Ever feel like you know exactly what to do, you have the resources, but you're still stuck in the mud? Ryan Hanley dives into this frustrating experience, revealing that it's not about a lack of intelligence or motivation—it's about being trapped in hidden identity loops. Ryan explains that the key to unlocking yourself isn't more knowledge, but a shift in identity. Action that aligns with the person you want to become creates the evidence needed to build belief and break free from those limiting loops. Drawing from his personal journey with ADHD, Ryan shares how adopting the identity of an organized person transformed his challenges.   In this episode, you'll learn: Why feeling stuck isn't a sign of failure. The powerful impact of unrecognized identity loops. The counterintuitive secret to breaking free: action before belief. How to model your actions after the person you aspire to be. Practical steps to start embodying your desired identity today.   Here's what psychological principles support this: Identity theory suggests that our self-concept strongly influences our behavior. Behavioral activation theory highlights the power of action in shifting mood and beliefs. Social learning theory emphasizes the role of modeling in acquiring new behaviors and identities. Stop overthinking and start acting your way to a new identity. Ryan provides the roadmap to finally break free and become the person you're meant to be.   Takeaways: • Your actions shape your identity and reality. • Assume your desired future identity to become it. • Cultivate focus on your craft and aspirations Sound Bites: •"Every action you take is a vote for the kind of person you believe you are. And every inaction, that's a vote too." • "The first step out of this loop isn't a tool, it's a question." • "My brain is built for bursts and big ideas, not systems and structure."

Ryan Hanley is a speaker, entrepreneur, and host of a podcast dedicated to helping ambitious individuals defy ordinary and achieve extraordinary success. Ryan discusses how his business was struggling due to high costs and inefficient practices. He introduces three first principle strategies that transformed his business without the need to cut staff. The first strategy is zero-based budgeting, inspired by Elon Musk, which involves justifying every expense from scratch. The second principle is the no meeting rule, which drastically reduces unnecessary meetings, improving productivity by giving the team more time to focus on actual work. Finally, Hanley emphasizes sales efficiency by focusing on improving the closing rate of current leads rather than acquiring new ones, which significantly increases profits and team morale. Takeaways: • Adopt zero-based Budgeting • Implement the no-meeting rule: • Prioritize sales efficiency Sound Bites: • "We canceled every single meeting and only added back the ones that were absolutely necessary." • "Shorter meetings lead to more productivity and efficiency because you're forced to get to the point." • "Not only were we making more money, but our customer feedback scores went through the roof."

The more income you have, the better opportunity you have to build wealth. But you and I both know, and you listening to this podcast, you know as well as I do, that there's people who make a lot of money who don't build a lot of wealth.” - Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA “Your books in your business tell a story, paint a financial picture of your business. If you kept good books over a period of years, you can see what are the trends in your business.“ - Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA “We don't rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems and you can substitute processes in there for systems. Right? We all have good intentions in business, but if we haven't built out a systematic way to actually accomplish that, most humans do not have the willpower just to accomplish a goal.” - Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Resources Mentioned: Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors
