Sometimes we just need to take a break from the strenuous work we devote to masking our craft. The piano drove this point home to me this week and it was supported by chance when I began preparing for an upcoming presentation focusing on "Branding." Give me five minutes and see if what I have to say today resonates with you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you holding back your real estate growth because you're afraid to let go of control? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with the sharp and candid Sasha Tripp, founder of Story House Real Estate in Central Virginia. Sasha opens up about her journey from independent boutique brokerage owner to partnering with Real and Place to scale her operations without sacrificing her brand. With a strong emphasis on leadership, systems, and strategic partnerships, she shares how she broke through growth plateaus and found new ways to elevate both her agents and her own career. Sasha dives into the biggest roadblocks agents face when scaling: fear of hiring, delegation paralysis, and the unwillingness to systematize. She unpacks why mindset—not just skillset—is often the reason agents plateau. From firing her first assistant nine times (yes, really) to building a scalable machine supported by backend platforms like Place, this episode is a goldmine for any agent who's tired of doing it all solo and ready to make a quantum leap.

Elias Makos is joined by Caroline Codsi, Founder & Chief Equity Officer, Women in Governance, and Sue Smith is a Montreal journalist and broadcaster. With Pablo Rodriguez out as leader, rumours are already swirling surrounding who will replace him. Three thousand dollars worth of food was stolen from a Metro grocery store on Monday in the Plateau. A group called Robins des ruelles says they are the ones responsible for the theft and posted an image of some of the stolen goods underneath a Christmas Tree in Parc Valois. Montreal is making it easier to live in tents along Notre-Dame Street. According to La Presse, the city will install trailers in the area starting early next year, allowing homeless people living in tents to keep warm and access basic amenities. Hockey Canada and Curling Canada say they have no plans to follow Skate Canada’s lead when it comes to future events in Alberta.

After talking about my diet and training lately, I talk about eating strategies for the holidays and resetting and reflecting on 2025. Eating Strategies for the Holidays (5:14) Resetting and Reflecting (16:09)

Les fêtes approchent et, sur beaucoup de tables, le plateau de fromages occupe une place de choix. En Belgique, selon l'observatoire de la consommation de l'Apaq-W, on consomme en moyenne près de 14 kilos de fromage par personne et par an, preuve que ce plaisir fait partie intégrante de nos habitudes. Mais au-delà de la gourmandise, le fromage peut aussi être un choix engagé, surtout lorsqu'il est produit localement. Selon un sondage d'ailleurs, 36% des Wallons savent où se procurer un fromage wallon près de chez eux et 36% disent en consommer au moins une fois par semaine. Besoin d'inspiration ? En voici trois : Premier arrêt dans le Condroz namurois, à la Fromagerie du Gros Chêne, pour découvrir le Calendroz. Ce fromage à pâte molle et croûte fleurie est élaboré à partir de lait cru bio. Jeune, il est doux et délicat ; plus affiné, il gagne en caractère. Derrière ce fromage, un artisan passionné, Daniel Cloots, qui travaille exclusivement avec des laits de vache, de chèvre ou de brebis issus d'élevages respectueux des animaux et des sols.Direction ensuite le plateau de Herve, mais loin des clichés du fromage à l'odeur redoutée. Ici, place à la Meule du Plateau Réserve, un fromage pressé à pâte cuite, affiné pendant un an et demi. Inspiré des fromages d'alpage, il est produit à partir de lait de vaches nourries au foin. Un fromage de garde, complexe et élégant, qui démontre que le terroir belge peut rivaliser avec les grandes traditions fromagères européennes.Troisième découverte : le Bailli Fermier, une pâte pressée non cuite produite à la Ferme du Bailli à Soignies. Facile à découper, accessible à tous les palais, il se déguste aussi bien sur une tartine qu'en cubes à l'apéritif. Plus savoureux qu'un fromage industriel, mais sans excès, il incarne parfaitement l'équilibre entre plaisir et simplicité.Ces trois fromages ont un point commun essentiel : ils sont locaux. Choisir un fromage de chez nous, c'est soutenir des producteurs passionnés, valoriser une agriculture à taille humaine et réduire l'impact environnemental lié au transport. C'est aussi redécouvrir des goûts authentiques, loin de l'uniformisation industrielle.Contrairement à une idée reçue, le fromage artisanal n'est pas forcément plus cher. Comme le rappelle Pascal Fauville, sacré meilleur fromager de Belgique en 2010, "à qualité égale, le prix que vous trouvez en fromagerie est pareil que des produits que vous trouvez en supermaché. A la place d'avoir un prix à la barquette, le public voit un prix au kg, ce qui change la perception et ce qui lui donne l'impression que c'est plus cher." Ce que le consommateur paie, c'est la qualité du lait, le temps d'affinage et le travail humain. Et surtout, derrière chaque fromage, il y a un visage, une ferme, une histoire.À l'approche des fêtes, composer un plateau de fromages belges, c'est donc bien plus qu'un choix gourmand : c'est un geste concret pour le goût, le terroir et l'économie locale.Vous aimez ce contenu ?

