams how to optimize performance—while ignoring his own advice. Then he found a lump in the shower. In this fascinating conversation, James shares how a late-30s cancer diagnosis forced him to confront a hard truth: he wasn't superhuman. We dive deep into the science of human performance, from why heart rate variability matters more than sleep tracking to how your mindset about stress can fundamentally alter your physiology. You'll discover why the "monk mode" mentality is flawed, how self-compassion beats perfectionism, why vacation research says 3-4 days works better than two weeks, and the 3P model that explains why high performers struggle to celebrate wins. Plus: why James speaks out loud in hotel rooms, his $15,000 watch collection paired with socks full of holes, and the Mount Rushmore of performance books you need to read.Dr. Hewitt's Website: https://drjameshewitt.comYou can pre-order my NEWEST book, Procrastination Proof, right now!In This Episode:Grab your very own Soundtracks: The Conversations Card DeckMake sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!You can grab a copy of my book All It Takes Is a Goal from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — it's the FIRST EPISODE OF 2026!! (Happy New Year!!!) And we're kicking things off with a little Q&A (answering all of YOUR questions!!). We're talking through what we'll do differently with baby #2 (and what we're keeping the same), how we think about screen time for Tate (& baby #2) AND ourselves, and how we navigate parenting style differences with friends as we build our village. We also get into preparing Tate for baby boy, whether sibling jealousy is inevitable, and how we're balancing friendships with people who don't have kids — without making it weird. Plus, we share the one thing that made parenting noticeably easier this year that no one really talks about, and our #1 goal for 2026 as we go from a family of three to four.

PSALM 40 1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD. 4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. 5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you: were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare. 6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. 7 Then I said, "Here I am, I have come - it is written about me in the scroll. 8 I desire to do your will, O my God, your law is within my heart. 9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O LORD. 10 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly. 11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me. 12 For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me. 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me. 14 May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. 15 May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame. 16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "The LORD be exalted!" 17 Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay. NIV 84 LESSON NOTES Waiting on the Lord Is a Posture, Not a Pause Waiting on the Lord is not passive inactivity but an intentional heart posture of trust, dependence, and surrender. Whether we are resting or working, our hearts can remain oriented toward God. God Responds Personally to Those Who Wait Psalm 40 reveals a personal God who turns toward us, hears our cries, lifts us from the slimy pit, sets our feet on solid ground, and puts a new song in our mouths. Waiting is worth it because God responds. Blessing Comes From the Object of Our Trust True happiness is found not in how strong our faith feels, but in who our faith is in. Even mustard-seed faith produces blessing when the Lord is its object. God's Wonders Always Outnumber Our Sins and Troubles David admits his sins and troubles are “too many to count,” yet he boldly declares that God's wonders are even greater. The sermon emphasizes this hope-filled truth: you cannot out-sin God's goodness, and grace always outweighs guilt. Delight, Not Duty, Is the Goal of Obedience Both David and Jesus teach us that true obedience flows from delight in God's will, not mere obligation. God opens our ears so that obedience becomes our joy, not our burden. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Where in your life are you currently being asked to “wait on the Lord”? How does viewing waiting as a heart posture rather than inactivity change how you approach that situation? 2. What are some “old mental tapes” that tend to play in your mind? How might God want to replace them with a “new song” of truth and praise this year? 3. Psalm 40:4 emphasizes trusting the Lord rather than people, success, or security. What objects are you tempted to trust in other than the Lord? 4. How might intentionally practicing gratitude (such as journaling God's wonders) help reshape your perspective when guilt, anxiety, or trouble feels overwhelming? 5. Of the three “songs” from this sermon— “Blessed is the one who makes the Lord their trust,” “Many are the wonders you have done,” “I delight in doing your will”— which one do you most need to put on repeat this season, and why?

