🎙️ Ready to Break Through Your Limits?  

Ever felt that itchy nervousness before a big presentation, competition, or challenge?  

That discomfort is actually a powerful signal – you're operating at your growth edge, exactly where transformation happens fastest. 

As I prepare for the biggest deal of my career so far, I'm sharing the psychological tool that research consistently shows eliminates anxiety and maximizes performance.  

It's surprisingly simple yet profoundly effective: asking one question and taking action.  

This question redirects focus from worry to actionable steps within your control - tune in to steal this powerful performance question.  

Professional athletes understand this principle intuitively.  

They deliberately sign up for competitions that stretch their capabilities because they recognize that reaching for seemingly impossible goals expands their capacity to perform. Just like Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile barrier, we only transcend our limitations by attempting what initially seems beyond our reach. This explains why so many people instinctively sign up for marathons or fitness challenges when they feel stuck – structured challenges accelerate personal development.  

But... how do you perform well while stretching?  

THIS is what episode is all about.  
  

🔥 Challenge for April:  

  • Set a goal that feels too big.  
  • Focus on what you can control.  

Growth doesn’t happen when you win.  

It happens while you’re stretching, learning, and expanding.  

Want to know how this mindset is shaping my journey?  

Tune in! Let's grow together.