Most companies plateau. Brad shows you why and how to break through. In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad Sugars explains the real ceilings businesses hit at $1M, $3M, and $10M and what it actually takes to push past each one. He breaks down the “million-dollar founder ceiling,” where everything still runs through you; the $3M systems ceiling, where the business is trapped in people's heads instead of documented processes; and the $10M leadership ceiling, where growth stalls because you haven't built leaders who can build the next phase.Brad also dives into the biggest enemy of scale: complexity. He explains why simplifying products, narrowing focus, and doing the one thing you can be the best in the world at is the fastest path to $100M. He shares lessons from Apple, McDonald's, and even Cheesecake Factory to show how modularization and clarity unlock leverage.From there, Brad walks you through the real choke points that stop companies from scaling, and how each one suffocates growth if you don't solve it early. He then lays out the path forward: building systems at $1M, building leaders at $3M, and building strategy at $10M, so you can scale from there to $100M and beyond.If you want to understand exactly why businesses stall, and what to do next, this is the episode for you. See you next week, on the 100M Entrepreneur Podcast, new episode every Wednesday.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

You're working out, trying to cut back on sugar and cook at home more, but the scale hasn't moved in months. It's getting to the point where you are wondering, "What the heck am I doing wrong?" In this episode, I walk you through what's really happening when your weight stalls, why changing everything isn't the answer (or putting more effort), and how one of my clients went from sitting at the same weight for 8 months to finally losing 8 pounds in the first 60 days of us working together. And y'all— I didn't make her star tover or blow her entire weight loss plan out. Instead, we focused on adjusting the workout and eating habits that will make the most progress. So get ready as I share what a weight loss plateau actually is, why your body might be responding the way it is right now, and what's next. -Why being “kind of consistent” isn't enough to judge a plateau, and the question you need to ask yourself before changing anything -The difference between effort and effectiveness, especially if you've been repeating the same meal plan and workouts for months -Why switching plans too quickly keeps your body stuck, even when you're trying to “do better.” -Know exactly what a plateau is actually asking you to adjust, instead of abandoning everything and starting from scratch Book a call to get your custom holiday plan: https://calendly.com/superlysam/6-months-1-1-coaching-sales-call Apply for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love?

In this profound conversation, Dr. Daniel Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, and bestselling author—shares groundbreaking insights on parenting, brain development, and human flourishing.Dr. Daniel Siegel is one of the world's leading experts on interpersonal neurobiology and author of influential books including "The Developing Mind," "Parenting from the Inside Out," "The Whole-Brain Child," and "Mindsight." His work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice.THE CORE PRINCIPLE: INTEGRATIONDaniel Siegel introduces the foundational concept governing well-being across all scales—from neurons to nations.Integration means honoring differences (differentiation) while creating connections (linkage). When integration is blocked, we experience chaos, rigidity, or both. The revolutionary equation: integrative relationships create integrated brains, which generate resilient minds, meaningful relationships, and flourishing lives.TEMPERAMENT VS. PERSONALITY: THE NEUROSCIENCEDr. Siegel reveals cutting-edge research on how temperament—rooted in brain stem connectivity formed in the womb—differs from personality. Temperament is inborn (not necessarily genetic) and characterised by sensitivity and intensity across three core motivational drives: Agency (embodied empowerment), Bonding (relational connection), and Certainty (predictability and safety). Personality develops as we adapt our temperament through experience, particularly attachment relationships.THE BEST PREDICTOR OF CHILD OUTCOMESThe most powerful finding in attachment research: how parents make sense of their own life history predicts their child's development better than what actually happened to them. PRACTICAL PARENTING WISDOMLearn the "4 S's" framework—how children need to be Seen, Soothed, Safe, and Secure. Discover why humans evolved for "alloparenting" with multiple caregivers. Understand the COAL state of mind (Curious, Open, Accepting, Loving) when navigating challenging behaviors.NINE DOMAINS OF INTEGRATIONDr. Siegel explains practical applications: Left-Right Integration (your infant's right-hemisphere communication), Vertical Integration (accessing body wisdom), Memory Integration (transforming implicit memories), and Consciousness Integration (the "Wheel of Awareness" practice).THE MWE IDENTITYDaniel Siegel offers hope: we can raise the next generation with expanded identity—not just "me" but "MWE" (me + we), recognizing we're part of interconnected systems. This shift could transform humanity's trajectory toward collaboration and thriving.Other References: "Mothers and Others" by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Roger Sperry's Nobel Prize work (1981), Carol Dweck's research, Ed Tronick's "Still Face Experiment," Jaak Panksepp's affective neuroscience, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang's research(00:00) Introduction (02:59) What is Integration?

