Travis and producer Eric break down one of Jim Rohn's classic lessons: the importance of asking. After joking about Rohn's dramatic delivery, they explore why asking is such a powerful skill, from being clear about what you want to approaching goals with both intelligence and faith. The conversation also dives into the tension between adult skepticism and childlike optimism, and why some of the most successful people Travis has interviewed share an unusual willingness to believe they can accomplish something before they have much evidence that they can. On this episode we talk about: Jim Rohn's philosophy on asking and why asking is the beginning of receiving Why being clear and specific about what you want can help direct your actions The difference between asking intelligently and simply hoping for something How skepticism and experience can diminish the optimism we have as children Why childlike belief can be valuable when pursuing ambitious goals The common mindset Travis has noticed among people who have achieved extraordinary success Balancing realistic planning with the belief that something is possible Why you don't always need to understand exactly how something will work before taking action Top 3 Takeaways Ask clearly for what you want. Vague goals make it difficult to know what actions to take. Get specific about what you're pursuing and what success looks like. Pair adult planning with childlike belief. Experience can make you more skeptical, but maintaining some of that willingness to believe something is possible can help you pursue goals that initially seem unrealistic. You don't need every answer before you begin. Understanding the mechanics behind something can be useful, but overcomplicating the process can become an excuse for inaction. Sometimes it's enough to know what works and start doing it.

This week's episode is a special one. Taken from my Annual Planning episode last year, this will show you how to make next year a productive, focused one that will leave you energised and fulfilled. “I used to say, ‘I sure hope things will change, ' then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change." That's a quote from the wonderful Jim Rohn. A strong proponent of developing a plan for your life, and a part of that is creating a strong plan for the new year. In this special episode, I'll walk you through the steps for the Annual Planning Season, which began on October 1st.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. A mistake I used to make was to come up with some ideas about what I would like to change in the new year in that gap between Christmas and the New Year. The only reason I ever did that was because my friends were asking, “What are your New Year's resolutions?” I never really had any, so I used to quickly think up some cool-sounding ideas and say that was what I was going to do. And yet, it wasn't always like that. When I was a competitive athlete in my teens, each year in December, I would sit down with my coach and plan what we would achieve the following year. What times we were going for and which races were to be the “big ones”. I still remember the year I broke 2 minutes for the 800 metres and 4 minutes for the 1,500 metres. We knew I was close, having ended the previous year at 2 minutes 3 seconds for the 800 and 4 minutes 6 seconds for the 1,500. All that was needed was a good, strong winter and pre-season training. I remember going into 1986 in one of the most positive frames of mind ever. Then, when I stopped running competitively—one of my biggest regrets—I stopped planning the year. And that coincided with my not achieving very much. I drifted from one job to another. Had no idea what I wanted to do, and I remember feeling unfulfilled and lost. Fortunately, I rediscovered annual planning. The sitting down and thinking about what I wanted to accomplish. It was that restart that resulted in me coming to Korea, and discovering my passion—teaching. Everything I have achieved over the last 23 years can be traced back to following my annual planning method. From finding a career I loved, to getting married and moving to the East Coast of Korea—one of the most beautiful places in the world—and starting the company I run today, now employing four people. All of these ideas began with the annual planning method. So, what is the annual planning method? Well, it's five simple questions you ask yourself and give some thought to over two months—October and November. Those five questions are: What would you like to change about yourself? What would you like to change about your lifestyle? What would you like to change about the way you work? What could you do to challenge yourself? What goals would you like to achieve? Let me explain the kind of things you can think about. What would you like to change about yourself? This is about you. Your current habits and routines. Are these delivering the results you want? When I sat down to write Your Time, Your Way, I knew I had to sacrifice some exercise time in order to write. I was okay with that, and I also knew a consequence of reducing my exercise time would be a gain in weight. Two years later, I had gained eight kilograms (about 17 ½ pounds)! Not good. If my weight exceeds 83 kilograms, I feel sluggish and quickly become tired. So, in my planning last year, I made it a non-negotiable to get my weight back to my regular weight of 80 kilograms (about 176 pounds or 12 ½ stone) Today, as I write this, my weight is 80.5 kgs. Well within my weight window. That all started with asking myself, “What do I want to change about myself?” The answer was to get back into my regular exercise routine. So, what would you like to change about yourself? Are you doing things that are not contributing to the results you want? Are you not consistently planning your days or weeks? Are you not moving enough? Are you spending too much time sitting down in front of a screen and not enough time in nature? Another one is how you dress. The pandemic saw a collapse in the way people dressed. This may not interest you, but perhaps you'd like to dress better when you go out. What could you do to improve your dress sense? Maybe you'd like to begin journaling or meditation. Write anything you consider down. You're not committing to anything yet; you're brainstorming ideas. The commitments you make come in December. October and November are all about developing ideas and going deep. The next question, “What do I want to change about my lifestyle?” Is about how you live your life every day. Is your house a mess? Do you leave your bed unmade when you get up in the morning? What about your car? Is it a garbage can on wheels? Perhaps you'd like to come home to a clean home at the end of the day? If so, what could you do to change things? One idea that my wife and I had at the end of 2019 was to move to the East Coast of Korea. To do that, we knew we'd have to finally get a car. Living in Seoul, the capital city, with its superb public transport system, meant