Change Lives Make Money: The Podcast For Online Trainers

Either quit or fully commit: a wake-up call for struggling entrepreneurs 💯 In this raw and unfiltered episode, I'm speaking directly to those of you who feel like giving up on your dreams. If you're noticing all the things that aren't working - the no-show calls, the refund requests, the content that's not hitting - and feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, this message is for you. Because here's the truth: you can't live in the middle. You're either going to quit and go back to your 9-5, or you're going to fully commit to finding solutions instead of focusing on problems. The choice is yours, but staying in that middle ground where you're working hard while speaking limitation over your life is a guaranteed path to failure. Top Quotes: "I'm a firm believer that the words we speak create the reality that we live in... if you're working on your business but putting forth negative energy towards your business, you're just going to create more despair." (2:15) "Full commitment means you stop bitching about the little things... I am so committed to achieving my goals that I will not let a single word escape my mouth that would be a detriment to them." (4:25) "The only way you get to that level where everything you touch turns to gold... is you make the decision that you are fully fucking committed and you will never speak limitation over your life ever again. Period."

Whatever it takes: the raw truth about entrepreneurial sacrifice 😤 In this unfiltered episode recorded after a 12-hour workday, I'm breaking down what "whatever it takes" really means when building a 6-figure business. From my conversation with a VIP client about sacrificing family time to hit $100k months, to filming 50 videos while exhausted, I'm showing you the reality of what's required to level up. Because here's the truth: most people want entrepreneurial success but aren't willing to make the sacrifices necessary to get there. If you think you can clock in and clock out like an employee while building an empire, this wake-up call is for you. Top Quotes: "Too many fucking people come into entrepreneurship with the mindset that they're going to work for a certain amount of hours. And then when those certain amount of hours are done, then they're done." (1:53) "I never count the cost... Because I'll do whatever it takes to have the life of my dreams. " (7:20) "Work ethic by itself is not the whole equation because I know a lot of entrepreneurs that work their ass off and they're broke as fuck because they're not doing the work that's required to level up their skills."

The balance between support and accountability: real talk with my wife about tough love 💑 In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kirsten and I are diving deep into one of the most important aspects of any relationship - knowing when to support your partner and when to call them out. From my straggly beard phase to the conversation that sparked a major change, we're sharing how to have those difficult but necessary conversations that lead to growth. Because here's the truth: most relationships fail because people aren't willing to say what's really on their mind. Whether it's friendships or romantic partnerships, learning to balance unconditional support with honest accountability is the key to helping each other level up. Top Quotes: "As a partner, I think we have a responsibility on two aspects... I'm here for you, you're my support system. And also, when you're letting yourself go and not showing up as your very best, I think it's my responsibility to be like 'hey, what the fuck is going on here?'" (2:43) "Something that Brian and I do that really helps with our communication is this one small question: 'Do you want advice right now or do you want me to just listen?'" (18:21) "Most relationships struggle because most partners aren't willing to say what the fuck is on their mind to the other person... instead of having that hard conversation, they'll just bitch to other friends about that friend."

How to turn cold leads into $1,000 clients in 30 days (without being sleazy) 💰 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down the biggest mistakes I see online trainers making when trying to convert leads - from sliding into strangers' DMs with pitches to not nurturing their audience properly. Because here's the truth: if you're trying to sell to everyone who breathes on your profile, you're doing it wrong. Instead, I'm giving you my proven 5-step framework for turning cold leads into paying clients the right way. From launching a free 14-day challenge to my exact DM scripts that actually work, I'm showing you how to build authentic relationships that lead to sales. Because when you focus on providing value first, the sales naturally follow. Top Quotes: "My definition of a stranger on social media is somebody that you have no previous relationship with. So they've never interacted with your content, you've never interacted with their content, and the first thing that you send them is a pitch... I literally block people that do this to me." (1:15) "When somebody comes to your profile on social media and they engage with your content, that's them telling you that they're lightly interested in what you have to offer... That is the first sign of a potential client." (2:01) "Sometimes it takes two, three, four, five touch points for somebody to actually be serious enough to want to work with you as an online coach... The fortune is in the follow up."