Some of us might not be doing enough, but many times when you hit a plateau, you are doing too much of the same thing, or too intense, too often. Change it up. Back off. Give your body, muscles, and mind time to rest and recover. Most of the magic happens during recovery. Don't underestimate doing something less intense, or having more recovery time.

In dieser Folge von Klettern – einfach festhalten sprechen wir über eines der frustrierendsten Themen im Training: das Leistungsplateau. Jede*r kennt es – am Anfang geht alles schnell voran, die Zahlen steigen, die Moves werden leichter … und plötzlich bleibt die Leistung stehen. Warum passiert das? Und noch wichtiger: Wie kommst du da wieder raus?Ich zeige dir Schritt für Schritt, wie du die echten Ursachen eines Plateaus herausfindest – egal ob du kletterst, boulderst oder allgemein Krafttraining machst.Wir sprechen darüber, warum sich viele Athleten*innen unbewusst selbst limitieren, indem sie Belastungen nicht steigern, Sätze, Gewichte und Wiederholungen einfach konstant lassen oder zu selten die Trainingsvariablen anpassen. Du erfährst, wie du die richtige Balance aus Trainingsvolumen, -intensität und -frequenz findest – und warum diese Balance individuell sehr unterschiedlich ist.Ein zentrales Thema der Episode ist die Nachvollziehbarkeit deines Trainings. Ein Trainingstagebuch zeigt dir klar, ob du dich wirklich nicht verbesserst oder ob dein Plateau womöglich nur gefühlt ist. Außerdem erkennst du, ob du dich überforderst, unterforderst oder ob deine Regenerationszeiten sinnvoll gesetzt sind.Wir gehen außerdem auf moderne Trainingsmodelle ein und warum Stagnation ein wichtiges Zeichen dafür sein kann, deine Trainingsmethode zu verändern – zum Beispiel den Fokus auf neue Reize, andere Belastungszonen oder spezifischere Ziele zu legen.Ein weiterer großer Faktor: Ernährung.Viele Plateaus entstehen schlicht durch zu wenig Energie. Du erfährst:Was passiert, wenn du zu wenig Kohlenhydrate isstWarum der Körper bei Kohlenhydratmangel Proteine abbautWarum zu wenig Protein langfristig Muskelaufbau verhindertWas ein Kaloriendefizit mit Muskelabbau zu tun hatWir sprechen auch über den unterschätztesten Bereich überhaupt: Regeneration.Zu wenig Schlaf, fehlende Pausen, Mikrostress und dauerhaft hohe Belastung führen zu Übertraining, Ermüdungsbrüchen, Sehnenreizungen – und natürlich zu einem massiven Leistungsplateau.Zum Schluss erkläre ich, warum ich als Coach immer erreichbar bin und wie wichtig individuelle Anpassung und Feedback sind, um Fortschritte kontinuierlich sichtbar zu machen.Wenn du gerade stagnierst oder das Gefühl hast, auf der Stelle zu treten: Diese Folge zeigt dir, wie du die Ursachen erkennst – und wie du dein Training wieder in Richtung Fortschritt bringst.__________________________________________Webseite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.einfachfesthalten.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠E-Mail: kontakt@einfachfesthalten.deAuf meiner Webseite:Exklusive PodcastfolgenIndividuelle TrainingspläneTechnikanalysenTrainingsmodelleKletterdesignsUnterstütze mich:Steady:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://steadyhq.com/de/einfachfesthalten/about?utm_campaign=discover_search&utm_source=steady_discover⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal: marvin.weinhold@gmail.comUm meinen Podcast zu unterstützen, kannst du jederzeit etwas per PayPal spenden oder Steady nutzen, um meinen Podcast am Leben zu erhalten.