Send us a textThis is the first episode of 2026 — and it sets the tone for everything that comes next.In this solo episode of Kyle Talks, Kyle lays out a simple but ambitious goal for the year ahead: bring back the art of conversation.Not perfect conversations. Not easy conversations. Real conversations.Whether your goal this year is personal growth, rebuilding confidence, learning discipline, or simply connecting better with people around you, this episode is an invitation to step forward — together.In this episode, Kyle reflects on:• Why goals mean nothing without action • How having better conversations is a form of discipline • Why understanding does not require agreement • The role of emotion in disagreement — and how to handle it • When it's healthy to walk away from a conversation • Why casual conversations matter just as much as serious ones • How self-control changes the tone of dialogue • What it means to listen in a culture that rewards shouting • Why Kyle Talks exists — and where it's headed in 2026This episode isn't about being right. It's about being present, curious, and human.Kyle challenges listeners to take responsibility for the conversations they're part of — at home, online, at work, and in the world — and reminds us that changing culture doesn't start with institutions. It starts with people choosing to talk.A question for listeners:What's one conversation you've been avoiding — and what would it look like to approach it with honesty and self-control?The Mission for 2026Kyle Talks is about talking to people again. Agreeing. Disagreeing. Laughing. Listening. Building connection without dehumanization.This year is about showing up imperfectly and continuing anyway.If this episode resonated with you, consider leaving a review or sharing it with someone you'd like to have a better conversation with.

Send us a textI had the opportunity to sit down with Sam Maddula, a founder whose career does not fit a clean headline. What stood out immediately wasn't the size of the business he built, but the decisions he made along the way, and the ones he chose not to make.This conversation isn't about hacks or hypergrowth. It's about judgment, timing, and the quiet moments when leaders realize the path forward isn't obvious.A Business Built in the MarginsSam started his company in a highly specialized corner of healthcare, serving patients and physicians in situations where the stakes were high and the system rarely worked smoothly. Growth came, but not in the way business books describe it.Instead of rapid expansion, Sam talks about constraints. About capacity. About learning when “yes” would eventually cost more than it was worth.Those trade-offs shaped everything that followed.When Success Starts Asking QuestionsAs the business matured, so did the weight of leadership. Responsibilities multiplied. Expectations rose. And life, as it does, introduced moments that forced Sam to reconsider what success actually required of him.We talk about what happens when the role you created begins to demand more than you're willing to give, and how hard it is to admit that out loud.The Hardest TransitionOne of the most compelling parts of our conversation centers on transition. Not just the professional mechanics of stepping away, but the emotional and identity shift that follows.Sam shares what surprised him most about that period, what he underestimated, and what ultimately helped him move forward with clarity rather than regret.The Core QuestionThroughout the episode, one question keeps resurfacing: how do you build something meaningful without losing yourself in the process?Sam doesn't offer formulas. He offers perspective shaped by experience, and the humility that comes from learning in real time.“You don't really know what matters until you're forced to choose.”This episode is a thoughtful look at leadership, transition, and the decisions that define a career long after the titles change.Click HERE to watch to the episode.Until next time, friends,ChrisIf this conversation resonates, forward it to a founder or leader who might appreciate it. Insight is meant to be shared.

