In this milestone episode, Erin reflects on what it really means to show up consistently — as a podcaster, a leader, and a community builder. After 100 episodes, she’s learned that the pursuit of success is rarely about one big moment, it’s about the quiet, steady rhythm of doing the right things over and over again.

 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why 100% occupancy is a byproduct, not the goal
  • What consistency in podcasting taught Erin about consistency in leadership
  • How to lead your community like you’re playing the long game,  with intentional action, not reactive hustle
  • The mindset shift that turns discouragement into momentum
  • How to define success by what you build in yourself, not just your census

 Key Quote

“I thought 100% occupancy was the win, but it was really about becoming the kind of leader who creates it, not chases it.”

Whether you’re at the beginning of your leadership journey or stuck in the messy middle, this episode is a powerful reminder that consistency, aligned with purpose, is the compound interest of leadership.

Show up. Build trust. Stay the course. Let’s go.

(00:01):
Folks, it is here.
100.
Or let me say, 99 episodes ago,I was crying while editing a two
minute intro.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I just knew that I needed to doit.
I believed that if I could makeit to 100 episodes, that I would

(00:26):
know what I was doing, that Iwould feel confident that I
would.
Be there, right?
Wherever there is.
And I'm here and lemme tell you,hindsight is 2020 and I realize
I'm just getting started and theonly reason I got here is

(00:48):
because of one thing and onething only.
And that's consistency, period.
What if 100 wasn't the finishline?
'cause it's not.
What if 100% occupancy doesn'tequal success?

(01:11):
What if clarity, confidence, andcredibility that you have been
chasing only comes when you stopchasing them in this episode I'm
gonna talk about what it reallytook to record 100 episodes of
this podcast and what thatmilestone didn't give me and

(01:31):
what it did, and I believe.
You know, it scares me to saythis a little bit, I believe
that the biggest lie that we'veever been told, the one that I
believe from a professionalstandpoint, is that actually
being a hundred percent isenough, and it's not enough.
It's never gonna be enough.

(01:53):
A hundred episodes isn't enoughfor me.
I mean, look.
Creating a podcast and doing itevery week is hard.
I'm not gonna sit here and lieto you.
It's takes a lot of commitmentand the only person who's
telling me yes or no or anythingis me.
And so it'd be very easy for meto just consistently not show up

(02:14):
and inconsistently deliver, butI want to build trust with an
audience.
I want to serve you.
I want to add value to you, andso therefore, I have to show up
a hundred percent occupancy.
Says that you're a goodsalesperson, or it says that
you've got a great team.
But that doesn't mean that yourwork is over.

(02:37):
It just means what you've got isreally good and that it's worth
investing in, and that includesyou as a leader Most of us are
working ourselves to the bone,trying to grow occupancy, solve
problems, find some kind ofbalance between being everything

(02:59):
for the company and still beingenough for ourselves.
And let me tell you something,it's not enough.
It's not enough.
A hundred percent occupancybeing the pinnacle of success.
The only benchmark that'smeasured and applauded.
That's the biggest lie thatwe've been told.

(03:21):
Because if you hit a hundredpercent occupancy, the wait list
is expected next, and one on thewait list is not gonna be
enough.
You solve the big problem, guesswhat?
A new one's gonna show up,right?
And you finally take a day offand.
Can you shut your brain off?
Is it possible?
I'm not sure.

(03:43):
All this is reality.
It's our reality.
If we are working inside seniorliving, and honestly, if we're
even any type of leader outsideof the senior living industry,
this is the main problem.
Whatever we do, it's not enough.
And we're working so hard,solving all the problems, we
don't see the impact.
All of that is, is contributingto a burnout and contributing to

(04:06):
leaders, great leaders, goodleaders, wanting to leave, but
we gotta tackle thatdifferently.
And that's what I hope thisepisode is about today.
I think I realized why thatpressure never goes away.
That pressure of finding thatbalance or that that enoughness,

(04:29):
I think I figured out why itnever goes away.
I know that I did for me,although I still struggle with
it, but I can put it in itsplace.
It's because we're focused ongrowing someone else's
definition of success, right?
We're focused on growing thecompany.
We're focused on growing theoccupancy of the community.

