    What is one WIN you've accomplished today? The life you have right now is a reflection of your habits (positive or negative). In this episode we are talking about ways you can intentionally create healthy habits by focusing on the "small" wins first. It's not about some fake ideal of perfection, and so much more about being intentional about your actions and making sure they add up to move you in the right direction towards your goals. Self confidence is earned through healthy habits! Tune in to gain clarity on where in your life you can start changing your habits, and how to disrupt the current habits that are holding you back! Making the decision to focus on stacking a single "win", and then another, and another will completely change the trajectory of your life when you stick to it!

    Show Notes:

    We like BIG "WHY's" and we cannot lie! You'll hear us refer to "but's" multiple times in this episode, and we're not talking about the kind in the catchy Sir Mix-a-lot song! All too often we allow obstacles and excuses to keep us from taking action towards our goals. They keep us from having the experiences we want to have, from creating the freedom we desire for our families, and at the end of the day all we're doing is keeping ourselves from reaching our potential. It's part of being human! The good news is, we can work through this by changing our mindset, and taking action! Tune in to this episode as we share some of our own "big but's" and how focusing on our WHY has helped us create the success we have in our business, relationships, and life.

    01:30 Is your "BUT" bigger than your "WHY"?

    04:50 Strengthening our awareness of when we slip back into making excuses.

    12:30 The time you called me out on my excuses.

    18:50 The power of getting out of your own way.

    What does it mean to be a "Freedom Parent"? In this episode, we're sharing our story of being broke and near divorce, to creating the marriage and life we dreamed about for our family.
