We often look outside ourselves for answers, thinking the next business move or “secret” strategy will change everything. But as Keith Kalfas says, “A problem can't be solved at the same level of thinking you were at when you created the problem.”

In this powerful episode, Keith shares how true growth begins on the inside—by shifting your mindset, building your inner foundation, and daring to ask bigger questions of yourself. The breakthroughs you’re after aren’t somewhere “out there”—they start with who you choose to become.

Keith reminds us that upgrading our standards, being true to our calling, and seeking wisdom are what really transform our business and our lives.

"If you see your life and your business as a curse and you're asking why is that not happening for me?... would you think that a multiple six or seven figure business and all the things that you say you want are just going to show up in your life and fall in your lap without you first becoming the person that is required to be a good steward of those things?" - Keith Kalfas
