This is the story of how Chris overcame the pain and trauma of his first marriage, and after ten years forgot the anniversary of the wedding! All of us go through difficult and uncomfortable seasons in our lives, whether it is personal or business-related, and how we respond to these challenges has a huge impact on what follows.

Are you tired of feeling like you were born to make a difference, but something mysterious keeps holding you back? What if the biggest obstacle is yourself? In this episode, we speak to high-performance coach and business mentor Jake Kauffman about his journey to finding his true purpose and why the pain stops when you embrace truth.

We all know the feeling of our emotions bubbling over in response to something that somebody else has said or done. These emotions may come in the form of rage, grief, shock, or anything in between. No matter our age or stage of life, emotional triggers are unavoidable, so it is vital that we learn how to deal with them in a healthy way.

If you’re looking to grow your service-based business, identifying the gatekeepers in your field and building relationships with them may be the best way to do so. It may sound obvious, but sometimes we lose track of the foundations when we hit a slow season.

Are you giving yourself permission to evolve? This is something that many people struggle with, and it comes up frequently in coaching. People often struggle to give themselves license to reach the next level and take on the persona or identity of the person they want to become in order to have the life and business that they really, truly, deeply want.

Committing to a challenge over a set period of time can kickstart your growth and help you get focused on what’s most important to you. Where could you stretch yourself? Will you be committed enough to actually do the work? If you’re interested in pushing yourself in nearly every category of your life and business, this is the episode for you!
