Join the FIO Friday newsletter →https://thefiomindset.kit.com/d33acbd37e Most people think momentum starts with motivation. It doesn’t. It starts with a decision — often one you make before you feel ready. In this week’s FIO Friday episode, Rachel shares how a speaking opportunity she said yes to just a week ago, her first-ever book signing, and a week of unexpected momentum all came from one simple choice: moving before certainty. If you’ve been waiting for clarity, confidence, or the perfect plan, this episode will help you reset. Because clarity follows action.Confidence follows action.Momentum follows action. Not before — after. This episode will challenge you to create your own one-week yes and take one small step toward the thing you’ve been avoiding. Your future isn’t built in someday moments.It’s built in the ordinary weeks when you decide to move.

    FIO Friday: Standing at the Gate

    Tonight, my daughter is stepping back into a ski race for the first time in two years — after a crash that shattered her tib/fib. As I record this, we don’t know how it will go. There’s no result yet. No ending to report. Just the choice to step back into the gate. In this FIO Friday, I share a lesson that’s stayed with me since I first heard it — that life comes down to what we focus on, what we decide it means, and what we do next. This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of something right now — before the conversation, before the risk, before you know how it turns out. You don’t need certainty to move.Sometimes you just need willingness. I wrote a book! Pre-ordering now and during launch week(January 13-19) is the most meaningful way to support this book—thank you for being part of the beginning!!Pre-order The FIO Mindset here:HARDCOVER: https://amzn.to/4pStDDa PAPERBACK: https://amzn.to/4seOaUb If this resonates, I hope you’ll share it—especially if someone in your world could use a little encouragement to keep going Thank you for being part of this journey and for believing in forward motion.