What if saying your goals out loud, got you an email introducing you to your hero? In this episode, Cliff Ravenscraft shares how he walked away from a family insurance agency (started by his grandfather in 1937) where he was next in line to lead, all because of a podcast about the TV show Lost. After building an audience of 60,000 subscribers and receiving over 500 handwritten letters from people whose lives were transformed, Cliff realized his real calling wasn't selling insurance or being a pastor. It was teaching people how to use their voice to create content that matters. He's since helped over 40,000 people launch podcasts, but discovered something critical: nine out of ten failed because they skipped the first seven steps of building an online business. Step eight? Create content and build your audience. Everything else comes first. Cliff reveals the four-step formula that led to a $3 million relationship: believe it's possible, write it down, tell others, and work the plan as it becomes available. He also shares why his first year as a full-time entrepreneur, working 14-hour days seven days a week for $11,000, ended with a 24-hour podcast marathon and two weeks in the hospital where he almost died.   [00:05:00] Helping 40,000 People Launch Podcasts Left very lucrative career in family insurance agency started by grandfather in 1937 Went out to teach people how to launch podcasts Helped more than 40,000 people in the world launch a podcast Published over 4,800 podcast episodes across 55+ shows in 20 years [00:11:20] The First Year That Almost Killed Him First year full-time: 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week, not one day off first nine months Didn't receive single personal paycheck, just earned enough to pay business expenses End of year brought home $11,000 net personal income after taxes Celebrated with 24-hour podcast marathon, ended with two weeks in hospital [00:13:20] Why Nine Out of Ten Podcasters Fail In 2012, more than 50 of top 100 business podcasts were Cliff's clients But nine out of ten failed to ever see sustainable profit or any income Created 11-step framework for building online business Step number eight: create content and build audience (first seven steps were missed) [00:14:40] The Workshop That Changed Everything In 2017 stopped teaching podcasting, started coaching through what people missed One person earned no income before workshop, within two weeks secured $5,000/month recurring Coaches charging $50/hour walked out charging $300/hour "This is what fires me up" [00:16:40] Choose an Audience With Money Most people fail to choose audience that has money Ideal customer must have money, be aware of problem, willing to pay to solve it "I've got entire audience of tens of thousands and none of them have any money" Must validate they will pay before you create website, logo, podcast content [00:20:00] The Two Conditions At 18, convinced life would be devoted to ministry with servant's heart Parents asked him to work in insurance office because of computer skills Told parents: "You will never expect me to get insurance license" "If I'm offered opportunity to pastor church, I must get your full blessing to leave" [00:24:20] Top 10 Out of 14,000 Insurance Agents Year 2000, top 10 out of 14,000 agents with Grange Life Insurance Top 50 out of 48,000 agents with Auto Owners Life Insurance Sold 30-100 policies per month selling term life insurance All while competing against people selling permanent life (much higher premiums) [00:25:40] The Lost Podcast Changed Everything 2005, started podcasting as hobby about TV show Lost By third episode had 27,000 subscribers around the world Audience grew to over 60,000 subscribers Wooden inbox with over 500 handwritten letters: "Because of something you said, my life will never be the same" [00:28:00] Reaching Hundreds of Thousands Within 18 months reaching hundreds of thousands through seven different podcasts Producing seven to fifteen podcast episodes per week People's lives being transformed "I wonder what life would be like if I could do this for a living" [00:30:40] Testing the Four Step Formula Heard four-step formula: believe it's possible, write it down, tell others, work the plan Decided to test it with specific goal: meet Dan Miller and Leo LaPorte Didn't want to just meet at conference and be forgotten Wanted to tell them their influence and have them not forget meeting him [00:32:40] Forty Minutes After Hitting Publish Recorded podcast episode explaining formula and his goal Hit publish, 40 minutes later got email from Andy Troub (the connector) "I happen to be working on a project with Dan Miller. He's already aware of who you are" "Would you like me to introduce you?" [00:34:00] From Hero to Consulting Client One week later, Dan Miller was guest on Cliff's podcast After the interview, Dan asked "Can I schedule a consulting call with you?"

What you really need is something deeper—a vision that pulls you forward instead of pressuring you from behind. A vision that's worth changing for.   Resolutions fixate on doing more, being better, running faster. They're rooted in lack, in the places you feel behind, in everything you think needs correcting. But vision? Vision shapes who you're becoming. It invites growth instead of shaming you into hustle.   And that one reframe changes everything. Today, we're diving into how to build a God-given vision that lasts longer than February and doesn't burn you out in the process. Not the white-knuckle kind, but the kind God grows in you step by step—steady, faithful, and full of hope.   Timestamps: (00:20) - Why Resolutions Burn Out & Vision Actually Sticks (03:03) - Resolutions Chase Results, Vision Shapes Identity (03:42) - Why Your Nervous System Pushes Back Against Massive Overhauls (04:24) - How Vision Creates Alignment Instead of More Hustle (07:25) - Practical, Doable Steps for Building a Meaningful Vision   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind Alli's Makeup Recommendation - Sephora Colorful Waterproof Eyeshadow & Eyeliner Multi-Stick Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