Most chiropractors plateau for reasons that have nothing to do with marketing, money, or motivation.The real problem? They get trapped in one of two extremes: blind optimism or defeated realism. In this episode, we explore the Stockdale Paradox—a mindset framework that helps you hold unshakeable faith in your vision while confronting the brutal facts of your current reality. You’ll learn how this paradox shows up in the three core problems facing every chiropractic practice—no one knows you, no one stays, and no time—and how to use it to create more clarity, stability, and predictable growth. If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure of your next step, this episode will show you the mindset shift that breaks the cycle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a text In this episode of The Incubator Podcast, recorded live at Hot Topics in Neonatology in Washington, DC, we sit down with Dr. Daniele De Luca, Chief of Pediatric and Neonatal Critical Care at AP-HP Paris-Saclay University and leader of one of Europe's largest NICUs. Dr. De Luca discusses the groundbreaking Lancet Child & Adolescent Health Commission on the Future of Neonatology, a three-year initiative involving over 100 global key opinion leaders addressing the critical innovation gap in our specialty. He explores why neonatal medicine has experienced a slowdown in therapeutic advances since the 1990s, despite treating patients who will become citizens for decades ahead. The conversation covers the multifactorial barriers to innovation—from regulatory challenges to funding constraints—and the Commission's comprehensive recommendations for industry, regulators, academic centers, and patient representatives. Dr. De Luca emphasizes the urgent need to avoid treating babies in 20 years the same way we did 20 years ago, highlighting specific examples like the decades-long journey from drug development to registration and the paradox of FDA-approved equipment. He calls for a united approach to elevate neonatology's profile, establish formal specialty recognition, and accelerate the translation of research into bedside care.  Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Every podiatrist hits a plateau at some point in their career; when growth stalls, motivation dips, and business feels flat. But a plateau isn't failure; it is feedback. In this short solo episode, I share how to shift your mindset, avoid impulsive changes, and use a plateau as an opportunity to reset, refocus, and rebuild momentum. I also explore three types of plateaus, REVENUE, MOTIVATION & TEAM, and offer strategies to overcome each one. If you're ready to move from "stuck" to strategic, this one's for you.