(04:50):
We're focused on growing onother people's leadership
development, which are all veryimportant, but we're not growing
ourselves.
We're chasing the results fromsomeone else's vision while
ignoring our own potential andour own definition of success.

(05:12):
Unhappiness is going aftersomething that we don't know
that we want and trying to killourselves, trying to achieve it.
If we don't know what we wantand we're constantly out there
trying to solve somebody else'sor reach somebody else's
definition of success, which isnot a bad thing.

(05:36):
We're never feeling enoughbecause we don't even know what
we want.
I'm supposed to feel some kindof way whenever I hit a hundred
percent occupancy, but if it'snot enough for them.
And I just put all this workinto it, then it's not enough
for me because I don't feelenough.

(05:57):
And that disconnect.
This is what creates theburnout.
This is what makes us feel likeno matter how much we give, it
doesn't matter because it'snever going to be enough.
Because it isn't enough whenwe're living by someone else's
definition of success.
But.

(06:17):
What if success isn't aboutachieving a number, a
percentage, what if success isabout aligning your growth with
your goals and their goals?
What if success is found?

(06:40):
In the process of doing theright things at the right time,
and here's the key word,consistently, that's what I have
learned.
That's what a hundred episodeshas taught me, is that
consistency and doing things forthe right reason.

(07:04):
Is what success is.
It's why I feel successrecording this episode.
It's why I feel enough and notenough at the same time because
these a hundred episodes havegiven me so many experiences
that I would've never had had Ijust recorded two episodes or

(07:28):
five episodes.
Or 10 episodes, and so it isenough, but it's not enough
because I love growing in thisarea.
I love it.
Ultimately.
I love it.
Do I struggle with.

(07:49):
The time that it takes that Ihave to invest in for each
episode.
Yes.
Do I struggle with trying tofind guests?
Sometimes, yes.
Do I struggle with having to getthe content ready for this
episode?
Yes.
But do I love it?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
I love it because I get toconnect with you.
I love it because I'm addingvalue to you.

(08:10):
I love it because I hear backfrom you.
I find it weird that I'm bymyself and I'm talking into a
camera and a microphone.
In a playroom, but I love itbecause other people value it,
get value from it, and I amgrowing because of it.

(08:31):
That is why it's enough and yetnot enough at the same time.
I spent 20 years chasing someoneelse's definition of success,
and I gave them almost, almost.
Everything they wanted, it wasnever enough.

(08:51):
It was never going to be enough,and I felt that way, but I
attracted that because I feltthat inside of me, I attracted
who I was.
I attracted somebody who wasgoing, or a company, excuse me,
that was going to prove mythoughts.
Right.

(09:12):
That I was going to stay in thatenvironment of not enoughness,
and yet at the same time beenough for a lot of people that
I cared, served and loved.
But it reinforced a thought of Iwas never enough.
It reinforced a thought thatwas.

(09:32):
Completely enforced way before Iever started working inside
senior living.
So this is not senior living'sfault.
It truly is my own thoughtprocess, my own belief.
And because that was a sentencethat played over and over and
over again, I attractedsomething in my life that was
going to verify that thought.

(09:54):
That is the power of yourthoughts, right?
That mindset that stunted mygrowth.
That stunted my career, and yetit also propelled me because I
wanted to prove people wrongabout me.
But then I started this company,then I started a coaching

(10:15):
program that helped meunderstand that that mindset,
that thought process was false.
It was wrong.
And then I started this podcastand I started it honestly.
To prove myself right, that Iwas enough, that I could do

(10:37):
this, that I had more to saythat I could help people,
because that's what I love todo.
And I'll be honest with you,when I began this, I thought I
had to be perfect.
Which is the problem, right?
It's the same trap that I fellinto in this role as I did
inside of a community.
We feel like we have to beperfect.

(10:57):
The perfect survey, the perfecttour, the perfect move in the
perfect whatever, right?
Quality enhancement survey,quality assurance, survey,
whatever it is, it has to beperfect because if we're not
perfect, we're going to get introuble.
And my God, I don't wanna get introuble.
I was terrified to say the wrongthing.
I was worried someone mightdisagree with me.

(11:17):
I was afraid somebody would callme out.
I was afraid that I wasn'tpolished enough to be heard, but
then something happened.
I realized because of feedbackfrom you, the listeners, people
who consistently listen, thatperspective is enough.