What if the biggest reason you're inconsistent, under-earning, or doubting yourself has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with internal dialogue? In this episode, Arash Vossoughi and Mykie Stiller unpack the idea of the internal sales pitch and why every result in your life is first won or lost in the conversation you have with yourself. They discuss why selling is simply a transfer of belief, how belief is built through preparation and repetition, and why confidence doesn't come from personality, but from identity. You'll hear why most people lose, not because they're bad at sales, but because they haven't sold themselves on their goals, their value, or their ability to follow through. They also explore how selling applies far beyond traditional sales roles, why attitude is the ultimate sales skill, and how selling from service changes everything. Join the conversation to learn how to strengthen your internal dialogue and lead with certainty instead of hesitation.

In this first episode of the new year, I'm going to challenge the way you talk about your struggles... and offer a powerful reframe that can change how you approach anxiety, stress, confidence, and personal growth. Instead of obsessing over what you want less of (anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, perfectionism, etc), this episode helps you get clear on what you're actually wanting; things like calm, confidence, trust, and self-assurance. Because less anxiety isn't the destination. Calm and confidence are. Anxiety is just the message that something is going on. In this episode, you'll learn: Why focusing on "less anxiety" keeps you stuck in the problem How over-identifying with an issue or the thing you don't like becomes a trap A simple 3-step reframe to shift from problem-focused thinking to growth-focused thinking Real examples using anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, finances, and emotional eating This episode is perfect for anyone entering a new year feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with the things in life thaat are causing stress.

In this podcast episode, I explore money neutrality as a radically different way to approach 2026 and the entire idea of goal setting. Instead of building a list of outcomes to chase, I invite you to notice how traditional goals can create distance, pressure, and a version of you that feels familiar but unsustainable. I reframe the real "goal" as learning to live a new way, one where you stay rooted in your energy, keep up with your daily life, and still operate in the world without forcing outcomes. I explain that I don't work my way into money neutrality, I allow my way into it. Money neutrality is a letting go and a letting in, where detachment becomes the invite and effortlessness becomes the marker that you're moving into a new reality. I also talk about jumping timelines, the normalization of a new amount of money, and the fear that can surface when you imagine becoming the version of yourself who receives more. If you want a 2026 intention that removes the pressure, dissolves the old frenzied relationship with achievement, and opens you to unlimited receiving, this episode is your invitation.

Welcome to Bri Books! In this episode, I'm covering how to start a manifestation journal, and sharing my favorite manifestation journaling tips. Consider this your guide to manifestation journaling and morning pages. This episode will be a crash course on what exactly manifestation journaling is, where to start with manifestation journaling, scripting, and how to make manifestation journaling less overwhelming. If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter. 2:00 - What Exactly Is a Manifestation Journal: How to Start Manifestation Journaling A manifestation journal is an excellent way to describe your life story the way you want to manifest your dream life. The process of manifestation journaling not only forces you to organize your thoughts and establish paths to your dreams, but also sparks motivation to go after them.  3:00: What's the Goal of Manifestation Journaling? The goal of manifestation journaling is to create new neural networks and belief systems. By writing each goal and each experience in the present tense to convince your mind into thinking it's already a reality. This primes your subconscious mind to be able to make the changes to achieve your goal while helping you shift self-identity. Remember, the goal here is to bring something into reality by establishing expectations. 4:00: Where to Start with Manifestation Journaling Use a Pen and Paper: Avoid digital versions of manifestation journals at the beginning of your journey, because you want to give the time and energy with pen and paper to unlock your desires. You want your manifestation journal to feel almost ritualistic: something you look forward to.  Define Your Vision: Take a look at your current reality and identify what areas you'd like to improve. I'd say stick to 2 clear visions for 90 days, to avoid completely overhauling your life. Examples of vision areas include professional life, personal/ spiritual growth, physical health, relationships, financial health, creativity, fun/ adventure.  Align Your Emotional State With Your Vision: Cultivate the emotions associated with the reality you're working to manifest. How does it feel to achieve this goal? Match how you feel to what you want. Don't wait until you've achieved everything on the list to feel happiness. When you act as if you already have achieved your goals, your reality will shift to match your emotional state.  Set a Purpose for Your Vision: This will be your North Star on days when you feel unmotivated. A clear purpose will fuel you to move forward. Having a strong 'why' will drive you to make the changes you need to materialize your goals. 7:00: Manifestation Journal Prompts What does my highest version of reality look like? What would make me fulfilled and satisfied from the inside out in this area? What do I want this area to look like in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years? What value will this manifestation bring to my life? What am I working towards and why? What's the value behind this goal? What are my motivations behind this vision 9:00: How to Make Manifestation Journaling Less Overwhelming Combine manifestation journaling with something you love like morning coffee or tea. Morning pages help to make it a daily ritual you look forward to. Be as consistent as possible. Journal at the same time every day (after showering, before bed, upon waking). Be present as you write: feel the emotions of achieving your goals, feel the formation of your new intentions, feel your visions come to life. Put away distractions and give writing your full attention. Remember, the greatest emotion you can cultivate to manifest your goals is gratitude. Gratitude is the state of receiving. When you feel gratitude for what you want before you have it, you naturally attract it into your life.  13:00: How to Use Scripting in Your Manifestation Journaling Scripting involves going into detail on the thing you're working to manifest and what it feels like to receive it. Live in the end.. The 3D just needs a little time to catch up--give it a push. Write affirmations at the end of the script, and write as if you're currently recapping your present moment.

