Podcasts about hard work

Karol Markowicz sits down with Zachary Kussin, real estate editor at the New York Post, for a wide-ranging conversation about journalism, New York City real estate, personal style, resilience, and the value of embracing who you really are. Kussin shares the unlikely story of how a Craigslist job posting helped launch his journalism career, eventually leading him from The Real Deal to the New York Post. He explains what makes real estate reporting such a unique beat and how years of hard work, unexpected opportunities, and a little luck shaped his career. The conversation also turns personal as Kussin recounts losing nearly everything when a seven-alarm fire tore through his New York City apartment building. The experience gave him an opportunity to rebuild—not just his home, but a space that genuinely reflected his personality, travels, and lifelong love of antiques, vintage jewelry, fashion, and design. Karol and Zachary discuss growing more confident with age, finding your people, developing meaningful relationships, pursuing unconventional passions, and refusing to change yourself simply to fit other people's expectations. Kussin also shares his philosophy for living a happier life: embrace adventure, pursue what genuinely interests you, take chances even when you don't know the outcome, and have the confidence to be yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the final episode of our three-part Durkin family trilogy, I'm sitting down with my youngest child, McKenna Durkin, just before she leaves home to begin a brand-new chapter at High Point University (NC). This conversation is special—not only because I get to hear directly from McKenna about her dreams, goals, fears, and excitement for college and Division I lacrosse, but because we also get to flip the script and let her interview me. We talk about the value of hard work, discipline, mindset, controlling the controllables, limiting distractions, the power of networking, and what it really means to believe in yourself when you're stepping into something bigger than anything you've experienced before. As a Dad, this episode is a reminder that raising kids is ultimately about preparing them to spread their wings, chase their dreams, and become who they were created to be. In This Episode, You'll Hear: McKenna's move to High Point University and why she's so excited for this next chapter. What it takes to prepare for the next level of Division I lacrosse—and why "controlling the controllables" matters. The training, recovery, nutrition, sleep, and discipline McKenna has prioritized this summer. Why your environment matters and how the people and places around you can shape who you become. McKenna's approach to nutrition, including whole foods, protein, fruits, vegetables, and enjoying a healthy sweet treat. Why McKenna is choosing to study Exercise Science and her current dream of becoming a physician's assistant. The importance of using college as a time to explore, learn, and discover what you truly love to do. McKenna's biggest excitement—and biggest challenges—as she prepares to leave home and figure things out on her own. Her dreams for the future, including building a career she loves and someday having a lake house. Why some of the best family memories aren't the big trips, but the ordinary moments spent together. The Durkin family's special connection to Whitefish, Montana, and the importance of unplugging, slowing down, and creating quality family time. McKenna flipping the script and asking me some powerful questions—including the one lesson he hopes she has learned from watching me. Why hard work, grit, discipline, and believing in yourself are essential to reaching your goals. How to handle self-doubt when you're surrounded by people who are talented, accomplished, and competing at a high level. The power of focusing on the process instead of putting pressure on yourself to achieve a specific result. Todd's perspective on raising a daughter and the unique bond, love, pride, and protection that comes with being a dad to a girl. Why limiting distractions—especially social media—is critical when you're trying to accomplish something meaningful. The incredible power of networking and why "your network is your net worth." Todd's advice for McKenna as she heads off to college: come home, stay connected, keep getting better, and enjoy the process. A powerful reminder from Proverbs 22 about training a child in the way they should go—and then giving them the freedom to grow and spread their wings. There's something incredibly powerful about watching your kids grow up, develop their own dreams, and step into a future you know you can't completely control. McKenna is about to leave the nest, and while there's certainly some emotion that comes with that, there's also an incredible amount of pride and excitement. My job as a father has never been to create a life for my kids—it's been to equip them with the values, discipline, faith, work ethic, and confidence to go create their own. McKenna, I am so proud of you. Go chase the dream. Go compete. Go learn. Go build relationships. Go get better every single day. And most importantly, enjoy the PROCESS of becoming the woman you're meant to be. The next chapter is just beginning—and I can't wait to watch you spread your wings and create your IMPACT.

