You didn’t fail.
You made progress.
In this episode, I share why falling short of your biggest goals might be the most powerful growth strategy you’ll ever experience.
After setting a bold 90-day impossible goal inspired by Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s framework, I missed it. And it crushed me. But what I discovered next completely changed how I measure success, set goals, and define progress.
Drawing from The Gap and the Gain and real-life examples from business and endurance racing, I break down why measuring forward keeps you stuck in frustration, and how measuring backward unlocks confidence, clarity, and momentum.
You will learn:
If you have ever felt discouraged after missing a target, this conversation will shift your perspective. Because the goal is not the destination. The goal is who you become on the way there.
Set bigger goals. Measure backward. Celebrate progress.
And watch your life change.
If you are building an online course, e-learning program, or mission-driven organization, I also share ways we can work together to accelerate your impact.

There is a massive gap between what you think your learners need and what they actually know they need and are willing to invest in. In this episode, I break down the three biggest mistakes we make when serving learners and customers, and why those mistakes quietly kill trust, engagement, and long-term results.
You will learn why speaking in jargon pushes people away, how talking less can dramatically improve your relationships, and why focusing on selling instead of solving problems destroys credibility. More importantly, I walk you through a simple three-step process to become a true expert in your learners’ real problems so you can serve them powerfully, build long-term trust, and grow your business with impact.
I also share a real sales call story that shows how listening, asking better questions, and doing focused research can completely change the outcome of a conversation without pitching or pushing. If you create training, courses, or e-learning programs, this episode will help you stop wasting time building the wrong solutions and start creating programs people actually want.

What if the answers you’re looking for already exist within you?
In this episode, I share a powerful framework for solving your hardest business and life challenges by connecting with your future self. This is the same strategy I use with my VIP coaching clients at e-Learning Partners to create clarity, momentum, and exponential growth through what Dr. Benjamin Hardy calls an impossible goal.
An impossible goal is not about incremental progress. It is about creating a future that is 10x bigger than your current reality, paired with an aggressive timeline of three years or less. When you anchor your identity to that future version of yourself, your decisions in the present start to change automatically.
You’ll learn how to bridge the gap between who you are today and who you are becoming using three practical tools. First, you’ll write letters from your future self to your present self across three time frames: three years, one year, and 90 days. Second, you’ll learn how to ask your future self questions to unlock clarity, direction, and high-leverage actions right now. Third, you’ll integrate a daily gratitude practice that aligns your past, present, and future into one focused identity.
I also share real-world examples from my own life, including how visualization and future-self thinking helped me win an ultramarathon, and how one of my VIP clients is taking concrete steps toward halving the global suicide rate.
If you want clearer answers, better decisions, and faster progress toward your biggest goals, this episode will give you a simple but powerful place to start.
If you’re ready for deeper support, you can apply for my VIP coaching experience.

A lot of course creators are racing to the bottom by lowering their prices. I’m doing the opposite.
In this episode, I break down why I’m intentionally raising my course prices four to ten times, and why it has nothing to do with greed and everything to do with results, commitment, and real learner transformation.
I walk you through the five core reasons I will not sell courses under four figures, including why price directly shapes perceived value, why higher prices often lead to better learner outcomes, and why pricing based on ROI instead of competitors is the fastest path to building a healthy, sustainable e-learning business.
I also share personal examples from my own health journey, ultra endurance training, and five years of selling eLearning Simplified Academy to show how commitment, investment, and implementation are deeply connected.
If you want to stop blending in with low-priced courses, create better results for your learners, and build a business that moves you and your audience from scarcity to abundance, this episode is for you.