(11:41):
That presence is enough and thatthere is absolutely no certainty
inside senior living.
there is no right way to dothings because we're human.
There's different cities,there's different states,

(12:01):
there's different counties,there's different perspectives,
there's different expectations.
And that somehow along the way,perspective is a gift.
And that I learned that thispodcast and the way that I
communicate with people is aperspective.
It's just something that allowsyou to think about things

(12:23):
differently.
A new way doesn't mean it's theright way.
Doesn't mean that everything Isay or did or didn't do is right
or wrong.
It's a gift my experience is agift to the person who doesn't
have 20 years experience becausemy way to problem solve is a

(12:45):
gift that could spur you tothink about different ways to
solve problems, and that mypresence every Thursday.
Is a gift because you know thatyou can depend on me.
There's no certainty in life.
Although, I thought there was, Iwas certain that things had to
run a certain way and I wascertain that I was right.

(13:07):
But there is purpose in showingup.
And that's important becauseyour presence matters.
As a leader, as a parent, as adirector of nursing, as a
lifestyles director, activitiesdirector, your presence is
important and your consistencyis even more valuable than your

(13:31):
certainty because we're human.
What?
What certainty do we have today,this moment?
That's it.
So my goal became simple becauseI started off really big and it
was really scary.
And of course, even in thecommunity, we all start off
with, we have to be a hundredpercent, we have to be at a

(13:53):
hundred percent.
If we're gonna be a goodcommunity, we have to do this
and we have to do that.
Those are all certainty termsthat are not necessarily
available to us all the time.
We're not gonna go from 55% to ahundred percent in three months.
That's gonna kill you, okay?
But you can grow steadily.

(14:15):
You can focus on one day at atime, one tour at a time, one
associate at a time, one episodeat a time like this.
So I had to realize I had tochange my goal from being.
The best right, or perfect orwhatever it was, a hundred

(14:39):
episodes.
I wanted to be a podcaster witha hundred episodes because then
I would know what to do.
Then I would know what to say.
Then I would know how to editsomething.
Which is true because in thebeginning I didn't know how, but
when I simplified that goal downto adding value to just one
listener.

(15:00):
And if one listener listened, Iwould record another one.
And if one listener listened, Ifelt I had to record another one
to honor that one listener andto do that, to keep showing up.
I had to do that despite myfear, my insecurity, and my

(15:22):
rookie green status.
The cost of success, The cost ofreaching a goal is time, is
effort, is showing up.
Putting the work in, doing thereps, that's the cost.
It requires you to do it anywaywhen people don't listen.

(15:47):
When the episode only gets 30,listen.
You record anyway because yourgoal is just one listener,
right?
If nobody likes the LinkedInpost, it doesn't matter.
Your goal is to talk to thepeople who actually look at it
and value it.
The cost of success is time,effort, and willingness.

(16:14):
That's it.
Showing up.
Patience and persistence, thoseare skills that you have to
cultivate.
They're the skills that requirereps because it's consistency
that get you the results.
It's not doing it one time, it'snot trying something, and then

(16:35):
it failed.
It's trying something.
It failed.
You study it and you do itagain.
And you do that over and over,even if you don't see the
results that you wanna see,because consistency creates
momentum, and that is yoursuperpower.

(16:58):
That's what you may notunderstand, is that every time
you do something over and overand over again to learn and to
get better, you create momentum.
You're preparing for the moment.
And that moment for those yearsand months and days of
preparation, that is the momentwhere it's not luck, it's

(17:20):
preparation, it's reps, and itsconsistency that brought you to
that moment.
So this episode, I want tounpack what consistency has
taught me.
Specifically in my senior livingcareer and through this podcast,
hundredth episode of gettinghere because it's the same, I

(17:43):
literally have managed mycompany now the same way that I
have managed a community.
And it's the way that.
I led inside of a community.
It's the way I've decided togrow both personally and
professionally, although I don'tthink there's a difference, and
it's the way that I definesuccess and how it can do the
same for you.