Particularly in the early stages, breaking through your sales plateau may just mean doing more of what you’re doing. But generally, at some point, we hit a plateau that is created by the fact that we can’t run any faster. We can’t do any more by ourselves. So we either need to implement new procedures and new processes, we need to get some help, or something needs to change fundamentally in the business in order to get us to that next level. Identifying the Real Causes of a Sales Plateau David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today’s episode, cohost Jay McFarland, and I will be discussing the idea of breaking through your sales plateau. Welcome back, Jay. Jay: It’s so good to be here again with you David, and as always, I’m very excited about this topic. I know businesses that hit these thresholds. Breaking through can be a monumental task to get to the next level and they’re not sure how to do it. Is it marketing? Is it adding new products? I think that’s what a lot of them try to do. They’re like, well, let’s add 10 more products to the lineup and then we’ll do it. And oftentimes that can just make the situation worse and not better. David: Yeah, it’s true. Most businesses, I think it’s safe to say, at some point run into a sales plateau. They hit a level of sales and they can’t get past it. I believe in small businesses this is particularly true, where you’re just working and pushing and you’re trying to get to that next benchmark. And you just can’t reach it. There are thresholds in small business, getting to your first hundred thousand in gross sales and then your first 250, and then you hit 500 and then a million and then 2 million and going from there. In the early stages, you can generally do pretty well, like to get from a hundred thousand to 250 is often easier than it is to get from a million to 2 million. But most of us, at some point, will encounter some sort of sales plateau. You get there, you see it, you’re targeting it, you’re working toward it and you just can’t seem to hit it. Breaking through becomes a challenge. You May Not Know How You Got Here And so it’s really just a matter of getting stuck. It’s like, I feel like I’m stuck. I’m here, I need to be there and I’m not sure what to do next. Jay: Yeah. And I wonder how much of it is that they’re not really sure how they got to the first sales plateau. I mean, they may think that they know, David: That’s true. Jay: But it could be something completely different. And this could go back to something we talked about in a previous podcast: following up with your customers. Find out why they purchased, how they feel about their purchase. Are they returning customers? Are they not returning customers? So if you didn’t understand why they bought in the first place and how they felt about that purchase, it’s going to be hard breaking through that next sales plateau. David: It is, absolutely. And the biggest hangup that I see for most people is not knowing, “what do I do next?” And as you indicated, people get to a certain point in some cases, they’re not sure how they did it. What’s that referred to as? Unconscious competence? Jay: Mm-hmm, David: Where I’m doing things and it’s working, but I’m not even sure of what I’ve done. So I haven’t gotten around to building a system around it, to put that into place so I can replicate it. But there’s also the idea that what gets me to here will not necessarily get me to there. Right? So breaking through to level one won’t necessarily get me to level two. When Hard Work Doesn’t Result in Breaking Through That’s not always the case, particularly in the early stages, you can do more of what you’re doing to get to a higher level. But generally, at some point, we hit a sales plateau that is created by the fact that we can’t run any faster. We can’t do any more by ourselves. So we either need to implement new procedures and new processes. Or we need to get some help. Something needs to change fundamentally in the business, in order to keep breaking through that sales plateau and get us to the next level. Jay: Yeah, something that can be very hard for people, delegation, right? Letting go of your baby, right? David: Yeah. Jay: That you worked so hard on. And now you’re going to trust some new employee with some new aspect. It’s not easy to hand those things over. But often, if you’re not willing to do it, you’re not going to grow through that next sales plateau. Refusing to Delegate Can Lead to a Sales Plateau David: That’s true. And some people don’t want to. Some people are like, okay, look, I don’t want to have employees. I’m comfortable with the way things are. And if they are, then that’s fine. If they want to get to another level of sales though, then it’s really going to be a lot more about processes. If you’re determined not to get additional help, at least in terms of human resources, then you’re going to have to figure things out in terms of either technological resources or being able to do more of what you need to do so that you can keep breaking through to get to the levels you want to reach. So in looking at getting stuck, at hitting a sales plateau that you can’t reach, one of the first things I would suggest is that we ask ourselves, okay, what’s causing this? Am I just not able to get enough customers? In other words, could I handle more business, but I either don’t know how to do it, or I’m not successful in doing what I know? Is Your Breaking Through Problem Not Enough Customers? Or Too Many? Or I’m doing what I know and it’s not working? Because if that’s the issue, if it’s just a matter of getting more clients, there are very specific things that we can do to make that happen. On the other hand, if we’ve got a lot of clients and we feel like we can’t keep up with the clients we have, then that is certainly going to prevent us from breaking through to the next level. Unless we can either leverage things so we can get more from the clients we have without having to add more or we figure out how to get some help, depending on our willingness to want to do that. Jay: Yeah. And, an important one, can we take our existing clientele and get them to come back? We’ve talked about this before, right. You know, David: mm-hmm. Jay: It’s going to be easier to get an existing customer to repurchase if they were satisfied and if that’s your type of product. Some products are one and done, and that’s just the way it is. Breaking Through the Sales Plateau with Existing Clients But if you can have a product where they’re like, I like this, I need more of this. I want to come back for this… having systems to remind them to come back, drip, programs and those types of things, to get them to be a return customer. That could be the biggest source of your income. And you’re not spending extra money to acquire new customers for breaking through that next sales plateau. David: Exactly. And when we get to a point where we know we want to be somewhere, and we’re not quite there, identifying what that biggest bottleneck is, is one of the most important things. There’s a big distinction between the idea of potential, where I could potentially be, and what’s keeping me from getting there. And a lot of people focus on the idea of adding more potential. Well, maybe if I add this or I add this, or I add this, I add all these different things for the potential of getting to where I want to be. And instead, to get past that, what they really should be looking at is “what is the bottleneck?” Fixing the Primary Bottleneck that Creates a Sales Plateau What is the single biggest contributor to the fact that I’m not breaking through? What is the one primary thing that is preventing me from getting past that? Is it the people? Is it the customers I’m interacting with? There are a lot of businesses who, if they want to reach their sales levels, they’re going to have to jettison some customers who are not spending as much money with them. A lot of times, low-dollar, low-profit clients who take up a lot of time, who are very demanding, can take up valuable time that could be spent with people who understand and appreciate better, the value that you bring to the table. So if it is a situation where you don’t want to add staff, then you’re going to have to be extremely selective, going back to another