Do you want to become the best and most heroic version of yourself possible? Of course, you do! Today, Michael Balchan explains how to achieve this by taking your goals and habits from theory to practice.   About Michael Balchan Michael Balchan is the Co-Creator and a Founding Partner of Heroic, a social training platform built to change the world by helping you be the best, most Heroic version of yourself. A Harvard Graduate who studied Psychology and Economics, Michael spent ten years in finance and then launched a private coaching practice working with corporate executives, elite athletes, and startup leadership teams. As President of Heroics' sister company and personal development platform Optimize Coach, he helped launch and lead the program which serves more than 5,500 people from over 95 countries. Michael regularly teaches personal growth, positive psychology, peak performance, habit creation, wellness, relationships, and leadership. Micheal has been interviewed about these topics on The Quarter-Life Comeback, Good Day DC, and more. He is a top 10% Ironman finisher and lives in Chicago with his wife and two young daughters.   Change Starts With You In this episode, Michael explains how change starts with one person at a time and the first person is you. Before you can lead others, you have to lead yourself. This begins by recognizing your emotional state, your physiological state, and understanding how you're showing up. Michael promises that, if we begin by taking personal responsibility, our impact will be that much more powerful. It will powerfully influence relationships, your business, and everyone connected to you.   For Heroes, It's All About the Process Michael wants us all to be heroes. In its truest sense, a hero is a protector motivated by love. When you're willing to express the best version of yourself and use that in service, you are heroic.  Yet, we often find something standing in the way of taking the actions we want to take. Michael wants you to remember that this doesn't mean that something is wrong with you. Rather, you may just not be designing your environment properly. With that in mind, he describes some small steps you can take right away to build an environment designed to help you succeed.  Making changes and growing will be uncomfortable. That's how you know it's working. But by not letting discomfort get you off track, you can continue making gains. Michael takes this a step further by designing systems that make it feel good to do what is actually good for us. This centers around celebrating every accomplishment no matter how trivial it may seem. What small win can you celebrate today!
