In this episode, I share a powerful message about the importance of attitude and mindset in achieving success. Recording from my car on a Monday morning, I explain why I embrace the "Thank God It's Monday" mentality instead of dreading the work week. I dive into how positivity is a choice that requires tremendous effort - just like building wealth, maintaining fitness, or nurturing relationships - and why this deliberate choice attracts opportunities and people into your life. Drawing from personal experience, I emphasize that my achievements come not from exceptional skill or luck, but from maintaining optimism and consistency even when facing challenges. I recommend resources like ET (Eric Thomas) and Tony Robbins for developing better mindset tools, and explain how your focus creates a "reticular activating system" effect that reveals opportunities aligned with your goals. This episode serves as a reminder that your attitude might be the biggest roadblock between you and your dreams.

In this episode, I explore the profound similarities between endurance running and building a successful business. Drawing from my own journey as both a business owner and runner over the past three years, I break down three key parallels: how building an aerobic base through boring, consistent Zone 2 training mirrors the slow, unglamorous daily work required in business; how proper nutrition for athletic performance parallels feeding your mind with quality information while weeding out negativity; and how advanced race fueling strategies compare to leveraging mentors and conferences to accelerate business growth. I explain why there's no overnight success in either discipline—only the compound effect of small, consistent efforts over time that eventually create the "hockey stick" growth curve everyone wants. This perspective has transformed how I approach both running and business, reminding me that excellence in any area requires the same core principles of consistency, patience, and strategic improvement.

In this episode, I share a critical realization I had while running around putting out fires during our busy spring season. I explain how easy it is to get caught up in the chaos of daily emergencies and lose sight of what truly matters in your business. Drawing from my own experience of being too busy to sell work and ending up with no jobs in August, I break down why business owners must identify their highest priorities and maintain consistency even when overwhelmed. I discuss the importance of creating action lists, planning your day before it starts, and accepting that progress is often slow and invisible. Whether you're in the middle of spring rush or just feeling buried by daily operations, these practical mindset shifts will help you stay focused on growth while managing the inevitable fires of business ownership.