that having a car was not a high priority for us. Yet, for us to get out of Seoul and live in a cleaner, quieter city, we needed to explore Korea. So, that became the plan: to buy a car and begin exploring possible places to live. By the end of 2020, we had a car and moved to the East Coast. That change brought some tremendously positive changes in our lives. Yet, I know that had we not sat down to talk about our future plans, we'd still be living in a crowded, noisy, polluted city. Seoul is a great city, don't get me wrong, but with 11 million people sharing it, you can imagine how noisy and crowded it can be. Is there anything you've always wanted to do relating to your lifestyle that you've never considered what you need to do to make happen? Write that down. What would you like to change about the way you work? A great question if you've found yourself stuck in a job or career that leaves you feeling dead inside. Some people I know have decided to completely change their careers when answering this question, while others have started their own businesses. It doesn't have to be as dramatic as that, though. Perhaps you don't like the structure you have in place to do your work. It could be a tools thing, too. Do you need to upgrade the way you manage your tasks and projects? What about your workspace? Does it need an overhaul? I've done that a few times. Does your current workspace feel sterile and cold? Could you change your desk or your chair? If you work from home, can you do anything to make your workspace more stimulating? Perhaps move your desk nearer a window or change the lighting? All these ideas can lead to some fantastic changes. However, you do need time to think things through, and that's what October and November are for. The fourth question is What can you do to challenge yourself? This question is there because often we get stuck in our comfort zones. We become afraid to change anything because we fear what those changes may bring. Yet, if you're not challenging yourself, you soon find yourself trapped in stagnation. Physical challenges are a great place to start. If you feel you've become a little too sedentary, perhaps you could challenge yourself to do a park run in March. Or for those of you who are more ambitious, perhaps you could challenge yourself to do a triathlon or a full marathon in 2026. What about going back to school and getting a degree? One such challenge that comes up each year on my list is to do a master's in contemporary British history. I'm sure it will be on my list this year, too. Think of the things that frighten you. Is there anything you could do to overcome that fear? The final question is What goals would you like to achieve in 2026? There's a reason this is the final question. That's because after you've thought about the previous four questions, you're more likely to think about how you can measure success in the changes you want to make. One such goal my wife and I have already added is to have a big savings goal in 2026. This will affect both our spending habits—no more fountain pen purchases for me (oh no!) We haven't settled on an amount yet, but we're thinking about it. Perhaps you want to set the goal of getting a promotion next year or finally starting that business you've been thinking about for years. Or it could simply be a bad habit that you want to stop. Doom scrolling, the new smoking bad habit, or going to bed earlier. What about reading books? How many would you like to read in 2026? The purpose of these questions is to get you to think. Think about what you want out of life. You are amazing, and there's so much you could do. Yet, you will only be able to do those incredible things if you externalise them and begin to think about how you could make them happen. The best place to keep this list of questions is in a paper notebook. I used to do this digitally, but found I was too easily distracted when trying to write them out on my iPad or phone. When I switched to writing these questions out in my Planning Book—an A4 notebook where I keep all my initial project plans, weekly planning sessions, and YouTube video plans—I found I thought more deeply and better. But, if you prefer digital notes, then by all means use that. Remember, now is not the time to make any firm commitments or even to think about how you will accomplish any of these things. Now is about idea generation. Many of the things you write down may not be practical or realistic next year, but they may begin a chain of thought that leads you towards achieving them in future years. That's why it's important to write your thoughts down in a place to return to next year. It's a starting block. I'm always amazed at what I accomplished when I review my previous years' notes on 1st October. And yes, occasionally disappointed that I didn't follow through with something. The focus, though, is ultimately on 2026. What do you want to accomplish? Now, for those of you who have taken my Time And Life Mastery programme, October's a great time to retake it. When I developed that course, my purpose was to create something you could return to each year to help stimulate ideas and remind you of what you want to do in your life. I must confess, even though it's a course I created and wrote, I use October to go through it myself. It reminds me of my long-term vision of the life I want to live and refocuses me on my objectives. If you haven't joined the programme yet, you can do so today. And if you use the coupon code “codingreat,” you'll get 50% off your purchase. I'll leave the details in the show notes for you. And there you go. That's how to plan out a fruitful, exciting year. Start now and begin thinking about what you want to change. Don't hold back either. Be as wild as you can be. You do not have to commit to anything right now. That's for December. All you are doing now is preparing the land, if you like. You can choose what to sow later. And, one more thing… Have fun with this and talk with your partner and loved ones. I involve my wife because the lifestyle question involves both of us, and the things I want to change about myself can often be stimulated by asking her what she thinks. My wife can be brutally honest, frequently leading to some excellent changes. Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.
Passion at work gets treated like something you find, as if the right job is hiding somewhere waiting to be discovered. Darren Hardy takes that apart on DarrenDaily On-Demand and offers a more useful frame built on two questions, and the first one has nothing to do with what you love doing. He uses a deliberately uncomfortable example, someone who loves a particular pastime enough to consider making a career of it, to show why alignment with your values and character matters more than enthusiasm for the activity itself. He also returns to a line from his mentor Jim Rohn about the real purpose behind setting goals. Get the two questions right, and the work stops feeling like work.