point we raised in a previous podcast, about the people that you bring in the door to begin with. The prospects and clients that you choose to interact with. Jay: Yeah, and in that case, you’re going to have to have a system to identify what type of customer they are, classify them and then figure out is this the type of customer that we want? Letting Go of Poor Quality Clients If it is, then you’re going to want to target them and focus more on them. If it’s not, then you’re going to kind of want to let them slowly disappear so that you can focus on the ones that you want. David: Yeah. And I think for a lot of us, if you’ve been in business for any length of time, you have a favorite customer or two. And so a really easy exercise you can do is take a look at those customers and say, okay, what do they have in common? What is it that I like about them? Is it their attitude? Is it the way they communicate? I mean, communication is huge. One of the very first things that will tell you if you’ve got a problem client is their unwillingness to communicate. If they’re not communicating the way that you need to have them communicate in order to fulfill an order or get the work done, that is a relationship that’s really in trouble. Breaking through becomes much harder. Communication Problems: The Early Warning Sign In hindsight, every time I’ve had, in business, a relationship that didn’t work out, it almost invariably came down to a problem with communication. Where the person that I was trying to help was not willing to communicate enough to allow me to do that. And in today’s society, in today’s economy, we refer to the term “ghosting,” where you’re trying to reach somebody and they’re not getting back to you. And that’s a bad sign. When people do that to you consistently, you need to ask yourself, okay, is this the type of client that I really want to continue to interact with on an ongoing basis? Or am I better served to find clients who are open, and willing to engage, and responsive, so that we can do the things that we’re setting out to do together? Jay: Yeah, I love that. And also the customer who is responsive to your suggestions and ideas. I love the question when there’s been an issue, “what can I do to make it right?” I just love this question. Right? Let them decide. But we all know that there are customers who, no matter what you do, they just want to be mad. They just want to be angry. They just want to vent. And they’ve already decided they’re not going to use you. You have to be able to know at some point where you’re like, okay, I’ve offered three or four solutions. They’re not biting on any of them. They just want to continue to rail on me. When a Customer Won't Be Satisfied—No Matter What You Do I mean, at that point, you just have to cut bait and run. Because you just don’t have the time in your day to deal with those type of people. David: Yeah. I mean, you have to do the best you can. If there’s something that you did wrong, you need to do your very best to make it right. Do what you feel is appropriate. And if that’s still not good enough, and if you’re not able to do whatever it is, they’re suggesting. Yeah. Then you’re going to have to figure out a way to wrap that up as amicably as possible. But also recognize that you can do as great a job as you possibly could for a person. And for whatever reason, if they’re not happy, they can still go online and tell a hundred people about you. Jay: That’s true. David: Right? Jay: That’s true. What Clients Say Can Impact Your Sales Plateau David: So there’s this balance, particularly now, where you want to do your very best for the clients that you’re working with. You want to make sure that they’re satisfied as much as you possibly can satisfy them. But as you indicated, there are people who are just not going to be satisfied no matter what you do. And in those situations, sometimes you just have to cut your losses and take your lumps. And very often people will recognize when they hear people like that complaining, that “oh, okay. I think this is kind of what they do.” And as long as you’re not doing that with many people. I mean, if that happens once or twice, and you’ve got people over the course of a career where you’ve had a situation like that, that’s not going to cause a problem. Now, if a lot of people are reacting to you like that, then you got to really start looking at what you’re doing, what you’re putting out there and how you’re responding to them. Jay: Yeah, asking yourself those difficult questions. But you know, we’re talking about sales plateaus and breaking through a sales plateau. You mentioned, I mean the ideal is to have a customer review system where people can see all these five-star reviews. Reviews as a Sales Plateau Breaker I am amazed at how much I use those, even though I know that a lot of them, I don’t know how true they are, but it has still become part of my life to look at those reviews. And if there are negative reviews right off the top, I’m moving on to the next person. They’ve lost me instantly. So that’s an important part of this process. David: Yeah, absolutely. I know when I’m online, I definitely look at the reviews and I try to make sure there are enough of them. Jay: Mm-hmm David: If there are three of them and they’ve got all five stars, I could be skeptical. If they have hundreds of reviews or thousands of reviews, and they’re all five stars, I’m more inclined to believe it. Now that might be able to be done with bots, I don’t know. But I tend to have more confidence when there are actual comments there that look legit. And when there are enough of them. One of the things that we have on our website is what I call our Wall of Fame, which is clients that we’ve worked with, that we’ve helped to grow their sales and profits. And they’re at TopSecrets.com/results. Using Testimonials for Breaking Through If you go to that page, there are dozens or more. There are videos. There are audios. There’s text. All the people who have recently commented on experiences they’ve had so that when somebody’s considering doing business with us, I can say, Hey, listen, take a look at our Wall of Fame. I would love to see you on here. Right? So they can look at it from two standpoints. Not just, these are people who have been helped by this company, but also, wow, I think I’d like to be on there too. I’d like to be on the Wall of Fame. I’d like to be another happy customer, getting the kind of results that these other people are getting. And that also goes to the idea of community-building and interacting with people the way that we need to interact with them, to create the results we’re looking for. So from the standpoint of breaking through your sales plateau, it’s sort of all of the above. It’s about saying there are things that are preventing me from getting from here to there. It could be the quality of customers I’m interacting with. Or the quantity of customers I’m interacting with. It could be my own internal structures, systems, staffing. Zeroing In on Your Primary Obstacles So identifying certainly the top one, but the top two or three primary obstacles, and then systematically tackling those, is really what’s going to get you there. Jay: Yeah, I love that. But having an awareness of it. Talking about it. Discussing about it, you know, in your company and identifying those things. And, that’s what you’ll help them do as you workshop this through the week. David: Exactly. In the Inner Circle this week, we’ll be discussing how do we start breaking through our sales plateau? And in situations like this, it’s great to be able to interact with somebody who has a very specific situation, where they’ve been stuck at a certain point for a long time. And within a matter of a couple of questions, we can very often help them to pinpoint the area where they’re stuck so that they can apply some focus on that and start to get the results that they’re looking for. So if you’re not already a member, be sure to go to TopSecrets.com/ic. If you’re already a member, just log into the Inner Circle website and we will see you inside. Jay: Well, I love that. Real actionable advice that can make a difference, right away. David: Exactly. Jay: All right, David, it’s been such a pleasure. Thank you. David: Thank you, Jay.

