We know starting a business is hard, but the less-talked-about middle stages of business building are actually the most treacherous. While 20% of businesses fail in their first year, 70% won't make it out of a decade.

In this episode, Steph tells you everything you need to know about setting yourself up for success in this stage. Whether you are weathering the messy middle of entrepreneurship today, or if you're not quite there yet, tune in to hear the common mistakes -- and what you need to do to thrive through this time!

The Messy Middle Mastermind is OPEN for enrollment. We kick off on April 17! Apply now while spots remain. http://stephcrowder.com/mastermind

You've heard about indulging in dessert or a spa day, but what about indulging in negative emotions like confusion? You might be shocked to hear that thoughts such as "I need to get more clear before I get started!" are actually a form of procrastination and self-sabotage. In this episode I'm sharing a recent revelation I had about how we can stop indulging in confusion and simply commit to doing it confused.

Wouldn't it be great if you could feel motivated about your goals ALL the time?

Yeah, same.

Here's the truth: we have inconsistent access to motivation. Same goes for "willpower". 

If you're trying to white-knuckle your way to your goals, I promise there is a better way -- and it's got nothing to do with whether you "feel like it" today. 

Tune in to hear what to do instead of "trying to get motivated". Spoiler: it is not sexy. But it is the highest form of self-love I personally have ever experienced.

My most popular training EVER, Year on the Wall, is coming up soon! Grab your spot at yearonthewall.com.

I've trained thousands of people to plan out their year ahead of time. There are 5 huge themes I see that really trip people up and keep them from living their biggest dreams. We're diving into them today!

1. Skipping vision
2. Not having a firm grasp of your "happy number" (the treadmill of Infinity money)
3. Not making room for dreams 
4. No weekly habits / not knowing which weekly habits will move the needle / not having a process for measuring how it's going 
5. Thinking it has to be perfect or that you "fail" if the plan needs to change