To have more, you must first become more. This episode breaks down how to apply Jim Rohn philosophy to attract the success you want. Most people focus on changing their circumstances, but the real work starts by shifting your internal state. If you feel stuck, it is likely because your current identity is capped at your current results. By examining how to become more, you can begin to shed the habits and beliefs that keep you from reaching your potential. We look at the specific steps required to align your daily actions with the person you are becoming, rather than just chasing external validation. This is a practical look at how to refine your internal compass. When you focus on personal growth instead of just the grind, you stop forcing outcomes and start creating the conditions where opportunity finds you. Success mindset is not about luck; it is about the deliberate process of upgrading your decision-making ability so you are ready when the right doors open. Subscribe for weekly mindset breakdowns, and tell me in the comments: what is one area where you are currently choosing to grow? Key topics In this episode, Randy centers the message on Jim Rohn's idea that to have more, you must first become more. He explains why attitude is the first rule for becoming more attractive in life and business, based on Earl Nightingale's teaching that attitude is the “magic word.” Randy shares a real example of his car clutch failing on the road and shows how choosing his response kept one bad moment from turning into a bad day. He connects attitude to self-talk, complaint patterns, and how you show up with family, at work, and in the marketplace. The second rule comes from Napoleon Hill: do more work than you are paid to do, or more simply, go above and beyond what is expected. Randy uses his part-time job at a golf course to illustrate small acts of initiative, like picking up trash and asking what else needs to be done. He frames extra effort as a way to build self-esteem, improve attitude, and become more valuable over time. The third rule is about making decisions as your future self, not your current self. He uses examples from fitness, wealth, and buying his dream 1969 Camaro to show how future-focused decisions change outcomes. The episode closes with a journaling exercise that asks listeners to write their dream goal, list doubts and fears on one side, and write the mindset of their future self on the other.

What if the empire you built became the thing you got lost inside? In this episode, Michael Fineman, author of The Authority Drift and co-founder of the Les Brown Prodigy Program, shares how a kid who was on his own at 15 taught himself to be an adult by listening to Les Brown cassettes in a beat-up car, and later found himself sitting across the table inking a deal with the man himself. Michael's work centers on one idea: high achievers build remarkable things and then mistake those things for their identity. When the business sells or the market shifts, they go down with it. This conversation is about catching that drift before it costs you everything. [00:05:27] What He Does and Who He Serves Spent years in corporate marketing and sales before breaking out Co-founded a supplement company helping brands create innovative products Launched clean, ethical consumer brands and later stepped back from daily operations Now focused on speaking, coaching, and his new book The Authority Drift [00:06:49] What Inspires Him Loves watching people find their true identity Many professionals do something remarkable and then become it When you are attached to a product, you go down with it if it fails Helping someone take the mask off produces joy, peace, and freedom [00:08:34] Why Masterminds Can Make It Worse Best-practice rooms create pressure to always be crushing it People feel they must show up performing rather than asking for help Entrepreneurship is ebbs and flows and every solved problem invites the next Michael jokes that constant whining is the real tell [00:09:44] What Authority Drift Actually Means People build a mask based on other people's expectations They construct an amazing life that does not agree with their center They build an empire and then get lost within its walls Founders who exit after 20 years often end up completely lost [00:11:58] The Working Dog Analogy His daughter has a highly trained Belgian Malinois that needs work to survive Without a job to do, the dog becomes agitated and directionless Remove the work entirely and a dog like that would not make it People are the same, but purpose cannot be attached to what you do [00:13:00] Where Real Identity Comes From Michael is faith-based and describes himself as a completed Jew For him identity came down to whose he was, not what he did Without that anchor, the path is stillness and returning to childhood dreams At six he wanted to make TV commercials and today he makes ads [00:14:53] Walking His Son Through It His son was on a serious basketball track before an injury ended it Performance anxiety had already been building beforehand Michael brought him back to his faith and to the difference between doing and being His son found Christian rap and is now writing again in a new form [00:15:52] The Question Most People Cannot Answer He asks people what they would do if money did not matter Most cannot answer because they buried that dream years ago The answer requires being genuinely alone and undistracted Make it a practice for a couple of weeks and it surfaces [00:18:30] The Tactical Way to Show You Are Not Taking On a first Zoom, ask the person how you can serve them People physically pull back because nobody has ever asked It immediately signals you are there to give, not extract [00:19:00] Client Impact: Jose G. Lopez Met Jose pre-COVID when he was 16 or 17 and nobody took him seriously Jose had met Les Brown but could not close anything with him Michael re-engaged the conversation and they started a company with Les together It catapulted Jose's career [00:20:03] Connecting for the Sake of It Currently connecting a hip hop producer with a triple platinum credit to a major clothing industry contact Has never charged for making introductions Feels like he participated even when he makes nothing from it The end users will never know he was there, and that is fine [00:22:58] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Les Brown Was on his own at 15 teaching himself how to be an adult Listened to Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, and Les Brown on cassettes in his old car Years later got Les on the phone and told him directly he was the guy to build his program They launched the Les Brown Prodigy Program together pre-COVID [00:24:49] The Compliment That Changed What He Thought Was Possible Coached side by side with Les through COVID to thousands of people online The day they inked the deal in Miami, Les said the meeting was for Michael, not himself Les's son told him what he liked was that Michael was not trying to be Les Brown Those words sent him to the moon and he never looked back [00:26:20] What Came Next Found the guts to quit corporate and take off the golden handcuffs Started the supplement companies that funded the next stage That funded the speaking, the courses, the funnels, and the book Now building high-level coaching around The Authority Reset program [00:27:03] The Cohorts and the Experiential Events Six men come through a nine-week online program together Between weeks three and four they meet Michael for something outside their norm Options include flying a fighter jet or following the Iditarod by helicopter The point is to break the pattern and then go deep on identity [00:28:49] Blake's Story Blake was building a concierge wellness practice for high achievers He was snapping at his kids, his wife, and his employees from constant stress The cohort helped him separate who he is from what he is building He became more loving at home and more present with his team [00:30:18] Impact That Runs Generationally One participant was 65 and another mentor figure was 70 The 70-year-old is a high-achieving minister who shifted his life direction The program is a relatively new launch and still early Michael wants to make an impact that helps others make generational impact KEY QUOTES "My identity is not rooted in what I've achieved or what I've done. My identity is rooted in who I am and whose I am." - Michael Fineman "They find out that they've built this amazing empire, but they get lost within its walls because it doesn't really align with who they actually are." - Michael Fineman "We all have the drive that we're headed towards this place, this destination, and at the end, guess who's there with you? You are." - Michael Fineman CONNECT WITH MICHAEL FINEMAN Website: https://www.authoritydrift.com Book: https://www.authoritydriftbook.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-n-fineman-the-dot-connector-2a844b13 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mike.fineman.7 Thanks for tuning in!