Why funnels are fucking stupid (and what to focus on instead) 🎯 In this no-BS episode, I'm breaking down why most business coaches are dead wrong about needing fancy marketing funnels to grow your online fitness business. Because here's the truth: I built my business to $1M/month without ever touching a funnel, and I've got multiple coaches in my Million Dollar Mastermind doing $100k+ months the same way. From understanding what people actually want when they're scrolling social media to the simple system that will take you to $25k/month without complicated tech, I'm giving you the straightforward path to scaling your business. Because if you're making less than $25k/month and focusing on anything other than organic social media growth, you're making this way harder than it needs to be. Top Quotes: "Human beings that are scrolling social media are scrolling to be entertained... We're not scrolling through social media with the intention of buying some shit. That's usually not what happens." (1:26) "The most effective way to grow your business to $25,000 a month is taking out your phone, recording a video, posting it on social media, getting somebody in the DMs, booking a sales call with them, converting them into a client, and putting them into your community. Period." (6:13) "If you're gonna spend money, I don't think you spend money on building an email campaign, or building a website, or building a funnel. I think you spend money on hiring people to help you with your current system - hiring a virtual assistant, hiring a coach, hiring a community manager."

Live from Mexico: Real talk with my PT Dom clients about mindset, growth, and transitions 🌴 In this special edition of Podchats recorded from Mexico, I'm opening up the floor to my $5k-$25k/month clients for an unfiltered Q&A session. From navigating the uncomfortable "in-between" phase of growth to gracefully transitioning out of a long-term job, we're diving deep into the real challenges successful entrepreneurs face. Plus, I'm dropping a major announcement about Ascension Week and a chance to win a VIP half-day session with me and Cole. If you're ready to learn directly from coaches who are in the trenches making it happen, this episode is your masterclass in what it really takes to level up. Top Quotes: "Here's the truth - you never actually arrive. Everybody is seeking this final destination where everything they do is like 'oh I'm living my dream life right now.' Even for me, don't get me wrong, I'm very fucking grateful, but there are moments throughout my day where I'm not where I want to be." (2:57) "Everybody can have an opinion, but if the king of the castle likes you and vouches for you, that will be the overarching weight of everybody else." (1:06:48) "I'm really connected to my why... but I still catch myself letting the external world get in my head. I know I need to believe it before I see it."

You don't actually want this sh*t: the raw truth about entrepreneurship 😤 In this unfiltered episode recorded after a 14-hour workday, I'm calling out all the "manifestation hippies" who think building a million-dollar business is about good vibes and 4-hour workdays. Because here's the reality: everyone wants the outcome of having a successful business - the money, the freedom, the lifestyle - but almost nobody is willing to put in the actual work required to get there. From sacrificing your weekends to never being able to "call in sick," I'm breaking down the real cost of entrepreneurship that nobody talks about. Because if you're looking for shortcuts or trying to turn this into a "side hobby," you need to hear this wake-up call before you waste your time. Top Quotes: "If you want to grow a business that makes $50,000, $100,000, $500,000, a million dollars a month... everybody says that they want it but nobody actually realizes the amount of work that goes in on the back end of having that business." (1:24) "For those people that are actually willing to put in the work, day after day after day, without ever counting the cost... on the other side of that is financial freedom. On the other side of that is you retiring your mom." (6:29) "Trent Harrison, been in my coaching program for five years, posted every single day for the last five years, went from 7,000 followers to 1.1 million. It's really fucking simple. He followed the formula. Work your ass off, never miss."

I am not my thoughts: a powerful mindset shift for entrepreneurs 🧠 In this raw and personal episode, Kirsten and I are sharing a powerful mindset breakthrough we had while dealing with morning sickness during her pregnancy. From reframing negative self-talk to understanding the difference between experiencing something and identifying with it, we're diving deep into how changing your relationship with your thoughts can transform your entire reality. Whether you're struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, or just feeling stuck in negative thought patterns, this episode will give you practical tools to take back control of your mind. Because here's the truth: you are not your thoughts - you are the one observing them. Top Quotes: "When I overcame my addiction, I had to disassociate myself from my thoughts... I had to realize that just because I'm thinking something doesn't mean that's who I am." (3:19) "You can be 'I am powerful', 'I am worthy', 'I am deserving'... you can literally attach the 'I am' to anything. And so choosing to attach that 'I am' to 'I am anxious', 'I am sad' - you are literally robbing yourself of your own power." (15:24) "Anyone can say anything. Someone who despises themselves can say 'I love myself' over and over. At the end of the day, the feeling has to change, because the feeling is going to be the thing that makes you actually feel good."

