Do you ever feel like there’s something missing from your life or business?

If so, you’re not alone.

But what you think is missing might not give you the satisfaction you’re after once you get it.

A lot of my clients tell me that they want more clients or they want to reach a certain financial goal.

But what they’re chasing is the vehicle, and even once they reach it, they still don’t feel satisfied.

In this episode, I share an exercise I walk my clients through to uncover what truly matters.

This simple shift helps you get what you want sooner, without the endless chase.

Covered in this episode:

  • Why “more clients” or “more revenue” never feels like enough.
  • An exercise to uncover what really matters to you.
  • How to make important decisions more easily.
  • Uncovering your highest priority.