Million Dollar Decisions: How to Upgrade Your Thinking in Real Time In this episode of the Rich Mind Podcast, Randy Wilson challenges the traditional definition of wealth and presents the ultimate upgrade to your asset column: your real-time decision-making ability. Drawing on Jim Rohn's principle that "in order to have more, you must first become more," Randy redefines "becoming" as upgrading your internal choices from reactive $10 decisions to conscious Million Dollar Decisions. Using real-world examples—from acquiring his dream 1969 Camaro to losing nearly 30 pounds by intercepting cravings—Randy demonstrates how the Gap Thinking Framework halts the autopilot defense mechanisms that keep high-achievers playing small. Listeners receive a direct journaling protocol to define what they truly desire across Health, Wealth, and Legacy, and learn how to make high-stakes decisions from the identity of the person they are becoming. Key Takeaways: Your greatest financial and personal asset is not on a balance sheet; it is your ability to execute decisions with clarity in real time. Jim Rohn's "becoming more" means upgrading the standard of your daily choices inside the 5-second GAP. Autopilot defense mechanisms disguise fear as practical logic ("I don't have the money," "I don't have the time"). A Million Dollar Decision is made by asking: "How would the future, wealthy version of myself respond to this exact opportunity?" Triggering yourself on purpose builds the neurological muscle needed to stay calm when major opportunities present themselves.

Connect With ChazDan Rawitch started his career at nineteen years old by getting rejected from twelve interviews before someone finally gave him a shot. He went on to build the fourth largest mortgage credit reporting firm in the nation, trade bonds on Wall Street for Bear Stearns, and develop a trading indicator called Flight Station with an 87.5 percent win rate. Now he runs the University of Options with his daughters, teaching live trading classes and operating AI-powered trading bots that execute on his system automatically.In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Dan covers how he landed Jim Rohn as a mentor in college by simply taking his advice and asking him to lunch, why slow is fast when it comes to trading, how AI trading bots actually work and what makes them trustworthy or not, and why understanding money as energy is the mindset shift that unlocks everything else.Key Takeaways:Jim Rohn told a college audience that poor people should take rich people to lunch. Dan walked up after the speech and asked Jim to lunch. Jim said in all his years of giving that speech, no one had ever done that. Dan worked for him for nearly a year and learned more from him than from anyone else.Rohn told Dan to read for 30 minutes every night until he reached the highest pinnacle. He started with Think and Grow Rich and Psycho-Cybernetics, which led him to Silva Mind Control, which Dan says gave him a massive competitive advantage.For the first time in history, more options are traded than actual shares of stock. The learning curve is steep but short. Slow is fast. Paper trade first. Show your results before you trade real money.University of Options guarantees a 70 percent win rate or you do not pay. The system internally runs at an 87.5 percent win rate. Refunds are rare because failures are almost always about application, not the system.AI trading bots are built on years of data. The distinction that matters is between algorithm-based bots and neural networks that actually learn from their mistakes. Dan's bots do the latter.Every time Dan has hit a bottom in his career, he has catapulted. Tony Robbins says the bottom is a great springboard. You are not going to spring from the middle.Money is energy. Everything is built on energy and vibration. The people Dan has watched succeed were not always the most righteous people. They were the people 100 percent tuned in to what they wanted. That alignment is the real mechanism.Dan's dad lost the Cadillac, lost the big house, moved the family to a small town in Lancaster, and within three years was mayor, opened the first McDonald's, owned the biggest real estate firm, and owned the drive-in. He never seemed to care if he failed.You were put here to create. That is not a religious statement alone. It is a frequency alignment statement. When you stop waiting for permission and start creating, things come to you.Do not gear up your trading with your own capital until you are making enough to gear up with house money. The people who lose big are the ones who skipped the basics.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.Through peer mastermind and 1:1 coaching, we help you:increase profitinstall real systemsbuild a team that runs the businessget your time backVisit www.gatheringthekings.com for information on how to apply.Connect with Chaz Wolfe (Host):WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeProfit Starts with Better Books!Clean books.