Episode 261 of the Transition Drill podcast explores identity, leadership, family sacrifice, and life after law enforcement for veterans and first responders navigating the transition out of service. You'll hear James Snow on what happens when the job becomes too much of who you are, and what it takes to build purpose, relationships, and leadership in and beyond the uniform.Back for a second time since Episode 155, James reflects on a 28-and-a-half-year law enforcement career that included time in Orange County, 10 years with Rialto Police Department, and the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department; retiring as a sergeant. He talks candidly about promotions, organizational culture, ego, leadership failures, and the hard truth that being great at the job doesn't automatically make someone a great leader.He also looks at the personal cost. James talks about his biggest career regret is the time and attention his family didn't receive while he chased assignments, advancement, and professional growth. Retirement has given him space to recognize those costs, change old habits, raise his granddaughter differently, and reconnect with the people and priorities that matter.Three years into retirement, James has built a life that isn't defined by his former title. His first book, The Pivot, focused on identity and transition. His new book, The Quiet Professional, turns toward leadership, arguing that rank and authority aren't the same as influence. It's a conversation about leaving service without losing purpose, leading without ego, and becoming more than the career you left behind.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comCHAPTERS0:00:00 — Intro: Life Beyond the Badge0:05:31 — The Family Paid the Price0:15:21 — When the Job Becomes Your Identity0:18:31 — Build a Life Outside the Uniform0:23:08 — Escaping the Echo Chamber0:32:18 — Expertise Doesn't Make You a Leader0:42:21 — Can Leadership Be Taught?0:49:19 — Take Care of Your People0:56:08 — Your Idea May Be the Worst One1:01:16 — Why He Wrote The Quiet Professional1:04:53 — Your Position Will Be Filled1:09:02 — Leaders Have to Admit They're Fallible1:13:18 — What You Tolerate, You Condone1:18:16 — What Each Generation Leaves Behind1:26:11 — Hard Work, Opportunity, and Gratitude1:31:07 — Who Are You When It Really Matters?1:33:59 — Rebuilding the Body After the Career1:36:20 — The Craftsman Project Takes Shape1:46:09 — Getting Back the Time With His Dad1:53:43 — The Meaning of the Quiet ProfessionalSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Episode 2146: Jenny Lee pushes back on the idea that a mindful life means never working hard. She shares how years of relentless side hustling, and then a serious health crisis and a long recovery, completely changed her relationship with work. Today she argues that big goals and real work-life balance can coexist, as long as the work does not bulldoze health, relationships, and the people who matter most. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.hellobrio.com/blog/hard-work Quotes to ponder: "We are not what we produce." "Even though our hard work does not define us, it's still okay to have big goals and to work hard. Just don't let those dreams bulldoze what really matters." "Mindfulness is an emotional minimalism: focus on what matters most to you and say no to the rest."

In 2 Corinthians 5:9-21, Paul shows that those who are in Christ are new creatures, called to live for the One who died and rose again for them. Ronnie Burge explains that salvation is entirely by grace through faith, yet the changed Christian life requires diligence: cleansing away worldly filthiness, renewing the mind through God's word, and refusing spiritual stagnation. Drawing from his own testimony of deliverance, he urges believers to stay close to the word and let others see that Jesus Christ has made them different.

Kurt Taylor: Rebuilding Ridgevue Football Through Culture, Leadership, and Hard Work What does it actually take to build a winning football culture? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Kurt Taylor, the head football coach at Ridgevue High School, for a powerful conversation about coaching, leadership, adversity, player development, community buy-in, and what it takes to build a football program the right way. Coach Taylor brings more than 20 years of coaching experience to Ridgevue football, and this episode goes far beyond the scoreboard. We talk about his football journey, growing up in Oregon, dealing with serious injuries as a high school athlete, the mental health challenges that came with losing the opportunity to play college football, and how coaching became the calling that helped shape his life. This conversation is especially valuable for athletes, parents, coaches, and leaders who want to understand what culture really means inside a program. Coach Taylor shares what it has been like stepping into the Ridgevue football program, how he is working to build trust with players, parents, coaches, and the North Nampa community, and why consistency matters when a program has gone through multiple coaching changes. One of the biggest themes in this episode is that culture is not just something you say. It is something you build every single day through standards, expectations, relationships, core values, and the experience players have inside the program. In this episode, we talk about: Kurt Taylor's football journey and how he fell in love with the game Growing up in Oregon and knowing early that he wanted to coach How injuries impacted his football dreams The mental health side of losing opportunities as an athlete Why hard work is the great equalizer How coaching became his calling What brought Coach Taylor from Oregon to Idaho Why Ridgevue football has a unique opportunity right now How to rebuild trust after multiple coaching changes What real football culture looks like Why parents, players, coaches, and community all matter How Ridgevue is building from the youth level up The importance of player leadership and leadership councils Ridgevue players to watch this season Why the weight room is the foundation of a successful football program Why Coach Taylor believes the power clean is one of the best lifts for football players What Ridgevue fans can expect from the program moving forward Coach Taylor also talks about the importance of developing young men beyond football. His goal is not just to build better athletes. It is to help players become better leaders, better teammates, and better people who can take the lessons from football into the rest of their lives. We also dive into the importance of the weight room, strength and conditioning, speed development, and mental toughness. Coach Taylor explains why the weight room is where athletes build more than strength. It is where they learn how to push through discomfort, respond to adversity, and build confidence that carries into the fourth quarter and beyond. Whether you are a Ridgevue football fan, a Treasure Valley sports fan, a high school athlete, a parent, a coach, or someone who loves conversations about leadership and sports, this episode gives a great look at what Coach Taylor and his staff are building at Ridgevue High School.

