Taking on any large goal in your life, you'll face hardship.

This episode dives into a realization I've come to after a drive back from my agency's Edmonton Convention with one of our teammates.

We were discussing, freely,

"Why are we here pushing through all of the challenges?"
"What is it that I'm actually grinding away so many hours, for?"
"What is my purpose?"

Then,

It clicked.

I reconnected with my purpose.


I've always wanted to feel like I'm making an impact on other people. Not from a selfish point of view, but to actually help them progress from point A to B and THEN see their gratitude and appreciation for me having helped them get there.

I found this out about myself in the restaurant industry. The fulfilling part of my job was to take someone new, connect and get to know them, then put them on a path to get them to where they wanted to be within the restaurant (server, bartender, manager etc.)

My passion is building people up.

This is my purpose and REASON for pushing through so much hardship.

My talents and true passion lay in the opportunity to make an impact on people. 

This is why I'm taking my message full scale.

Financial Leadership is the title of my eBook I've created for you.

Within the book itself, I dive into what it actually is that I help people with as a licensed financial broker, and WHY I made the jump into starting a new career for myself -


There are two situations that happened to me in the last two years,

Those scenarios raised two questions that I TRULY needed answers to.


In today's episode, I provide a brief overview of the document I came up with for you. If you've ever had the lingering questions or statements,

"What options are out there for me financially?"
"My money is barely making any movement within my TFSA..."
"How do I even go about getting rid of my debt?"
"Why do I even need to protect myself through insurance?"

Shoot me a message over social media and I'll be happy to send you a copy.

Make the jump.

I paint the picture for today's message with a bit from an interview with Will Smith.

I explain his amazing analogy with how everything you're looking for,

The relief,

The joy,

The peace,

The bliss,

Is on the other side of fear.


As humans - it's a natural reaction to be worried of the things that we've never done before, or lack awareness of. It's scary to do something new, talk to a new person or even go to the gym for the first time.

Will Smith's analogy of his skydiving experience is a story I think back to when I am faced with new situations that I've never faced before.

I remind myself that everything I'm looking and striving for,

Is on the other side of fear.

THAT end goal you have in mind,

The one you ponder about daily.

Doesn't matter the length of time it will take, but there are two factors that have a high influence on how long it will take you to get to where you want to be.


     - 1) Who are you associating with?

     - 2) What environment are you spending your productive time in?


I relate specific situations from my personal life in an effort for you to gain insight into how you're able to apply them to your life.

I hear you.

It's been a long and rough road.

So many hours.

So much blood, sweat and tears being poured into what you're aiming for.

Truly - you are so much closer than you think.


When others acknowledge the work and effort you're putting in for your field of work, or any endeavor for that matter - use it as fuel.

Most of the time, other people can see the end goal you're aiming for before YOU can even see it at all.

I encourage you to use this as your source of fuel to keep pushing for that exact end-goal you're thinking of right now, even though the path seems to be fogged. When you feel overwhelmed - take a moment to expand "into the big" from a bird's eye view.


Look at all of the banked HOURS you've put in,

All of the EFFORT expensed,

The TIME you've spent pondering on how to get to where you want to be.


Other people can see where you're trying to go - even though through your own eyes, the path seems to be fogged.

You're so much closer than you think you are.

January,

It was a month of growth and learning for myself.

But, it has been for these reasons that I have never been more focused on a goal in my life.

Through the struggle, hardship, & pain comes clarity for what you truly want to pursue. Use these tough emotions and CHANNEL them.

The struggle & pain you're going through RIGHT NOW will subside. 

Speaking from experience, it gives you the opportunity to channel it into focus for your goals.

The pandemic really screwed us up,

In more ways than one.

The one I'm referring to today is the fact that I believe it did made us feel sheltered - leaking into the way that we share what you & I are passionate about.

I had a few great conversations with people in the last few weeks.

One of those conversations was a friend thanking me for the content that I post - it encouraged him to share his passion of making music with the world.

PLEASE share what you're passionate about.

Coming out of the pandemic, people are ITCHING to FEEL what your passions are. 

Share them with the world.

My career aim is to help close these two gaps.

Gaps that are impeding Canadians & Americans from moving forward together.

Tearing organizations apart.

Companies losing good employees. 

Major component in destroying marriages.

The aim with my content & podcast is to slowly bridge these two separate gaps.

I need help from you.

We're human - you and I will naturally want to put off our to-do list.


I was sitting on my Sunday afternoon, sitting anxiously at the thought of what to work on or how to relax in my given hours.

I decided to make the small effort of opening up my laptop and document to work on my project that's very early in the works.

I then got lost in two and-a-half hours of thought and vision. 


I use a physics analogy to best explain this principle of Harnessing Momentum.


Think of a perfect wooden cube, sitting on an inclined ramp. Just enough friction is present to keep the cube from sliding down the inclined surface.

Give the cube a slight tap - you'll notice that it seems to slide down the incline with ease, and no effort required after. 

Give a small amount of effort into the task that you've been putting off - and you'll come to find that the rest of the tiny steps required after to keep going become incrementally easier. 

Because you got the difficult part out of the way - you gave the cube a slight push.

You gave yourself the slight push to start that task.

You'll find your efforts work this way.

It will happen.

Battling tough points or periods where you're unsure of what your future holds, and how to get through that tough situation are sticky scenarios to deal with.

The two ways that I've fallen back on in order to help me through will help you as well.


          1) Falling back to a hobby.

     - It's helpful to clear the thoughts in your head rushing at 100MPH by falling back onto a hobby that you've always enjoyed - or even trying something new. Find an activity that will reset yourself, mentally.

         2) Be open - Ask for advice.

     - I've made the mistake in the past of bottling up my emotions, I allowed myself to build a story in my head given the situation. Through addressing your frustration and confusion with another person, they're able to offer an outside perspective that can help you see things a bit more different. More so than you would have, alone. 


Use these two tips to help you battle your adversities as they come in 2024.