Self-Trust Is Built One Promise at a TimeHow much do you actually trust yourself?Not how confident you appear. Not whether your wife, children, friends or business partners trust you.When you tell yourself you're going to do something, do you believe you'll actually follow through?In this Mindset Monday episode of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast, Funk Roberts explores one of the most powerful lessons he's learned about confidence, discipline and personal growth:Your word has to mean something to YOU, too.Most of the promises that shape our lives aren't made publicly.They're made in silence."I'm going to work out tomorrow.""I'm finally going to get my bloodwork done.""I'm going to start eating better.""I'm going to work on that business idea.""I'm going to spend more time with my wife and kids."Nobody hears these promises. There are no social media posts, accountability announcements or applause.It's just you and your word.Funk shares how a lesson he took from years of listening to Jim Rohn became a game changer in his own life: some of the most important promises he ever kept were the silent ones.Every time he followed through, he accumulated evidence that he could count on himself.That's what Funk calls your Self-Trust Bank Account.Every promise you keep is a deposit.Every repeated promise you break is a withdrawal.And over time, those deposits don't just change your habits.They change your identity.For men in their 40s, 50s and 60s, this becomes even more important. Your health can't live on promises. Your marriage can't live on promises. Your business can't live on promises. And your future can't live on promises.They require action.The solution isn't making bigger promises.It's making fewer promises—and keeping them.Promise less. Deliver more. Build evidence. Build self-trust. And eventually become the kind of man who knows:When I say I'll do something, I do itWhat You'll LearnWhy self-trust may be more important than simply trying to “feel confident”Why your word needs to mean something to youThe power of promises made and kept in silenceHow Funk used this principle to transform his own mindsetWhat the Self-Trust Bank Account isHow keeping small promises builds confidenceHow repeatedly breaking promises can create self-doubtWhy men over 40 don't need another year of “I'll start Monday”Why making too many promises sets you up to failThe power of “Promise less. Deliver more.”How small actions gradually change your identityWhy real discipline is built when nobody is watchingHow to move from the “I'll try guy” to the “I'll do guy”

Michael explains why one more phone call could change your life, why building relationships still matters in a digital world, and how consistently putting positive information into your mind can influence the way you handle bad days.John and Michael also talk about discipline over motivation, morning routines, fitness, meditation, personal development, and creating habits that help you perform at a higher level.

Who are the five people you spend the most time with?Van Deeb asks a deceptively simple question in this powerful solo episode of The Van Deeb Podcast:Who is in your 5?Your closest relationships can influence your mindset, your habits, your ambitions, and ultimately the direction of your life. Van challenges listeners to take an honest look at the people surrounding them—and consider whether those relationships are helping them grow or holding them back.As Van puts it:“Show me the 5 people you spend the most time with and I'll show you your future.”Drawing inspiration from influential personal-development voices like Jim Rohn, Les Brown, and Zig Ziglar, Van explores the importance of choosing your circle carefully, surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to become better, and having the courage to step away from relationships that are toxic or unhealthy.This isn't just a message for entrepreneurs or real estate professionals.It's a message for everyone.Take a look at your five.Are they helping you become the person you want to be?
Almost every patient who says “I wish I'd taken my health seriously sooner” already knew what to do - they just didn't do it. This episode breaks down why, and it's not laziness. Five forces are working against you: your brain is wired to choose right now over long-term, decision fatigue wears down your willpower by evening, chronic symptoms have quietly become “normal,” optimism bias and identity make healthy choices feel like a rejection of who you are, and information overload leads to giving up altogether. The fix isn't more willpower. It's a three-step reset: audit where you actually stand, make one healthy choice automatic, and reframe health as infrastructure instead of indulgence.Ready to build your plan? Book a Metabolic Blueprint Session →What This Episode CoversThis episode opens with a Jim Rohn line worth returning to: “Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.” Most of us maintain our cars better than we maintain ourselves, and this episode is about why, using both psychology and biology to explain it.It's built around a pattern that shows up constantly in practice: patients who knew what they needed to do for their health and simply didn't do it. That's not a willpower problem. It's five specific forces working against every one of us, followed by three concrete moves to work with your biology instead of against it.The 5 forces keeping you stuck1. Hyperbolic discounting. Your brain is hardwired to choose the donut today over the healthy heart in 20 years — because you can think about the future, but you can't feel it the way you feel right now.2. The silence problem. A broken bone sends you to the ER. Inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, and hormonal imbalance don't hurt — so you assume you're fine. This episode shares a (identity-protected) patient story: someone who'd been coming in for three years before mentioning, almost as an afterthought, that she was exhausted all the time. Labs and a few changes later, she realized she'd been operating at roughly 40–45% capacity without knowing it.3. Normalized poor health. When everyone around you is tired, inflamed, and running on empty, those symptoms stop registering as problems — they just start looking like “being an adult.” As this episode puts it: “Tired is not normal. Inflamed is not normal. Wired and tired is not normal.”4. Optimism bias and identity anchoring. The “it won't happen to me” voice, plus the way unhealthy habits get tied to identity, culture, and family — turning down food at a gathering can feel like rejecting the people you love; skipping happy hour can feel antisocial.5. Information overload. Keto, carnivore, vegan, seed oils good, seed oils bad, eggs are bad, eggs are a superfood — the constant contradictions lead to what psychologists call learned helplessness: people stop trying to figure it out and just do nothing.None of this is about motivation. It's about understanding the forces working against you so you can work with yourself instead of against yourself.The 3-step resetStep 1 — Do a health audit. Take five minutes and rate yourself 1–10 on energy, sleep, digestion, stress, and mental clarity. Write the numbers down. You can't improve what you're not measuring.Step 2 — Make one healthy choice the default. Don't try to fix everything at once. Pick one thing and automate it — workout clothes laid out the night before, supplements on the counter, one home-cooked meal a week. One default habit changes the trajectory.Step 3 — Reframe health as infrastructure, not indulgence. Exercise isn't time stolen from your family. Sleep isn't selfishness. Ordering the salad isn't being difficult. Health is the foundation everything else — career, relationships, joy — is built on top of. Picture your life as a number followed by zeros: health is the 1. Everything else — career, relationships, joy — are the zeros behind it. Lose the 1, and all you have left is zeros.Notable Quotes“Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.” — Jim Rohn“Tired is not normal. Inflamed is not normal. Wired and tired is not normal.”“You're either in a state of growth or in a state of decay.”“When the foundation cracks, everything above it suffers.”Your Next StepIf this episode described you — you know what to do, but keep running into roadblocks — the coaching programs referenced are built to give you the exact order of operations instead of leaving you to figure it out alone:* Metabolic Reset Reboot* Metabolic Momentum Accelerator* Cellular Reboot AcceleratorStart with a conversation: Book a Metabolic Blueprint Session → to identify what's actually holding you back and map your top three priorities.Disclaimer: This content is educational, not medical or psychological advice.