Most people still believe excellence is a gift. This episode shows you why that idea is false — and why that belief is quietly capping your potential. Today I break down one of my favourite pieces of performance research: The Making of an Expert by Anders Ericsson (the researcher behind Peak). It's a rare, compact overview of what actually creates world-class performance in any field — business, coaching, sport, relationships, leadership, anything. Inside, we cover: • why experts are made, not born • why “being talented” predicts nothing • why most founders plateau early • the real definition of expertise (and why it's uncomfortable) • what deliberate practice actually looks like • why most people never come close to their potential • how to structure your own path to elite performance • the role of coaches, feedback, and psychological stretch • why your mind — not your tactics — determines your ceiling If you're a founder who feels capable of far more than you're currently producing, this episode will give you a scientific blueprint for becoming exceptional — not through motivation, but through real sets and reps. This is how world-class performers are built. And it's available to you.

If your progress has flatlined and you're tempted to scrap your program, hit pause. In this episode, we show you how to diagnose a training or fat-loss plateau and make one targeted adjustment that gets momentum back fast—no overhaul required. You'll get a simple plateau audit (food, sleep, stress, intensity, movement), a tweak vs. trust decision tool so you know when to adjust and when to ride it out, and tiny changes that create big shifts in 7–14 days—like smarter carb timing, a single back-off set, or adding 1,000 steps to your daily average. Perfect for busy lifters, runners, and parents who want progress without burning down what's already working.

