Less science, more you

I stopped using the sauna because "the science didn't support that it was worth my time"-- whatever that means. I also stopped foam rolling for a long time because it doesn't "break up adhesions or scar tissue." Except- the sauna feels good and so does foam rolling.   In this episode I cover: __ __

How to Feel Good About "Bad" Results

How you interpret your results tell you more about yourself than the result itself. Here at The Confidence Project, Co. we believe that humans can only control their actions and their attitudes... which means we can't control our results. The problem is many of us set results as goals. But The Confidence Project, Co. also believes that goals are action items on your to-do list. So, what are results then? A completely neutral fact. How we interpret that fact is where we should focus as a high level personal development tool (not recommended for beginners!)

How I Started Writing More

This episode is less about writing and more about the ways we disqualify ourselves from things based on arbitrary rules and pressure and how that can be! I used a similar logic mentioned in this episode to rebuild trust between me and my body a couple years ago when I didn't have the capacity to get a workout in. Tune in to hear the logic!

Goal Setting Glow Up: My 3-Step Process for Goal Setting That Will Actually Change Your Life

Pre-requisites for this style of goal setting: __ __ The good news is that this goal setting process will help you cultivate the aforementioned pre-requisities. Not great at self reflection? This goal setting method will help you with exactly that. What's even better is that this goal setting process can become a part of your life values system. It gets better and better each time you do it-- you will get to know yourself more and more with each time you revisit this process. At my gym, Iron Phoenix Strength Club, we did this method of goal setting multiple times throughout the year- which is exactly what I beleive is missing from most goal setting techniques. I recommmend doing this multiple times throughout each year! HERE'S THE 3 STEP PROCESS: Step 1: Identify 3 ways you want to feel Step 2: Identify 3 action items for each that make you feel the way you want to feel Step 3: Plug action items into your to-do list That's it! The rest of the magic is inside the episode ;)

Designing Your Benefits Package as a Small Business Owner

The day you decided to work for yourself was the day you became responsible for DESIGNING YOUR WORK WORLD. Many of us get swept away in "EMPLOYEE MODE" and struggle to get into "BOSS MODE." What if you evaluated your business beyond how much money you made this month vs last month or this year vs last year? What if instead you evaluated your business based on YOUR EXPERIENCE OF WORKING FOR YOURSELF? Does your business require long hours, working weekends, and powering through no matter how sick you are? Does your boss care about how work is affecting your sleep, relationships, and hobbies? Would you elect to work for a company like that if it wasn't yours?  In today's episode, I present the idea that we should objectively assess our self-created work environments as if we work for someone else's company, and then BEGIN TO DESIGN OUR IDEAL BENEFITS PACKAGE FOR OUR OWN SMALL BUSINESS. Your Benefits Package can include anything! Maybe you never want to work past 6pm ever again. Maybe you never want to work weekends again. Maybe you never want to start work at 5am ever again. Maybe you have a 72 hour client response time instead of 12. Maybe you take a week off every 8 weeks. Maybe you want two entire days during the week of no work so you don't have to send your kid to child care. In other words, what are some benefits of working for yourself? A seasonal change in availability. An extra few days off after the Holidays. You get to decide!   Episode mentioned: Are You a Toxic Boss to Yourself?
