In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway take a deep dive into a question many ambitious people wrestle with: can spirituality and business actually coexist harmoniously? The answer is a resounding YES! Dave shares his personal journey of reconciling spirituality with making money, recounting how his mentor Bob Proctor helped him understand that "money is spirit." Money is simply a form of energy and ideas. This breakthrough allowed Dave to integrate spiritual principles into his coaching business, moving beyond mechanical sales training to teach the deeper mindset work that creates real transformation.

Dave and Jacq take us on an exciting and fascinating conversation that delves into the concept that we live in a "thought universe" where everything physical began as an intangible idea or thought. Dave also explains how the imagination is a receiving set for infinite intelligence, and by entering into the spirit of our goals through enthusiasm and visualization, we can manifest them into reality.

You'll discover that spiritual principles aren't separate from business success… they're essential to it! Dave explains that we are spiritual beings operating through physical bodies, and by maintaining enthusiasm and connection to higher intelligence, we can achieve far more than our current level of thinking alone would allow. So if you've ever felt inner conflict about whether spirituality and earning more money go together, this episode will help you reconcile money, spirit, and success! Tune in now!

Feeling stuck in a rut or plateau? In this episode of the 30 Day Year podcast, Dave and Jacqueline Conway explore the causes of ruts and plateaus in business and life, identifying selfishness and fear as the root causes.

You'll discover that burnout comes from forcing yourself to do things you don't want to do and operating purely from self-will. You'll also discover that your subconscious mind, which never fatigues, holds the key to sustainable energy and creativity!

Dave and Jacq explain that ruts often occur when entrepreneurs lose sight of their goals, or they fall into "getting" energy, rather than "giving" energy. You'll never find your way out of a rut by grinding harder. Escaping a rut requires letting go of force and self-will, embracing creativity, reconnecting with inspiring thoughts and activities, and rebuilding momentum.

In Episode 50 of the 30-Day Year Podcast, Dave and Jacq Conway re-frame focus as a mental activity: the ability to choose the thoughts you think and consistently orient your mind towards a specific goal, especially in a world designed to distract you.

Throughout the episode, Dave and Jacq share practical tools and exercises to help you strengthen your focus and concentration muscles, and keep the subconscious mind fed with the right ideas that will lead you to accomplishing your goal.

Focus is a mental attitude. You are already focusing all day, every day. The question is not whether you can focus, but what you're feeding your mind and which ideas you are allowing to dominate your inner world.

In this episode, you'll also hear Dave share an inspiring story about Megan, a client who went from earning under $10,000 a year to $100,000 per month in only 14 months, not because she had a perfect plan, but because she was able to keep focused on her goal and train her mental attitude to stay in the spirit of her goal.

If you want to multiply your income, expand your business, and stop scattering your energy across a thousand distractions, this episode is a must-listen for you! Tune in now!

In Episode 49 of The 30-Day Year Podcast, Dave and Jacq Conway unpack identity loops - the unconscious patterns that pull you back to your "baseline" results, even after a breakthrough.

You can have a great month. A big launch. A sudden income spike. And then… almost mysteriously, you're right back where you started.

This episode reveals why.

Dave explains how your identity - your beliefs, values, and self-image - operates as the hidden decision-making system beneath your goals. If your results grow but your identity doesn't, your old operating system will eventually pull you back.

Lasting success requires more than motivation. It requires a new self-image - built intentionally.

In this conversation, Dave and Jacq show you how to: • Identify the identity loop you're stuck in • Understand why progress often becomes temporary • Think and act as your future self • Break old patterns through bold decisions • Build a self-image that supports permanent growth

If you're ready to graduate into a new level of results - this episode will challenge how you see yourself.

In Episode 48 of the 30-Day Year Podcast, Dave and Jacq Conway explore what amazing things can happen when you repeat the same essential actions long enough for them to become automatic and turn into a habit. They break down a simple progression: Consistency builds and expands your capacity. Increased capacity produces more cash flow.

Through practical examples, personal stories, and counterintuitive insights, Dave and Jacq show why success rarely comes from dramatic overhauls and almost always comes from mastering one thing at a time. You'll hear how a single consistent sales habit helped Dave scale to six figures per month, all while challenging the idea that discipline has to feel hard or exhausting.

The episode also tackles busyness, overcommitment, and why quitting and restarting is deadly, and can silently undermine your success.

Dave often says that all the knowledge in the world won't do you a lick of good until it becomes a habit. Discover why consistency beats intensity, how capacity is built over time, and why focusing on just one habit at a time can radically multiply your income!

If you've ever felt busy but stuck, motivated but inconsistent, or like you're doing the work without seeing the payoff yet, this episode connects the dots in a way that's both grounding and energizing. Tune in to this exciting episode now!

In this episode of The 30-Day Year Podcast, Dave and Jacq Conway pull back the curtain on perfectionism: Where it comes from, how it shows up in high achievers, and what happens when high standards quietly turn into self-sacrifice, nervous system overload, and stalled dreams.

Jacq shares stories from her childhood, her dance career, and her years running big marketing projects, while Dave unpacks the difference between healthy and unhealthy perfectionism, shares the famous pottery class experiment on quantity versus "one perfect pot," and challenges listeners to stop using perfectionism as a socially acceptable excuse for inaction.

As a funny side note: Jacq actually really did struggle with recording this episode. As she admits on air, this episode on "perfectionism" literally sat in her project management board labeled "Not Done," for a long time, because her "perfectionist brain" decided this one had to be flawless! The irony is not lost on her or Dave. 😂

If you are the kind of person who always wants it "just a little better" and you secretly beat yourself up when things are not perfect, this conversation will help you turn perfectionism into a strength instead of a cage. You'll even discover how Jacq ultimately turned toxic perfectionism into one of her greatest superpowers… and how YOU can too! Tune in to episode 45 now!