What if the key to building a successful life isn’t having everything figured out—but simply doing the job that’s right in front of you? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Matthew Hennessey, editor of Free Expression at The Wall Street Journal, for a wide-ranging conversation about career, marriage, ambition, failure, and finding your path in life. Hennessey shares his unconventional journey from chasing an acting career in Hollywood to becoming a journalist and eventually landing at The Wall Street Journal. He explains why meeting his wife became a pivotal moment in both his personal life and career, and why young people may have it backwards when they believe they need to establish themselves professionally before getting married. Karol and Matthew also discuss the value of taking risks, learning to do difficult things, supporting children as they pursue uncertain dreams, and why success often comes one small step at a time. Hennessey also explains what The Wall Street Journal represents beyond finance and Wall Street, shares his concerns about the possibility of a major economic downturn, and offers a surprisingly optimistic perspective on artificial intelligence and the economy. Finally, he leaves listeners with a simple piece of advice that has guided his career and life: Do the job that’s in front of you, and the future will take care of itself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AUG. 7, 2026The rewards of vision and hard work."Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper." Pr 13:4 NLTIn the fall of 1894, Guglielmo retreated to his room on the third floor. All summer while on vacation, he read books and filled notebooks with squiggly diagrams. Now the time had come for him to work. Every day, he rose early. He worked all day and long into the night, to the point that his mother became alarmed. He had never been a robust person, but now he had become appallingly thin. His face was drawn, and his eyes were often glazed over with fatigue. Finally, the day came when he announced that his instruments were ready. He invited the family to his room and, pushing a button, he succeeded in ringing a bell on the first floor!While his mother was amazed, his father was not. He saw no use in being able to send a signal so short a distance. So Guglielmo labored on. Little by little, he made changes in his sending circuits so he could send a signal from one hill to the next and then beyond the hill. Eventually his invention was perfected-partly due to vision and inspiration, but mostly due to perseverance.Guglielmo Marconi was eventually hailed as the inventor of wireless telegraphy, radio's forerunner. He not only received a Nobel Prize in physics but also acquired a seat in the Italian senate. If you want what successful people have, you must be willing to do what successful people do-and 99 percent of their success is due to vision and hard work.

More often, they're overwhelmed, exhausted, celebrating, grieving, moving, healing, or simply trying to regain control of their homes and lives.Recommended episode: EP 212, Your Customers Don't Pay You for Hard Work.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2155653/episodes/19461218-your-customers-don-t-pay-for-you-for-hard-work-ep-212.mp3?download=trueIf you enjoyed today's conversation, Episode 212 explores one of the biggest mindset shifts every cleaning business owner must make: clients aren't paying for your exhaustion—they're paying for the transformation, peace of mind, and problems you solve.The Contract and Clarity Bundle-Deep Cleanings!https://klean-freaks-university.newzenler.com/courses/the-contract-client-clarity-bundle Support the showThanks for tuning in to Cleaning Business Life — the podcast for cleaning business owners who want to build a profitable, sustainable company without burning out.Hosted by Shannon Miller and Jamie Runco, each episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to start, grow, and scale a cleaning business — covering pricing, systems, leadership, boundaries, and the real conversations most people avoid.