I know you have all your 2026 goals in hand and are ready to tackle them. But I have one more for you that is foundational for your success this year: regulation. You can call it attitude or frame of mind or energy - the vocabulary isn't the point. I just firmly believe that when we are able to show up as our best selves with the right intention and energy we can conquer anything - including ring nerves, pressure, insecurity, and even toxic people!

After 968 episodes and nearly a decade, I'm pausing the Goal Digger Podcast. Season one is complete, and I'm so excited about what comes next. I've been searching for women who stepped back at the height of their careers not from crisis or failure but from peace, intention, and pure joy. Those stories are rare, so I'm modeling it in real time: what it looks like when a woman makes a conscious, celebratory choice to step away from something that's working because she's designed her life to have that freedom. Here's what lights me up about this: the through line of my entire business has always been about getting back your time. Me being able to make this choice right now, to pause a thriving seven-figure revenue stream while my business continues to run beautifully, is the ultimate proof that everything I've taught actually works. This is the goal we've been digging for all along. I'm not disappearing, I'm expanding. My courses, email list, and programs are still thriving and I'll be even more present and creative in those spaces. Will there be a season two? Maybe. I'm wide open to whatever magic emerges. Stay connected on my email list where I'm personally writing weekly: https://jennakutcher.com/penpals If you've been wondering what it looks like to build something meaningful, enjoy your success, and choose what comes next from a place of abundance and possibility, this one's for you.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com        Matthew 14:22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. 23 After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o'clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It's a ghost!” 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don't be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” 28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” 29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted. 31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?” 32 When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed.     The power was in the word from God… not in Peter, or his hopes or aspirations, NOT EVEN HIS OWN PERSONAL BELIEF… it was in the word of God.      Peter understood authority and submission to it.  Peter is saying, if you command it, I will submit to your authority and follow your words.      **But Peter didn't just walk out of the boat, he didn't just take anyones word… he said “Jesus if it is you command me”.  Look, there are waves, wind, spray, its night time, maybe one lantern, shadows everywhere… who is this? A ghost? A shadow? A demon? A…a…a… is it Jesus.  Before you jump ship - make sure you are following Jesus - and following his command.      The Goal was Intimacy, not Magic Notice the full phrase: "Command me to come to You."    The original phrase in the greek is “if it is you Command me to come to you” - he did not ask to walk on the water, he did not say Jesus I want to walk on the water… he knew safety was with Jesus!      Peter didn't want to walk on water for the sake of a thrill; he wanted to walk on water because that was the only way to get closer to Jesus. The miracle was just the method of transport; Jesus was the destination.

