001 - How Do I Grow When I Don't Have Drive Chasing Me?


Listen Later

A few years ago, I dreamed of the day I’d earn $180,000 a year through Selling the Couch.

That number felt like the finish line — the place where life would feel lighter, calmer, more free.

And now that I’ve reached it… something surprising has happened.

The urgency that pushed me here? It’s gone.

And without it, I’ve been wondering:

Can I still grow if I’m no longer hustling?

In this video, I share what I’ve been learning about post-goal life, how pressure used to fuel my business, and how I’m slowly learning to trade that urgency for something quieter and more aligned.

If you’ve ever hit a milestone and thought, “Now what?” — this is for you.

We’re talking:

  • What happens when you’re no longer building from lack
  • How to embrace slower seasons without guilt
  • The surprising ways growth shows up when you stop chasing