In this episode, Pat sits down with entrepreneur, business coach, and founder of ActionCOACH, Brad Sugars, to challenge conventional thinking around success, leadership, money, and the future of work.Brad explains why "do what you love" may be the wrong career advice, why mentorship is one of the greatest keys to personal growth, and how defining success for yourself is essential as your priorities change throughout life.

What if the thing that finally moves the needle in your school isn't a new system, but a phone call?This is the final episode in our three-part series on the power of community, and today we're bringing it all together: thriving together, the strength of collective wellness. We're talking about how the people you surround yourself with shape your health, your growth, your business, and honestly, your whole trajectory as a leader.I open with a quote from Jim Rohn: you are the average of the five people you spend the most time around. And once you sit with that for a second, it explains so much — why the mindset in the room rubs off on you, why a struggling season can start to feel “normal,” and why getting around leaders who are further ahead can shift everything without you doing anything differently at all.I walk through real, specific examples of what that's looked like inside our own community: a member who sold her school to another member she met inside the program, a director who got connected to her next regional manager role after a cross-country move, a leader who was saved from a construction nightmare by another member's architect referral. None of these people joined community hoping for those outcomes. That's exactly the point.What You'll Learn In This Episode:Why the five people you spend the most time with shape your beliefs, habits, and results — whether you're aware of it or notThe difference between a community that creates collective wellness and one that spreads collective distressWhy “your network is your net worth” isn't just a nice phrase — it's access to opportunities, knowledge, credibility, and long-term relationshipsA simple travel habit that keeps you exposed to new ideas outside your usual laneReal, anonymized stories of what happens when school leaders build genuine community — from business sales to job placements to saved timelinesWhy investing in community without an immediate ROI is still worth it — and why waiting until you're desperate is the wrong moveConnect With Us:Join us on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/
Who Are You Becoming Like? Proverbs 13:20 “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.” Who you hang around with and spend your time with is so important. I know I have talked about this topic before, and yet I feel it is so important for us all to truly think about it, so I am going to talk about it again. I remember several years ago I told Tony that we needed more Catholic friends. He jokingly made a comment about how we should be accepting of everyone and not limit our circle to Catholic friends. I say jokingly because he knew I wasn't saying we can only be friends with people who are Catholic. I will ask you what I asked him. If you want to be a really good tennis player, do you think it would be more helpful to hang out with other tennis players, or to hang out with soccer players? It would be more helpful to hang out with tennis players because they know what it takes to be good at tennis. Both groups of people are good people. You can learn a lot from both soccer players and tennis players. I am sure soccer players could help you learn discipline, sportsmanship, and lots of other great things. However, they will not be as much help becoming great at tennis as tennis players would. Do you see where I am going with this? I don't think everyone should surround themselves with people just like them. I don't think you should only have one type of friend. I do think you should surround yourself with people who you look up to. I think you should spend the most time with those who have the same beliefs as you do. I think you should hang out with those who have similar values as you do. Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Who you spend time with matters. There is another quote that says, “Show me your friends, and I will show you your future.” They both tell us the same thing: who we surround ourselves with is an important factor in who we become. Why is this? Why is it so important to be intentional about who we spend time with? This is so important because we become like those we spend time with. When you hang out with people for long enough, you start to talk like them, and you start to act like them. If you are Christian and all of your friends are not, then you will probably start to compromise your beliefs to fit in. You may not even do it consciously. It will probably start off small. For instance, you will not mention something amazing that happened because you don't want to mention God in front of the others. Or maybe you do mention something that happened, but you don't attribute it to God; you casually say it was a coincidence, or you got lucky. It seems when we are Christians, and our friends are not, we go out of our way not to offend anyone. We don't want to mention God because that may make them feel uncomfortable. I am so grateful I have several Christian friends, and so I can talk openly about my faith and not have to worry about offending anyone. However, I also have friends who are not Christian. I still love to hang out with them; we just keep it neutral when it comes to religion. The verse above says, “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.” Have you ever heard the saying You want to buy the cheapest house in the most expensive neighborhood? I have heard something similar when it comes to choosing your friends. I have heard that if you are the smartest person in the room, you need to find a better room. We want to be surrounded by people that make us want to be better people. People who make us want to grow and learn. We will live up to or down to the expectations given to us. If we surround ourselves with people who don't believe in us, we won't think we can do very much. If everyone around us is perfectly content with staying where they are and they don't want to grow, then growth will not be important to us either. If you are listening to this podcast, it means you want to grow; you want to learn. That is awesome. Growth is so important. By starting your day off listening to me each morning, you are inviting me into your circle of influence. I am so grateful I get to be one of the people you spend time with. Who else do you spend time with? Are they helping you reach your goals? Are they helping you grow in your faith, or are they pulling you away from it? God continually