Stop being the "tip guy": why most fitness creators fail on social media 🎯 In this masterclass episode, I'm breaking down the three secrets to successful content creation and why most creators fail to stand out online. The hard truth? Being good at fitness isn't enough - this is a marketing game, and the best marketer wins. Period. I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I went from sucking at content for 6 years to building a $500,000/month business, and more importantly, how you can avoid making the same mistakes I did. Because here's the reality: if you're just posting workout tips and macro calculations, you're blending in with every other fitness creator out there. From understanding what social media platforms are actually for (hint: it's not selling) to the 50-50 rule that will transform your content strategy, I'm giving you my complete playbook for standing out in a crowded market. Top Quotes: "Online training is a game where the best marketer wins. Period. It isn't about your level of skill. It isn't about your level of experience. You are the best marketer, and you get the most clients, or you don't." (1:43) "Nobody is going to go spend thousands and thousands of dollars on the tip guy or the tip girl, when they could literally get all that information from Chat GPT. People are going to pay you money because they like the person that you are." (56:10) "Unless you are entertaining people, you are going to blend in with a sea of nobodies. And I see a lot of online fitness coaches that struggle to grow their coaching business because they are not entertaining people."

Why I started posting 6 times a day (and why you probably shouldn't) 📱 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I scaled my Instagram from 0 to 340,000 followers and why I recently made the decision to post 6 times per day. But here's the truth: this strategy isn't for everyone. I'm showing you the step-by-step progression that took me from posting once per day to where I am now, and more importantly, when YOU should (and shouldn't) increase your posting frequency. From building the right team to free up your time to ensuring your content quality doesn't drop with increased volume, I'm giving you my complete playbook for scaling your social media presence the right way. Because here's the reality: posting more only works if you've mastered the fundamentals first. Top Quotes: "I think that's where a lot of online fitness coaches struggle is you never actually make the commitment that you want to get better at content. You're just posting because most of you guys come into this game of entrepreneurship without ever posting on social media." (1:34) "Once you can do this and every piece of content that you post is good - and my definition of good is people are saying it's good, they're engaging with it, they're watching, they're sharing, they're liking, they're commenting - your account is growing at that point. Then I would consider increasing the volume." (5:24) "If you're making 10 to $20,000 a month and you don't have people working for you, you're fucking up because it's impossible for you to post 3 to 5 times a day if you've got all of the other things that you need to do in your business."

If you're ready to learn directly from coaches who are in the game - not just talking about it - this episode is your masterclass in what's working right now. Top Quotes: "I look at my content that I was posting before and I didn't fucking have a strategy... now my content is night and day, and all my friends in my old coaches program are like, 'dude, your content is unreal'" (2:39) "Don't go to bed until you get a call booked. We just don't sleep until the call's booked. That actually creates urgency to get it done faster. Because you want to go to bed." (0:51) "You're giving lots of value. But bro, like, you've got people that want to book already. So fucking book the call."

Top Quotes: "I never, never once came out of my mouth 'it's not gonna happen for us.' Anytime I talk to anybody, I'd say, 'it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen really soon for us.'" (11:57) "You can take all the supplements you want in the world, but if you aren't supplementing your mind with positive talk... you're just gonna continue to keep yourself stuck." (12:04) "Both of us were doing everything in our power to make it happen... neither one of us was acting discouraged or upset every month. We were both just like, 'It'll happen when it's supposed to happen.'"

Stop letting "I need to think about it" steal your sales: the ultimate objection-crushing framework 💰 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to handle the most common objection you'll face on sales calls - "I need to think about it." But here's the truth: this isn't actually an objection at all. It's a smokescreen hiding their real concerns, and I'm showing you my proven framework for uncovering and crushing the real objection underneath. Plus, I'm dropping a major announcement about my upcoming book "The 10 Million Dollar Instagram Final Blueprint" - 70,000 words of pure value coming your way in the next three months. This episode is just a tiny preview of what's inside. Top Quotes: "First things first understand that when the prospect says I need to think about it, that's not an actual objection. It's a smokescreen covering up whatever their real objection is." (1:38) "I'm closing about 50 to 60 percent of the calls that I get on. And when my sales guys get on calls they're closing about 35 to 40 percent." (1:12) "If you make the decision to join today and we work together for the next 12 weeks, and you do everything I tell you to do and you don't lose the 20 pounds that we talked about in this coaching call, I will send you a full refund of every dollar that you paid."

