Are you struggling to stick to your goals? Do you find yourself starting strong but losing steam when it comes to building new habits? If so, this episode is for you.

We've all been there - wanting to make positive changes but feeling like discipline is just out of reach. In this follow-up episode on discipline, we dig deeper into the link between habits and staying disciplined, offering practical insights you can apply to your own life.

Revisiting our old friend the "two-minute rule," we chat about making habits easier to stick to. Our conversation then shifts to the importance of understanding your "why" - that core motivation that keeps you going. Turns out, staying connected to this purpose can be a real game-changer when it comes to commitment. Throughout the episode, we share personal strategies for keeping disciplined, like creating visual reminders of your goals and regularly touching base with your motivations. Consistency over intensity becomes our mantra for forming new habits, while aligning actions with identity and values takes center stage.

As our ninth episode comes to a close, we're excited about the journey ahead and can't wait to hit that big ten-episode milestone with you. Join us for this empowering discussion - your future, more disciplined self will thank you!

In this episode, we tackled the concept of abundance and how it can be a game-changer in both personal and professional realms. We unpacked how an abundance mindset differs from the scarcity thinking many of us default to, sharing our own experiences to illustrate its practical applications.

From real estate investments to organizing large-scale events, we explored how abundance thinking can lead to mutually beneficial outcomes. We also addressed the challenges of maintaining this mindset in a competitive landscape, discussing strategies to overcome these hurdles.

Key takeaways include the importance of gratitude in recognizing existing resources and the value of "taking inventory" of one's skills, relationships, and assets. Our aim was to provide actionable insights for listeners to leverage abundance thinking in their own lives and careers. It's not about having more, but about maximizing what you already have.