In this episode of The Floral CEO Podcast, Jeni walks you through a powerful life and business audit designed to help you gain clarity, reduce burnout, and intentionally shape the next chapter of your business and life.This isn't about judgment, shame, or “fixing” yourself.It's about seeing clearly, reclaiming your energy, and choosing alignment over chaos.Why a Life + Business Audit MattersYour business does not exist in a vacuum.If your life feels heavy, chaotic, or unsupported, your business will eventually reflect that.In this episode, Jeni shares why:Your business cannot “save” your lifeMoney alone doesn't fix misalignmentSustainable success starts with clarity, boundaries, and honest reflectionThis audit helps you step out of reaction mode and into intentional CEO leadership.Part 1: Where Are You Right Now?1. Energy AuditTake an honest look at where your energy is going — and where it's being drained.Rate each area on a scale of 1–10:WorkdaysClient interactionsCreative workHome lifeMental loadPhysical energyAnything consistently under a 5 deserves attention — not guilt.2. Time AuditAsk yourself:Where is my time actually going?What feels busy vs. what moves the needle?How much of my time is reactive vs. intentional?Break your time into categories:Revenue-producing workAdmin / busyworkMarketingFamily & personal lifeScrolling / numbingRest (real rest)Then ask:Is my time aligned with my priorities — or just my habits?3. Money AuditThis is where many business owners avoid looking — and where clarity is most powerful.Reflect on:What did I actually pay myself?What parts of my business are profitable?What looks “successful” but pays terribly?Where am I leaking money (including time)?Ask the big question:Am I building a business that supports my life — or one that requires sacrifice without return?Part 2: What's Not Working Anymore?4. Tolerance AuditFinish these sentences honestly:“I'm tolerating __________.”“I keep putting up with __________.”“I know this isn't working, but I haven't changed it.”What we tolerate becomes our standard.5. Alignment AuditAsk yourself:Does my business reflect who I am now — or who I used to be?If I built this business today, would I build it the same way?Is my business aligned with my values, family life, health, creativity, and nervous system?Small misalignments add up over time.6. Identity AuditShift from:“I'm trying to…”to“I am someone who…”Ask:Who have I been acting like I am?Who do I want to become?What does that version of me say yes to?What does she stop doing?Identity shifts drive behavior change.Part 3: What Needs to Change?7. Subtraction Before AdditionBefore adding anything new, ask:What can I remove?What can I simplify?What am I done tolerating?Growth doesn't always mean more — often it means less, done better.8. Focus Audit: The 3–Thing RuleChoose:3 business priorities3 life prioritiesAsk:If I focused only on these, would my life and business improve?Everything else can pause, be delegated, or simplified.9. Support AuditYou are not meant to do this alone.Ask:Where do I need support?What am I carrying that isn't mine?Who helps me think bigger?Who holds me accountable?Support might look like systems, boundaries, therapy, coaching, or community.Part 4: How Do You Move Forward?10. Micro-Momentum PlanningInstead of fixing everything, ask:What's one 15-minute change I can make this week?One boundary I can set?One system I can tighten?Small shifts create big identity changes.11. Future You Check-InAsk:What will future me thank me for changing now?What would make next year feel lighter?Your body often knows before your mind does.12. Decision Filter Going ForwardEvery opportunity should pass through:Does this align with my values?Does this support my energy?Does this move me toward my goals?Am I saying yes out of fear or intention?If it's not a clear yes, it's a no or not right now.Final ThoughtsYou are allowed to:Change your mindWant something differentBuild a business that feels good and pays you wellChoose alignment over hustleYour life matters just as much as your business.Join the Goal Planning Party

This is it—the final installment of my 50 by 50 series. I've spent four episodes breaking down 50 lessons I learned in my first half-century on this planet (yes, I said half-century). In this episode, I'm covering the final 27 lessons, from "dream big, start small" to why you need at least one Cajun friend.