The two types of content that actually make you money on social media 💰 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down the only two types of content that matter for growing your business: awareness content and conversion content. While most creators focus on just one or the other, I'm showing you exactly how to use both to build a profitable social media presence that actually generates revenue. From crafting viral awareness posts that get millions of views to creating high-converting content that turns followers into customers, I'm giving you my complete content strategy playbook. Because here's the truth: you need both types to succeed, and I'll show you the perfect ratio to implement in your business. Top Quotes: "If you only post awareness-based content, you'll grow, but you won't sign customers. And this is why I get a lot of influencers that will come to me, and they're broke, and they're not making any money." (8:46) "The intention behind awareness-based content is simply one word and it is exposure. When Clueless Summit came out with his talking head reels, these are awareness-based pieces of content." (0:57) "I would say you need a 50-50 combination of awareness-based content and conversion-based content if you want to grow in social media and grow a business that makes money."

From securing deposits to booking follow-up calls that actually convert, I'm giving you my complete framework for turning objections into opportunities. Plus, I'm dropping a major announcement about my upcoming book that will have all of these scripts (and more) written out in detail. Top Quotes: "If your prospect asks about price during the call, that is a red flag that they don't have the finances / they are considering price more than anything." (00:24) "I've been on hundreds of these calls, brother, and I know for a fact that if you hang up the phone without taking any action, the likelihood that you fully commit to your goals and lose that 20 pounds comes down to one in 10." (08:42) "If they hang up the phone without giving you a deposit, the likelihood of that prospect closing goes down to a one in 10. You have to get some sort of financial commitment."

(2:35) "This is where a lot of people go wrong with targeting - they try to get too specific. Instagram and Facebook want you to spend money on ads because if you spend money, they make more money if you make more money."

Lock the f*** in: why you're not seeing results (and what to do about it) 🔥 In this fired-up episode, I'm sharing the raw truth about what it really takes to succeed in this game. Fresh off writing a 70,000-word book in just 5 days and securing a publisher within a week, I'm breaking down why "locking in" has been the secret behind every major move in my business - from launching Change Lives Academy to scaling to 1,800 active clients. Because here's the truth: it's not about capability or qualifications. It's about being willing to cut out all the distractions, invest in yourself, and do whatever the fuck it takes to reach that next level.

Top Quotes: "There's so many things that you guys want to do, that you're on the fence about that you've thought about for maybe months, years on end. And the only reason you're not doing it is because you haven't locked in." (1:46) "Locking in doesn't just mean you hire the mentor. Locking in means you hire the mentor and you do the fucking work." (6:37) "There's no fucking secret to success. There's no blueprint. There's no magic trick. There's no fairy dust. I post six times a day every day, seven days a week on social media. That's called locked in."

3 Instagram profile mistakes killing your client sign-ups (and how to fix them) 🔥 In this tactical episode, I'm exposing the three biggest profile mistakes that are costing you clients and revenue. From blurry profile photos to vague taglines, these seemingly small errors are destroying your credibility before prospects even see your content. But don't worry - I'm also sharing my six-step blueprint for building instant authority on Instagram. Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your social presence, I'm breaking down exactly how to optimize every element of your profile - from your username to your bio CTA. Because here's the truth: you only get one chance at a first impression, and your Instagram profile needs to scream "expert," not "amateur." Top Quotes: "If you look like a creep on social media, no wonder nobody's reaching back out to you. It should be clear. It should be you smiling. You should look good." (00:05) "Think of your username as your brand's billboard. It needs to be easy to remember, search friendly and niche focused." (01:51) "If you're inconsistent with your social media efforts, your clients aren't going to want to hire you because they don't even trust you to show up for them on social media for free."

Not all leads are created equal: mastering the art of lead temperature 🔥 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to assess and handle different types of leads in your online fitness business. Because here's the truth: treating every prospect the same way is killing your conversion rates. By understanding the crucial factors of response time and message length, you'll know exactly how to nurture cold leads, convert warm leads, and close hot leads. I'm sharing my proven framework for categorizing leads and the exact questions you need to ask to move prospects through your funnel. From relationship-building with cold leads to booking immediate calls with hot prospects, you'll learn how to maximize every opportunity that comes your way. Top Quotes: "With hot leads that are responding fast and giving you longer responses, do not waste time. Book a call immediately. The worst thing you can do with a hot lead is treat them like a cold lead and take a long time to get back to them." (4:44) "You have to understand that this person is very interested in working with you, otherwise they wouldn't be sending you paragraphs." (5:12) "You need to show people as you're generating leads that you care more about them than you do about their money."

