We all know the feeling—stuck, procrastinating, avoiding what matters most. But what if you could spot resistance the moment it shows up… and break through it fast? In this episode, we expose resistance for what it really is, why it’s your biggest enemy, and how to beat it before it beats you. Whether you’re building a business, chasing a goal, or simply tired of spinning your wheels, this is your guide to outsmarting the invisible force that’s holding you back.

You’ve heard it a thousand times: build better habits, build a better life. But what if habits aren’t the real problem? In this episode, we flip the script and reveal why your standards—not your habits—determine your success. You’ll learn the subtle (but powerful) difference between doing things consistently and holding yourself to a higher level of expectation. If you’ve been stuck doing “all the right things” but not getting results, this might be the missing piece.

Tune in and find out how to raise your standards—and watch your life follow.

🎙 Episode: “Reset & Rise: The Power of Benchmark Goals!”

Feeling stuck or off track? This episode is your signal to hit reset.

Dale breaks down how to step back, realign, and set benchmark goals that actually move the needle—in your business, fitness, and life. Learn how to spot when it’s time to pause, how to refocus with clarity, and how to rebuild momentum with short-term, measurable goals that keep you locked in.

Whether you’ve plateaued or just need a system that sticks, this episode gives you the mindset, method, and motivation to get back in the game stronger than ever.

What You’ll Learn:

• Signs it’s time for a reset

• The difference between outcome vs benchmark goals

• How to rebuild clarity and confidence in 3 steps

• A challenge to help you kickstart your next breakthrough

The daily grind often has us all wrapped up in busy work, social media, and life distractions, but we don't often focus on the things that matters most. If you're starting to not feel fully aligned with your life mission and purpose then try reorienting your energy and thoughts towards things that matter most in your life.

In this Fire Solo Round episode, Dale gives some motivation and encouragement to look at what is most important to you and put energy back into that. You won't want to miss this episode!
