In this episode of The Rocky Garza Show, I continue to explore the intersection of a meaningful life and a successful career. With my vast experience as a coach and keynote speaker for Fortune 500 companies, I share my insights on how to gain clarity, build confidence, and live life on your own terms. Whether you're striving for professional success or seeking a more fulfilling personal life, this podcast episode is for you.
I challenge the traditional definition of success, which focuses on achieving one lofty goal after another. I encourage you to reconsider your perspective, highlighting that success can be found in everyday moments and incremental progress. From the midway points on the mountain to the days spent in the valley, each step is a vital part of the journey.
I discuss the “gap mentality,” where the vast distance between where we are and where we want to be overwhelms us. This mentality often leads to burnout and dissatisfaction. I introduce the idea of focusing on daily actions and smaller, more manageable goals that will eventually compound into success over time.
I dive into practical steps to close the gap between where you are now and where you aspire to be. By breaking down massive goals into smaller daily activities—like saving money a little at a time—success becomes achievable. The key is in understanding and controlling the daily habits that fuel long-term progress.
True success is not just about achieving external accolades or financial goals. It’s about knowing what you truly want in life and committing to the daily actions that align with those desires. Write down 20 things you want and then narrow that list to the top five priorities that will guide your life.
I explain the importance of prioritizing what truly matters and committing to the daily habits that reflect those priorities. I encourage you to “schedule your priorities,” putting important life goals like family time or personal growth on the calendar before other obligations.
I introduce the EPS (Eight Points of Success) Matrix, a tool to help assess success across different areas of life. This holistic approach allows you to track your progress and understand how various aspects of your life—personal and professional—intersect and influence each other.

The Confidence Method is a systematic way to unpack and understand the stories we have been told and those we tell ourselves. These narratives often fuel our insecurities and lack of self-confidence.
Reflect on the stories told to you about you, particularly those that start with phrases like, "You are too..." or "You always..." These narratives can deeply influence self-perception and confidence.
We shift the focus to the internal dialogue, the self-imposed stories that align with or mirror the external narratives received. These self-told stories contribute to the feeling of being an imposter.
Where these external and internal stories meet, a significant impact is created. They are a collision, leading to deep-seated beliefs that can undermine confidence.
I outline my method to convert negative self-talk into affirmed truths. By identifying and confronting lies, confirming actual truths, and affirming goodness, individuals can build genuine self-confidence.
