Hey guys, it’s Michael here with a powerful mid-year check-in! We’re halfway through 2025—are you crushing your goals or coasting along? In this episode, I challenge you (and myself) to reflect on the past six months: Did we really do what we said we would? Did we let emotions, excuses, or bad habits derail our progress? Or are we stepping up to the plate and moving the needle in our lives and businesses?
I share my own honest audit—where I fell short, what I’ve learned, and the big commitments I’m making right now to turn this year around. We’ll dive into why most people keep repeating the same year over and over, how to reset your goals for the second half of 2025, and the practical daily habits you need to dominate Q3 and beyond. If you’re ready to stop pretending and start achieving, this episode is for you.
