    480: My Life Was Running Me Until I Took This Step

    In this solo Expansion Era episode, I’m opening up about a turning point in my journey: when I realized my life was running me, not the other way around. I share the step I took to shift that dynamic and the five powerful lessons that continue to guide me today. From building discipline like a muscle, to falling in love with the process, to tracking effort over outcomes, these lessons are helping me reclaim balance, confidence, and control. I’m still in the process myself, but I know these insights can help you start running your life, too. In this episode I share: Why focusing on the muscle you’re building matters more than the resultHow to fall in love with the process and romanticize the mundaneThe importance of tracking the process, not just the outcomesHow to recognize and adjust for your shortcomingsWhy letting go of rigid expectations opens the door to more wins Highlights include: 00:00 Intro02:26 Lesson 1: Focus on the muscle, not the results07:12 Lesson 2: Fall in love with the process11:24 Lesson 3: Track the process, not the result16:05 Lesson 4: Adjust for your shortcomings21:16 Lesson 5: Let go of expectations & celebrate small wins25:32 Closing thoughts + invitation to my live class Links mentioned on this episode Register for my free class: https://sidehustlepro.lpages.co/your-first-1000-downloads/ Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): http://sidehustlepro.libsyn.com/rss AnnouncementsIf you’re looking for a community of supportive side hustlers who are all working to take our businesses to the next level, join us here: http://sidehustlepro.co/facebook Social Media InfoSide Hustle Pro – @sidehustlepro #SideHustlePro Hosted on Acast.