This important new work, Buddhist Landscapes: Art and Archaeology of the Khorat Plateau, 7th to 11th Centuries (NUS Press, 2023) by Stephen Murphy, build on extensive fieldwork and archaeological surveys to reveal the Khorat Plateau as having a distinctive Buddhist culture, including new forms of art and architecture, and a characteristic aesthetic. By combining archaeological and art historical analysis with an historical ecology approach, Murphy traces the outlines of Buddhism's spread into the region, along its major river systems. In this episode, hosted by Natali Pearson, Murphy shows how he has read this history into and against the Khorat landscape, attending to the emergence of monumental architecture such as stūpa, and Buddha images carved into the rockfaces of hills and mountainsides, and the importance on the Khorat Plateau of the use of boundary markers, or sīmā. This book provides a new picture of the region in the first and early second millennia, adding to our understanding of the development of Buddhism in Southeast Asia, and offering a new basis for other regionally-focused scholarship to thrive —from textual Buddhology to history to anthropology. As Murphy explains, this opens up new possibilities for understanding the early spread of Buddhism within different landscapes across Asia. Dr Stephen A. Murphy specialises in the art and archaeology of early Buddhism and Hinduism in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Malaysia. He is the Pratapaditya Pal Senior Lecturer in Curating and Museology of Asian Art, and Chair of the Centre of South East Asian Studies, at SOAS University of London. Learn more about your ad choices.

Lionel leads an extensive conversation about new research that identifies four distinct phases of the average adult brain, marked by turning points at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83, which suggests a non-linear progression of intelligence and neural structure. This is complemented by a segment challenging the tabula rasa or "blank slate" theory, offering evidence that the human brain is largely pre-wired with core functionality at birth, setting the stage for experience to follow. During the broadcast, listeners call in to share anecdotes related to retirement and the frustrations of aging and physical decline, prompting Lionel to relate the story of his own accidental start in radio. Additional topics raised by callers include the nature of inherited talent and the challenging work of rehabilitating inmates in a federal medical prison setting. Learn more about your ad choices.

I get back into the rhythm after my little sabbatical and dive into a packed rundown across the endurance world. I start with the history and results of the JFK 50, why JFK himself helped create 50 milers, and how the Kennedy Cup still defines the military competition at the race. Then I shift to the NCAA cross country championships and go deeper into what name, image, and likeness changes have done to college sports. I explain why the development pipeline in running is shrinking, why teams are becoming more shallow, and what that means for the future of American distance running.I talk through some of the wild course cutting I saw, break down the top finishers in the men's and women's races, and then move on to a little Montana segment. Montana State won the Brawl of the Wild, Montana won the food drive, and both towns raised over a million pounds of food. It was a good reminder that community efforts still matter.From there I get into the study I have been wanting to talk about. It looks at the long term ceiling for sustainable human endurance output and why 2.5 times your basal metabolic rate seems to be the upper limit over months. I explain what that means for ultras, FKTs, and training, and why more is not always better even if you are fueling well. There is a real plateau to what we can sustain, and I compare that to my own seven week Appalachian Trail push.Janji, CS Coffee, and Garage Grown Gear help power the show!Chapters00:00 Intro04:00 JFK 50 recap10:00 NCAA cross country and NIL fallout18:00 Course cutting and race depth23:00 Montana updates and food drive27:00 The metabolic ceiling study38:00 Sponsors and closingSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

Welcome to Monsters on the Edge, a show exploring creatures at the edge of our reality in forests, cities, skies, and waters. We examine these creatures and talk to the researchers studying them.Randy Hutchings, author of Bear Mountain Bigfoot, has been a dedicated paranormal and Bigfoot field investigator since the late 1990s, exploring the deep hollows and rugged forests of Tennessee's Southern Cumberland Plateau in search of answers to some of the region's oldest mysteries. A lifelong outdoorsman, Hutchings combines his love for hiking, camping, and backcountry exploration with a passion for documenting unexplained phenomena and local folklore. His work bridges the gap between field investigation and storytelling, preserving eyewitness accounts and regional legends that keep the mystery of Bigfoot—and other Appalachian enigmas—alive for future generationsFortean TN YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@ForteanTN/videosFortean TN Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/ForteanTN?ref=hlTennessee Cryptid CampOuthttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/tennessee-cryptid-campout-tickets-1367516451519?aff=oddtdtcreatorBear Mountain Bigfoothttps://www.amazon.in/Bear-Mountain-Bigfoot-Sasquatch-Cumberland-ebook/dp/B0FW8VH7FJTennessee Pygmy: Legend or Reality?https://www.amazon.com/Tennessee-Pygmy-Reality-Randy-Hutchings/dp/B0G2GRGVDZ/ref=sr_1_1Click that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!
