How High Performers Break Through with Joshua Kalinowski

Are your dreams just ideas floating in your mind or are you ready to turn them into action? Most of us have big goals, but the real challenge is execution. How do you stay focused, avoid burnout, and actually get things done, especially when life gets messy or plans fall apart? In this episode of Actions Antidotes, we’re joined by Joshua Kalinowski, former professional athlete, business leader, and the founder of Kalinowski Enterprises. Joshua shares what it really takes to “dream big and execute bigger”, his personal mantra that goes beyond motivation and into sustainable strategy. From building systems that support success to understanding your own rhythms and energy, Joshua talks about making smart, intentional moves even when life doesn’t go as planned. He opens up about losing his identity after baseball and how that led him to build not just businesses, but people from within. You’ll also hear how his “PILL” framework (Painful, Intentional, Lazy, and Loving) can transform your daily habits into lasting personal wins. Whether you're chasing growth in business, relationships, health, or simply looking to reclaim your time and energy, this conversation is a must-listen.Tune in now to learn how to build a life where your actions match your ambitions. --- Listen to the podcast here: How High Performers Break Through with Joshua Kalinowski Welcome to Action’s Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. This year, on this podcast, we’ve been covering a lot about practical tools in which to help you get going. There’s always a period of time to dream, to plan, to figure out what you want is, but, at some point, you have to actually, as my last episode we discussed, take action, and taking action requires some practical tools. So, to talk a little bit more about some of these practical tools that you can use in order to dream big but execute bigger, I would like to invite onto the show Joshua Kalinowski, the president and visionary for Kalinowski Enterprises, which involves a lot of things so we’re going to cover that all in the episode. ---   Joshua, welcome to the program.   My man, appreciate it. Man, it is so good to be here. Thanks for the intro.   Oh, yeah, wonderful. And let’s start right with this whole dream big, execute bigger. That’s kind of your motto.   It is, yes. Well, it really came, it’s just kind of, for me, it’s more of like just reminding me constantly that as much as I dream, I’ve got to take action on it so I’ve got to take action and execute on things at an even larger scale because, as we know, it takes so much more to actually get fulfillment out of that. It takes so much more to actually have these things that accomplishes so much harder so it’s just another like a mantra for me to remind myself that if I’m going to dream big, I’ve got to execute at an even bigger stage.    So, yeah, so that execute bigger part of it, and I think this is something that, obviously, we talk a lot about people who just talk up a storm and talk is cheap, anyone can say, “One day, I’m gonna write a book,” “One day, I’m gonna do the Grand Canyon rim to rim to rim,” as we kind of discussed before ––   Good example, I love it.   Yeah, so one day we’re going to do that, but most people acknowledge that you have to do something, but this whole execute bigger, do you encounter a lot of people who dream big but then execute, but their execution is not as big as it needs to be in order to make that dream a reality?   Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, you mentioned earlier, I’m the CEO and president of Kalinowski Enterprises and so I get to see a lot of entrepreneurs, and we hire a lot of people within our company so we go anywhere from real estate all the way to roofing and everything in between there. And so, yeah, you see so many people that say, “Hey, listen, I wanna be successful in this industry. I think I’m gonna be really good in this industry,” and you start to ask them, “Why do you think you’re gonna be good? Why is this industry something that’s attractive to you?” and they try to tell you a lot of like the reasons why in their mind that they’re going to be successful at it, but we see, oftentimes, those aren’t going to be the motivating factors. There’s going to be things, like it’s going to be eventually hard. You’re going to have to figure out, not everything about this industry is glamorous, and, in order to be successful, what are you willing to do in order to succeed? And like you were talking about, usually, what ends up happening is people are dreaming so large that they don’t even know how to start.   So, how does someone dream big and execute bigger without burning themselves out?   Well, you’re the expert in that, right? We should probably be talking more to you about this stuff. What I would say just complimentary to, you and I have a lot in common on literally how do we make sure that we’re performing and executing at a high level but also no
