In this episode, we kick things off with a story about a "social media CPA guy" and the importance of recognizing your own expertise even when it feels like everyone else is getting ahead. We then discuss the danger of the "go hard or go home" mindset when it comes to personal goals. We explore why a one-track focus can lead to burnout, and we offer a more strategic, holistic approach to achieving your ambitions. We’ll break down why the idea of running your personal life like a business can be a recipe for disaster and how to avoid the anxiety that comes with trying to control everything.

I also share a powerful story about a friend who tried to sacrifice his entire social life to hit a single financial goal. Spoiler alert: he didn’t quite get there, but the real takeaway was what he lost along the way. We challenge the notion that "hustle culture" is the only path to success and discuss how building the right team and delegating effectively is the real secret to scaling. We'll give you a simple framework for setting quarterly goals and making adjustments when life happens, so you can plan for success, not dwell on failure.