told His people in the Old Testament that He set them apart from everyone else. He set them apart and told them they could not marry people who weren't Israelites because God knows how hard it is to be surrounded by people who are different than you and to not join in their ways. Do you remember Solomon? He was one of the wisest men in the history of the Bible. God blessed him with Wisdom so he could rule the country. God had told his people they must not intermarry because they would surely turn their hearts toward other Gods. Solomon was very wise, and yet He continued to take wives from other religions. Solomon had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. If Solomon, who was given an abundance of wisdom straight from God, couldn't resist the pull of his wives, what hope do we have? If you want to grow in your faith, and you want to challenge yourself, then you need to carefully select who you spend the most time with. Some of us have family members that challenge our faith, or maybe make us feel we can't do all we want to do. If this is the case, I am not saying you can never spend time with those family members. I do, however, think you should limit your time with anyone who doesn't bring out the best in you. While it is true we don't get to choose family, we do get to choose how much time we spend with them. We do get to choose how much influence those members of our family have on our lives. Set some boundaries if you need to. Protect what you are building. Protect your beliefs from those who wish to change them. How we live in this world determines how we spend eternity. Surround yourself with people who will help you live in a way that will help you spend an eternity it the presence of God. It will be worth it, I promise! Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we ask you to help us surround ourselves with those people who will help us grow in our faith. Help us to set boundaries for those who wish to change us. The enemy is always sending people into our lives; please help us to spot them and not let them change our beliefs. Help us to follow you always. Help us to be a good influence on those in our lives and help us to help bring others close to Christ. We love you Lord, you are truly amazing. We are grateful for all you do for us. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Patience and persistence are what separate those who quit from those who eventually win. In this episode, Jim Rohn breaks down how to stay disciplined, handle setbacks, and keep moving when success takes time.Build stronger self-discipline: https://topelevation.gumroad.com/l/etkzu
Ambition means nothing without discipline. Master the principles that turn goals into results.
"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment." — Jim Rohn
Believe in your vision so deeply that other people can't understand it. Stay committed, ignore the doubt, and let your results prove that your confidence was never delusion—it was conviction. ————————————
Have you ever wondered if your time management and productivity issues might not be about the amount of work you have to do, but rather the way you think about that work?

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Since I began helping people directly with time management and productivity, I would say that around 60% of people's struggles come down to the way they organise their work, around 35% come down to the way they think about it, and only 5% come down to the volume of work coming in. Talk to practically anyone today, and they will tell you they are busy. It's almost like a badge of honour. The number one reason people say they don't exercise is that they don't have enough time. Is that really true, or is it that they value doing something else more? I'm reminded of something the legendary Jim Rohn used to say: “Don't mistake movement for achievement. It's easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is: Busy doing what?” If I look at my to-do list right now, I guess I am busy. I have this script, a newsletter and a long-form article to write. I also have to record three YouTube Shorts videos, edit them and record this podcast. I have around five pieces of feedback to write for my coaching clients, do my exercise, take Louis for a walk, and cook dinner. Yet, I don't feel busy. The reason is that I understand that it doesn't all have to be done today. All I have to do is decide what can be done today and do that. The truth is, we all have far more to do than we can do at any one time. And equally true is that it doesn't have to be done right now or even today. So, with all that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Elaine. Elaine asks, hi Carl, what advice would you give to someone who is always busy and never has time to do their most important work? Hi Elaine, love the question. Short and sweet. I would first refer you to the Jim Rohn question ” Busy doing what?” If you feel constantly busy from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, the first thing I would suggest is to look at what you are doing during your waking hours. Write down what you are doing over a period of 48 hours or so. Not just your professional work, but your personal things too. I would also add that you write out what you would prefer to be doing instead. Write these down side by side. Draw a vertical line down the middle of a page, and on the left write what you spend your days doing, and on the right what you would prefer to be doing instead. Be completely honest. If you discover, for example, that you spend 90 minutes a day on social media and a further 2 hours watching TV, write that down. You're not going to necessarily remove those. Instead, what you want to be asking yourself is whether spending time on the activities you currently spend time on is worthwhile. Initially, you will try to justify spending time on these activities. This is the same response we have when someone challenges one of our opinions. Our natural instinct is to defend ourselves. When you first write down these activities. Don't judge. Just write them down. All you want to know is precisely where your time goes. I've found that if you leave it for a few days and come back to it, you will begin to look at things a little more objectively. Instead of trying to justify the expense of your time, you begin to ask questions such as: Do I really need to do that? And is this regular event I attend worth all the extra work it produces? Often, the problem for many people is that everything they want to do requires time. Just sitting and thinking requires time, as does making a cup of coffee. Time never stands still. And the problem with time, or rather, the way we measure time, is that we have 24 hours each day. That's the one immovable part we have to deal with