If you’ve ever followed a proven strategy or joined a program with a trusted framework—but still found yourself struggling to follow through—this episode is for you.

I’m sharing what I see so often in both personal and business growth: success isn’t just about having the right plan. It’s about strengthening your inner game—your habits, your beliefs, and the energy you bring to your work and life each day.

We’ll explore what really trips us up (even when we’re motivated), how to set yourself up for consistency, and the small but powerful shifts that help you build real momentum.

Plus, I’ll walk you through a few reflection questions and share a free tool I created—the D-Words Action Planner—to help you clear the clutter, organize your priorities, and take aligned action.

This is one of those episodes that feels like a breath of fresh air and a nudge in the right direction.

If your to-do list lives entirely in your head—and your head hurts from trying to remember everything—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I walk you through a simple but powerful productivity strategy I teach my high-performance coaching clients: a six-part framework using words that start with the letter D. You’ve probably heard of “Do, Ditch, or Delegate,” but I take it a step further—adding key steps like Dump, Discern, and Develop—so you can move from mental chaos to clear, aligned action.

You’ll learn how to:

 ✔️ Clear your mental clutter with a brain dump

 ✔️ Sort your tasks with purpose using six strategic D-words

 ✔️ Create a plan that aligns with your values, energy, and priorities

 ✔️ Move from reactive to proactive in how you manage time and focus

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most with clarity and commitment.

Have you ever achieved something—only to realize it didn’t bring the fulfillment you expected? That’s what happens when we chase success without defining it for ourselves. In this episode of Commit to High Performance Growth, we’re diving deep into one of the most powerful questions I explore with my high-performance coaching clients: What does success truly mean to you?

So many people unknowingly adopt society’s definition of success—chasing six- or seven-figure businesses, social status, or external validation—only to find themselves overwhelmed, burned out, and unfulfilled. But true success isn’t about checking off someone else’s boxes; it’s about crafting a vision that aligns with your values, priorities, and deepest sense of purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 ✅ Why defining success for yourself is crucial to long-term fulfillment.

 ✅ How societal norms, social media, and well-meaning mentors can shape a false definition of success.

 ✅ A simple yet powerful exercise to clarify your vision of success.

 ✅ How to align your daily habits and long-term goals with what truly matters to you.

Success looks different for everyone—whether you’re an entrepreneur, a stay-at-home mom, or a corporate professional. When you take the time to define success on your terms, you gain the clarity and confidence to create a life and business that feel truly fulfilling.

Take Action: I challenge you to take a few moments today to reflect on what success means to you. Write it down, say it out loud, and begin shaping your goals and habits around that vision.

Listen now and start redefining success on your terms!
