After three years of building my coaching business, the evidence is clear, the business is growing, the demand is real, and the opportunities are there.

But internally, I have still been operating as though I need to keep proving that the business can work.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I talk about the shift I am trying to make from validation and scarcity to trust, calm, and actually enjoying the process. That means learning not to treat every rejection, lost client, or missed opportunity as a verdict on the entire business.

Because if you live and die with every result, you are going to die a lot.

You blocked off two hours to study….and somehow spent 90 minutes switching tabs.
It’s not your fault. Distraction is the default. But it is your responsibility if you want to pass.
That’s why I’m teaching on something most CPA candidates never learn how to do: how to actually focus in a way the creates real progress and real results. We will be looking at the book "Deep Work" by Cal Newport.
We’ll cover:
• Why “putting in the hours” isn’t working and what actually does
• How to train your brain to study without checking your phone
• The routines top performers use to study half as long and retain twice as much
• A system you can use to finally feel momentum again
If your study time is scattered, shallow, or just not clicking you need this.

Most people only set one daily study goal. That's the problem.

In this episode, I explain why every CPA candidate should set both a ceiling goal and a floor goal each day, and how one simple shift can help you stay consistent, build confidence, and finally escape all-or-nothing thinking.

Manifestation and visualization are everywhere right now.
Some people treat them like magic.
Others dismiss them completely.
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
In this episode, we'll talk about what visualization actually is, where it can be helpful, where it becomes a distraction, and how to use it in a way that supports real progress toward your goals.
We'll discuss:
• The difference between visualization and wishful thinking
• Why seeing yourself succeed can be powerful
• The danger of using manifestation as a substitute for action
• How top performers mentally prepare for challenges
• Practical ways CPA candidates can use visualization before study sessions, practice exams, and exam day
The goal isn't to convince yourself that success is guaranteed.
The goal is to build confidence, reduce unnecessary fear, and make it easier to take action consistently.

What a year 2020 has been. Filled with all kinds of unforeseen stress, craziness, and challenges of all kinds, from the pandemic to the election and all of their secondary effects. I know many people would say it's been one of their most difficult years ever. BUT that does not mean we should just give up on the year as a lost cause and resign ourselves to starting to get back on track come January 1st. Time is too precious to write it off like that, plus there is no guarantee 2021 will not be just as tough or even more so. In this episode I talk about why you should not wait until 2021 to start to improve your life and your situation.