How to start and scale your fitness business to $10K/month: the complete blueprint 🚀 In this comprehensive training, I'm breaking down my proven system for building a successful online fitness coaching business - the exact same framework that's helped over 6,000 coaches quit their 9-5 jobs and build thriving online businesses.

Drawing from my journey of scaling to $50K months and helping thousands of coaches do the same, I'm exposing the critical elements most "how to" videos miss. Because let's be real - following random YouTube advice isn't going to cut it. You need a tested, proven system that actually works in 2024. Top Quotes: "Anyone who books a phone call with you is interested in purchasing, otherwise they wouldn't book the call... They could've just ghosted you, they could've just canceled, they could've just blocked you on social media." (23:01) "We don't view these as sales calls. We view these as fitness assessments. Which means that on the call, you need to spend significantly less time talking about how awesome your product is, and spend way more time talking about your prospects' pain points." (23:43) "We don't intend to sell, we intend to serve. It's your responsibility to make them an offer because you know that you can help them transform."

Fresh from writing the sales chapter of my upcoming book "The $10 Million Instagram Funnel," I'm sharing exactly how to position yourself as an authority and guide prospects to a confident "yes." From the crucial pre-frame in the first 2 minutes to handling objections like a pro, I'm revealing the step-by-step process that turns discovery calls into paying clients. Because here's the truth: people don't pay for your time - they pay for your expertise in solving their problems. Top Quotes: "People do not pay you for the amount of time that you spend on the program. People pay you for the result that you're able to give them." (1:06) "People don't buy from friends, they buy from coaches they have rapport with. And so, your job in the first 30 seconds to two minutes of the call is to cement yourself as an authority." (3:08) "Most people don't make the decision to get in shape. Most people don't make the decision to lose the weight. But you don't sound like most people. It sounds to me like you want to be a leader."

Your goals are too small and it's holding you back from greatness 🚀 In this fired-up episode, I'm calling out every single one of you who's playing small with your goals. After a gym session with one of my long-time clients who was "hoping" to hit 10K followers by the end of the month, I had to check him - why not hit it by next week? Because the truth is, your biggest failure in life isn't setting a massive goal and missing... it's setting a small goal and hitting it. I'm breaking down exactly why most people never achieve extraordinary things (hint: they never aim for them), and sharing how I went from thinking $10 million was impossible to hitting $1 million months back-to-back-to-back. Because if a former drug addict from a trailer park can do it, what's your excuse? Top Quotes: "The biggest mistake that men or women make is not setting a goal that's too big and failing. The biggest mistake that men or women make is setting a goal that's too small and then hitting it." (10:24) "I made the decision on what kind of life I want to live, and I refuse to let anything in my anybody, any force on the planet get in the way of me and my goals." (11:33) "Set a fucking big goal that you think is impossible, and go after it with everything that you have. And in two years' time from now, you're going to shock yourself with what you can accomplish."

The future of online fitness coaching is brighter than ever - here's why 🚀 In this data-driven episode, I'm breaking down exactly why online fitness coaching isn't just a trend - it's a massive opportunity that's only getting bigger.

The complete guide to PT Domination's coaching programs 🎯 In this episode, I'm breaking down all four levels of our business coaching programs - from the Change Lives Academy that's helped create 375 coaches making $10k+ per month, to our exclusive VIP one-on-one mentorship. Whether you're just starting out or already crushing $50k months, I'm revealing exactly which program is the perfect fit for where you're at in your journey. Recording from the Calgary airport (because the work doesn't stop just because it's the holidays), I'm sharing why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to coaching. Because the truth is, what you need at $5k per month is completely different from what you need at $50k per month. And after working with over 10,000 coaches, we've dialed in exactly what it takes to succeed at each level. Top Quotes: "No matter what, no matter when, you have to get done what needs to get done. And so I did on New Year's Day, we didn't do a podcast... So we are here doing our podcast." (0:42) "You shouldn't be seeking out one-on-one. You should be seeking out the best system. And when I first started my business, I was just looking for the person that had the best system." (15:03) "10,000 coaches have trusted us with their business. And for me, that's just enough of a statement that some of the shit that we're doing is fucking working."