Last weekend, Lollapalooza rolled into my front yard in Chicago, and in this Series, I'll be featuring the interviews I did with a handful of amazing artists playing this giant festival. For this Part 1, I was especially psyched to mark the occasion by first sitting down with my friend, the amazing and inspiring Goldie Boutilier, who's making her third appearance on the show.Since Goldie's last interview for Roadcase in December 2024, she has been absolutely crushing it and I couldn't be happier about her accomplishments. She was recently nominated for a Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, made her TV debut on the Kelly Clarkson Show, opened for Katy Perry on the European leg of her World Tour late last year, and also had her song “King of Possibilities” featured as the theme song for the Netflix Series “The Hunting Wives.” These are major accomplishments by any measure, but when you understand Goldie's life story, her continual rise becomes even more impressive.Goldie talks to me about her constant evolution and transformation from a dreamer to a doer, the impact of being a role model for her fans, how owning her trauma and seeing herself in others has made her feel less alone, and we explore how her overcoming doubt and fear to conquer new challenges has made her even stronger. Goldie's inspiring story is one of survival, resilience, grit, determination and self-belief — and I'm proud to have her on the show once again!!  You can click on the link in the bio to find it.

Brian reflects on feeling politically homeless amid the rise of the Democratic Socialist movement and the MAGA movement pulling both parties toward the extremes, grounding his hope in Christ rather than any political tribe. He digs into pastor Josh Howerton's conversation on the Sean Ryan Show about the hard, practical steps of biblical forgiveness — including Howerton's own painful experience with leaked personal details from his church. Brian talks about what defines us apart from external metrics like job titles or church attendance numbers, pointing to identity as beloved children of God. He shares a Gospel Coalition piece on finding God's glory in birdwatching, calls out "clown Christianity" — the exhausting habit of painting over inner brokenness with a happy face — and pushes back on the viral "dump them" culture of cutting off relationships at the first sign of conflict. He also shares Randy Alcorn's reminder that every job, not just full-time ministry, is a platform to glorify God, illustrated by the story of insurance entrepreneur Art DeMoss. Brian closes with a rich meditation on "awe" as the fuel of faith and the antidote to spiritual apathy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to interview Food City Athens,AL, Store Manager Andrea Barnes, and I believe you're going to enjoy her story. Andrea's journey began as a part-time cashier in Chattanooga. Through years of hard work, dedication, and leadership, she worked her way up to become the store manager of the new Food City in Athens. She's also right at home in North Alabama. A graduate of Rogers High in Green Hill, Andrea has a daughter who teaches kindergarten in Limestone County, and she's enjoying one of life's greatest blessings, being a grandmother. During our conversation, we talk about the remarkable history of Food City, from Navy veteran Jack Smith purchasing a Piggly Wiggly in Grundy, Virginia, to opening the very first Food City in 1955. We also discuss the incredible response to the Athens grand opening, support from local officials, what customers can expect, the new stores coming to Oneonta and the County Line Road area, Food City's commitment to giving back to the communities they serve, and the incredible team members who have worked tirelessly over the past several days to prepare for and serve our community. Most of all, this is a story about opportunity. It's a reminder that where you begin doesn't have to determine where you finish. If you enjoy stories about hard work, perseverance, and people making a difference, I think you'll enjoy this one! Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have part two with Andrea Barnes, store manager of the new Food City in Athens,AL as she shares how a part-time cashier position became a career she never imagined. Ten years ago, after moving to Chattanooga, Andrea was looking for a fresh start. A stay-at-home mom for 15 years, she applied to Food City after her daughter encouraged her to do the same. What began as a part-time cashier position soon became an opportunity to grow. Andrea embraced every challenge that came her way, serving as a floral manager, receiver, assistant manager, and ultimately earning the role of store manager. She credits the leaders who believed in her, invested in her development, and opened doors as she proved herself ready for each new opportunity. Her story is a reminder that where you begin doesn't determine where you can go. With hard work, a willingness to learn, and a company that invests in its people, remarkable opportunities can become reality.