each day, but at least that gives us one constant. That can be worked with. If you were to study the habits and routines of highly productive people, you would notice that they all have strong barriers between the three basics of their lives. There's time for work, time for family and social life, and time for self. There's no discipline involved. It's just a strict division of time between the three. Their wake-up time is consistent. For example, if they wake up at 7:30 am, they wake up at that time every day, including weekends. Then they do something that I find most unproductive people don't do. They follow the same routine. It's their morning routine. Morning routines are interesting because each person's is different. Yet, the most stressed-out, overwhelmed and exhausted people I work with have no morning routine. They crawl out of bed, rush out the door and start on their work. There's no moment for themselves. These are the people who immediately pick up their phones to check for messages and start replying. No tea or coffee or even a bathroom break. Just open eyes, open phone, start the workday. Think about what's happening there. You come into the conscious world, and before anything else, you allow other people's priorities to take control of your day. And if you have young kids, when you leave the bedroom, your kids need attention; perhaps you need to get them ready for school, make their breakfast, all this with a brain full of all those messages you just read from your phone before you left the bedroom. One of my favourite YouTube channels is Harry's Garage. The channel is about cars, and Harry often reviews very expensive Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, Range Rovers, and Aston Martins. These are highly tuned performance cars, yet Harry will always remind us that when you start a car cold, before you can put it through its paces, you need to give it time to reach optimal operating temperature. Funnily enough, that's the same for you and me. You're not going to be at your best the moment you wake up, which means any decision you make first thing is unlikely to be the best decision you make. So, try starting your day slowly. Give yourself thirty minutes and make sure those thirty minutes are focused on you. When it comes to work, set a strict start time for yourself. So, to keep the examples in line, let's imagine you start your work at 9:00 am. Then do not consider work before then. That may take a little adjusting to, but if you develop a strong set of morning routines, you won't be thinking about work until it's time for work. Then, here's a trick. Do not allow anything to be scheduled for the first 30 minutes of your day. This is your getting a heads up on the day time. It's when you can say hello and chat with your co-workers, deal with any emergencies and check to make sure there are no fires lurking in your inbox. Those thirty minutes are also a great time to review your plan for the day. Now, when I say “plan,” I simply mean making sure you know where your appointments are and what your must-do tasks for the day are. It's a simple two-minute review and gives you time to map out your day. Mapping out your day is just about deciding when you will do your must-do tasks. Your meetings are fixed, so what you are looking for is the gaps in between and deciding what you will do in those gaps. Now here's the thing: just as it's important to have a strict start time, there also needs to be a strict closing time for work. Let's imagine that you set 6:00 pm as your end-of-work time; this means that around 5:50 pm, you stop what you're doing, review what you've done, and reschedule anything you didn't get to. Then look at what you have on your calendar for tomorrow, and decide on your two must-do tasks. That's it. Done. Then it's family and social time. Now, as you listen to these words, it may sound like a lot. But is it? What you are doing is automating as much as you can so you are not rushing around trying to decide what to do next. It's all this decision-making that's mentally exhausting you. If you can automate these decisions by having a morning routine, a work closing-down sequence, and mapping out your workday, you'll find that you feel less busy, more in control and much less tired at the end of the day. We feel so busy all the time because we tend to look at long lists of things to do. For example, if you look at your Slack messages or email, you are looking at each individual message. It's natural. It's a long list of stuff you feel you must attend to. Yet, if you were to treat your Slack or Teams messages and email as one task, all you need to decide is when you will handle them. For example, if you decide that at 4:30 pm you will work on your messages and spend an hour on them, then it doesn't matter how many messages you have in there. You will respond to as many as you can. Another quick tip: start with the oldest first. These can often be dealt with much faster than messages that have just come in. Don't worry, if you stay consistent with this, you'll soon find yourself getting back on top of them. Now, for those of you who tend to procrastinate, the science behind it is fascinating. Procrastination is a perfectly normal human reaction. It has nothing to do with laziness or any other human condition. It's actually what psychologists call an “emotional regulation response”. When you look at a long report or a messy inbox, your brain sees a threat. It anticipates boredom, failure, or making a fool of yourself. And so your brain sets off an alarm to protect you. And how does it protect you? By pushing you towards easier tasks. Cleaning your desk or looking at social media, for example. (Or, in my case, cleaning a fountain pen and refilling it) Incredibly productive people aren't immune to these negative emotions. Instead, what they have done is build systems and processes to do their work. “It's 4:30 pm, time to do my communications.” Oh, it's time to work on that report”. These systems make it extremely difficult to not do the work. This is why putting in place strict barriers around your personal, social and professional life works. You are not allowing your brain to set off an emotional response. You turn up, you know what to do and do it. And this planning does not take much time. Planning the day may take 5 minutes; reviewing your plan in the first 30 minutes of your workday may take 2 minutes. That's it. Then you follow your plan. Sure, there will be interruptions, distractions and other people's emergencies. Deal with them as best you can, then get back to your plan. If you have to revise your plan, do so. This does not mean you've failed. All it means is you've adjusted your plan. I hope that helps, Elaine. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.