How to actually achieve your 2025 vision (not just dream about it) 🎯 In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact framework I used to go from a recovering addict to building a $10 million business. Because here's the truth: most people create a vision board, hang it on their wall, and never look at it again. But if you want 2025 to be different, you need more than just pretty pictures and good intentions. I'm sharing the three critical elements that transformed my vision from a dream into reality - including the "psychopath" morning routine that keeps me laser-focused on my goals every single day. Whether you're trying to hit your first $10k month or scale to multiple 7-figures, these principles will help you turn your vision board into your reality. Top Quotes: "The work that you do in the dark is the shit that puts you into the light." (17:02) "You can't be one of those fucking hippies that sits on your couch and just prays and meditates that all these things are going to come your way. Doesn't happen." (17:06) "So many people ask me on my content all the time, 'how'd you get good at selling?' I practice more than you. That's it. And anyone can do that, dude."

The only thing standing between you and success? Your own mind 🧠 In this powerful episode, I'm breaking down why self-doubt is the biggest enemy you'll ever face on your journey to success. Drawing from my own experience of going from a minimum wage restaurant worker to building a $10 million/year business, I'm sharing the mindset shift that changed everything for me. Because here's the truth: convincing yourself that success is inevitable when you have zero evidence to back it up is the craziest - and most important - thing you'll ever do. It's not about having a perfect track record or hitting every goal on your first try. It's about making the unshakeable decision that it's not a matter of if, but when. Top Quotes: "When it comes to your success, the biggest enemy that you will ever deal with in your entire life is yourself... Your own self-doubt, your own procrastination, your own worry that you're going to fail." (0:56) "I set the goal of hitting 10 million three years ago, and I failed. Two years ago, failed. Last year, failed. This year, hit. And that, to me, was just evidence: It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when." (3:10) "Unless you make that decision... I will do whatever it takes, I will stay in the arena for as long as it takes, I will do everything in my fucking power to achieve my goals... your success becomes inevitable."

$10 Million: From Vision Board to Reality 🚀 In this raw and emotional episode, I'm finally sharing the journey of hitting our biggest milestone yet - $10 million in revenue for 2024. This wasn't just another business goal - it was a vision I've been relentlessly pursuing for three years, even when people inside my own company said it was "too ambitious" and "unrealistic." But here's the truth: the hardest part wasn't the actual work. The hardest part was convincing myself it was possible.

Ready to set some "crazy" goals of your own? Listen to this episode and let's fucking go! 🔥 Top Quotes: "The craziest part about hitting 10 million... we just did back to back million dollar months, which has never happened before. And I'm gonna say something that is gonna seem weird, but it was easy... The hardest thing I ever did was convincing myself that it was going to happen." (2:22) "I believe that my entire purpose on this planet is to be a testament to what's possible... so that you can watch this happen and activate that success inside of you because you're seeing somebody else just like you fucking climb the ladder." (8:30) "Funny thing about success is everybody will talk shit. Everybody will doubt you. Everybody will criticize you. And then when you make it, everybody's gonna say that they know you."

(3:06) "Don't fucking give up, I get it, it's hard, so what, do it hard, let it be challenging, let it be difficult, that's the fucking point, because when you come on the other side of that difficulty, it is all worth it." (19:52) "Change the way that you look at things, the things that you look at change. So have some hope and have some optimism that better times are coming."

Are you working hard or working smart? The lumberjack story that changed my perspective 🪓 In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful story that made me completely rethink how I approach business and life. While most of us are grinding away like the first lumberjack - working non-stop without breaks - the real secret to massive success might actually be knowing when to step back and sharpen your axe. Because here's the truth: being "busy" doesn't always mean being productive. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business is zoom out, reconnect with your vision, and make sure you're still heading in the right direction. Especially as we wrap up 2024, now is the perfect time to reflect and get crystal clear on where you're going. Top Quotes: "Your entire fucking life is one that you could be creating... But a lot of you guys have just created your life based on automatic, monotonous programming that was passed down to you from your parents and their parents and their parents." (4:32) "The best source of motivation does not come externally... the only way to get that inspiration from inside of you is to be connected to your vision on such a deep level that you can literally see it, touch it, taste it, hear it, smell it." (5:44) "Sometimes before you continue driving... you need to zoom out to get a look at the map and then ask yourself if you're even on the right path to get you closer to where you want to be."