Message from Matt Ham on July 26, 2026

What if one text message could change someone's life?For many of us, our fitness journey started because someone invited us to try CrossFit. That simple invitation led to stronger bodies, greater confidence, lifelong friendships, and a community that feels like home.In this episode, we're talking about Bring-A-Friend Week and why inviting a friend or family member is about so much more than filling a class. It's about giving someone the opportunity to experience expert coaching, supportive community, and a healthier future.We'll discuss:

Hard work should lead to fun, sometimes we need to fall to rise, pets should eat like people, should we buy in bulk? We should explore the unknown.   The vampire lastat, the Marlow murder club, shadow force, the protege, one battle after another, retribution, deep cover, the tomorrows war.   One pot smoked sausage pasta, beef and shrimp, Boursin bruschetta dip, spinach wrap, deviled egg salad, Tex nex turkey burger.   happy Friday stars

Thank you For Listening. Click here to Send us a comment if you have any thoughts on the episode! Cherry Coke. Pop Tarts. A six-hour bus ride across Uruguay. Those details sound small until you hear what they represent: the moment a returning missionary realizes he is not the same person who left. We're joined by Dallin Hester, fresh home from the Uruguay Montevideo West mission, and we walk through the homecoming journey, the love waiting at the airport, and the strange shock of re-entering American life after two years of simpler routines. From there, we get into the real work. Dallin breaks down what Uruguay mission life actually feels like, from milanesa dinners and member meals to days when you're clapping doors and nobody wants the message. He opens up about learning Spanish when you feel behind everyone else, why the language rarely “clicks” all at once, and how obedience and tiny wins stack into confidence. We also talk about two very different mission presidents, mate culture, and why a slower pace of life can change how you see time, people, and priorities. The heart of the conversation is spiritual growth that lasts past the badge. We dig into building a personal testimony of Jesus Christ, learning to pray and listen, and redefining success when the numbers are quiet. Dallin shares what surprised him most about coming home, why he chose to delete social media, and how he wants to keep serving without the title. If you're preparing for a mission or supporting someone who is, you'll get practical guidance like reading Preach My Gospel and nurturing the seeds you plant. Subscribe for more real faith conversations, share this with someone getting ready to serve, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with Phylicia McLeod to explore why thinking on your feet has less to do with having the right answer and more to do with trusting yourself.

Episode 4171 │ July 5, 2026 July 4 lit the flame. July 5 is where the endurance begins. The Declaration was adopted. Congress met in regular session and got back to work. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS  Scott Kesterson opens on the morning after the 250th with the detail history almost never tells: the beautifully engrossed parchment in the National Archives was not produced until August 2 — what circulated on July 5, 1776 was John Dunlop's broadside, printed through the night, 200 working government documents dispatched to colonial assemblies and General Washington, who received his copy on July 9, immediately ordered it read to every brigade at 6pm, and watched New York citizens tear down the gilded lead statue of King George III and melt it into 42,088 musket balls for the Continental Army. The episode then traces what July 5 actually looked like inside the room — Congress in regular session managing military correspondence, financing a war with uncertain currency, and working New York's abstention toward full unanimity — alongside what it looked like outside: loyalist families making quiet preparations to leave, Elizabeth Lewis not yet knowing that British forces would soon raid her estate, take her prisoner, deny her a bed or change of clothes, and break her health until she died in 1779, three years after her husband signed, the unmonumented human cost of a document that told every king in the world his authority had a ceiling. The episode closes with the Black Robe Regiment's question on July 5 — not whether independence was justified but what it meant covenantly, what it required of a self-governing people entering a covenant relationship with God — and Scott's charge forward into Vincit's standing doctrine: the brush fire Samuel Adams described does not tend itself, the feather bed Jefferson warned against does not harden itself, and the covenant does not fulfill itself — it requires the irate, tireless minority who keep watching when the celebration is done and the work has just begun. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  What were the Dunlop broadsides — and what does the operational reality of July 5, 1776, a printer finishing through the night, a rider heading north, Congress in regular session, tell you about how the founders understood the relationship between declaration and work? Why did the Declaration of Independence shatter Admiral Howe's peace commission before he could present it — and what did the theological architecture underneath the political argument, that God-given rights outrank any king's authority to grant or withhold them, reveal about what Britain was actually fighting against? Who was Elizabeth Lewis — and why does her story, a woman in her 60s taken prisoner, denied a bed, her health broken until she died in 1779, represent the human cost of July 4 that no monument has ever fully honored?

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM732_FINAL.mp3   The striving set point is the pattern I see most often in high-performing business owners — and it’s one of the most frustrating to live with, because from the outside it looks like everything is working. You work harder than anyone you know. You implement new strategies and push your team. And you keep hitting the same ceiling. In this episode, Steph Tuss and I break down why effort alone can’t break through a set point, where the striving pattern comes from, and what it actually costs you. This is Part 4 of the Financial Setpoint Series. Episode 729 introduces the full framework and the free Psychological Set Point Analyzer. Episodes 730 and 731 cover the scarcity and survival set points. If you’re new to the series, start there. Striving Set Point: The Belief That Struggle Equals WorthinessAt the core of the striving set point is a belief that most people have never consciously examined: if it isn’t hard, I don’t deserve it. The effort you put in becomes the measure of your self-worth — not the result. Consciously, you hate the struggle. You say you want more time, more freedom, more ease. But your inner operating system has tied those things together so tightly that when something actually becomes easy, it doesn’t feel earned. It feels suspicious. This pattern almost always originates in families where love and security had to be earned through achievement. The straight-A student. The child who held the family together. The one whose role was to be the responsible one, the good one, the one who had it handled. You strived for approval as a kid — and even when you got it, it was never quite enough. So you kept going. And now, decades later, the pattern is still running. The business has just become the new arena. Striving Set Point: Three Ways It Shows Up and What It Costs YouThe first place the striving set point shows up is the income ceiling. You implement a new strategy, see a short burst of growth, and come right back to the same number. You pivot, hire, and add a new offer. The ceiling stays. That’s because the ceiling isn’t about your tactics — it’s about your set point. Until the internal thermostat is reprogrammed, the external results keep resetting. The second is what Steph and I call throwing a hand grenade into the business. When things are actually going well — when the struggle lifts — strivers don’t trust it. If something comes easily, it doesn’t feel real. So they unconsciously create new chaos: a team conflict, a strategic pivot, a major decision that blows up what was working. It feels like control. But it’s the set point protecting its territory. The third is comparisonitis. You watch someone else achieve what looks like comparable results with half your effort, and something in you goes sideways. The resentment builds, then the stress, then the burnout. And through all of it, the income ceiling holds — because the ceiling was never about how hard you worked. It was always about what you believe you deserve. The physical cost of this set point is significant. Steph noted in this episode that strivers tend to accumulate more health issues than any other type — the body simply isn’t built for the level of sustained pressure this pattern demands. Slowing Down Is the Fastest Way ThroughOne of the more counterintuitive insights from this episode is that strivers often need to slow down to move faster. The fly beating itself against the glass window — a metaphor from Price Pritchett’s You² — doesn’t need to work harder. It needs to pull back six inches and see that the door is right there. The answer has been available the whole time. The set point just makes it impossible to see. Awareness is the first step, but as Steph and I have both said throughout this series, awareness alone doesn’t change anything. You need new behaviors. The free Psychological Set Point Analyzer at lifeisnowinc.com/setpoint will identify whether the striving set point is your primary pattern and give you a seven-day plan to begin reprogramming it. For deeper work, Steph and I are hosting The Elite Mind Intensive on August 18th and 19th in Charlotte, North Carolina — two days focused entirely on set point transformation. Details and tickets are at lifeisnowinc.com/clarity. Episode 733, the final episode in this series, covers the Emerging Success Set Point — what it looks like when you’re doing the work and starting to break through. Join us. Episode 624 – The Starting Point is Desire Episode 372 – I Choose How I Feel Episode 204 – Burnout, Balance & B.S. YOU'VE LEARNED THE STRATEGIES… SO WHY DOES YOUR REVENUE STILL CONTINUE TO PLATEAU?Here’s what I know about most business owners: They’re working hard, doing the right things, and still hitting the same income ceiling year after year. That ceiling has a name — it’s your Financial Set Point. It’s the unconscious limit you’ve placed on what you believe you can earn, and until you see it clearly, it runs the show no matter what strategies you put in place.That’s what we work on at my upcoming Business Intensive in August.  Over two days, I'll help you identify your financial set point, understand why it’s there, and break through it so you can finally earn what you want without the constant struggle and hustle that’s been getting you nowhere.If that sounds like exactly what’s been missing, you don’t want to sit this one out.