(18:04):
So let's talk about the power ofconsistency.
All right.
Point number one, you don't needto be great to start.
You need to start to be great.
You know, there's this.
Often overused statement aboutbuilding muscle, losing weight,

(18:25):
that you have to put the reps inand it is true.
Look, I'm struggling that withmyself.
ugh, don't get me started.
You have to break down themuscle.
You have to put the reps in ifyou want the muscle to show
through the fat.
That is true.
How many times, how long does ittake if we value people who lose
a hundred pounds, 50 pounds, 25pounds, all these Instagram

(18:50):
people that tell you how theylost all this weight, what is
the main.
Reason why they were consistent.
They were consistent on doingthe right things at the right
time for the right amount oftime.
That's consistency, right?

(19:11):
So when I had my four hourmeltdown of editing the intro to
this video, I sat there, I didnot know what I was doing.
Look, I hate technology.
I guess hate's a strong word.
I struggle with technology.
I know that it is a weakness ofmine, and one day I look forward
to giving this part of mybusiness to somebody else who

(19:34):
loves it because it's not me.
But I knew in the moment, eventhrough the tears, even when I
felt like such a failure,because it took me four hours to
edit a two minute intro.
And that's why I haven't changedthe intro, honestly.
But I think I'm gonna change itsoon.
I digress.
I knew in that moment that whenI became a podcaster a hundred

(19:58):
episode podcaster, that I wouldknow how to edit an intro, and
it would take me 30 minutes andit would take me 30 minutes
rather than four hours.
Well, I'm happy to say that Ican edit a lot faster now.
Yes, I can.
I am proud of my editing skills.
I have found softwares to makeit easier.

(20:19):
I am very proud of my work.
I consistently showed up everyday and I still don't like it,
and I know it's not in mystrength zone.
I know it's not in my giftedzone, but I know that I also
have to do it.
And over time, over weeklystruggles, my skill caught up

(20:41):
with my effort.
Is it ever going to catch up ahundred percent with my effort?
No, it's not, but I am proud ofwhere I am today and it took me
time, repetition, and effort toget there.
I so I didn't have to be greatand I don't have to be great
today.

(21:01):
I just have to start.
But I do have to love myself andgive myself grace.
And know that I can get betterbecause consistency builds my
credibility.
Consistency builds my skill, andthe more that I show up, the

(21:22):
more credibility I earn from youbecause I'm building trust with
you because I'm showing up.
But by showing up, I have towork through things that are
hard and uncomfortable for me.
To show up, and that's importantfor me It's part of my bigger

(21:42):
vision in adding value to a lotof people that I can't see or be
in the same room with.
I want to expand my reach andthis is my way to do it.
So I have to work through thehard parts.
I have to slog through theediting.
I have to find the clips.

(22:03):
I have to do all of that, eventhough I don't love it, to have
the intended impact that I wantto have.
Consistency builds credibility,and you don't have to be great
or even good to start.
You just have to start, andthat's important.

(22:23):
Point number two, consistencybuilds security.
Your team doesn't need asuperhero.
They need a steady hand.
I like this analogy because toomany of us think that we have to
be heroes to be trusted.
Too many of us think that wehave to overextend ourself and

(22:45):
sacrifice our own time in orderto be successful, and that's not
true.
And even though I have hit 100episodes, I should have hit 100
episodes four or five weeks ago.
But over the course of a coupleyears, I missed a few weeks.

(23:06):
There were certain things goingon.
I didn't manage my time well,and I wasn't going to overextend
myself and give an episode thatwas.
Not the quality that I wanna putout.
So I had to say to myself, I'mnot gonna put a new episode out.

(23:26):
And I had to sit with that, andI had to be okay with that.
These are boundaries.
These are truths that I tellmyself.
These are expectations that Ididn't meet, but I'm okay with
because other priorities cameup.
And I couldn't meet the standardand I didn't hate myself for it.

(23:47):
I didn't martyr myself to meet astandard.
I just accepted the fact that Icouldn't do it.
And that's a steady hand.
if you're inside of a community,your team doesn't need you to
constantly be a hero.
They need you to be the exampleof understanding an expectation,

(24:12):
living out that expectation, andalso living out boundaries that
may have to change anexpectation for a minute or say,
I couldn't make it because ofthis, so I sent someone else in
my place, or to communicate inadvance that something was
happening and so therefore, Mypresence is not going to be here

(24:37):
too many times.
We think we have to besuperheroes when really all we
have to be is a steady,consistent hand because your
consistency in communicating andyour consistency and your
presence builds yourcredibility.

(24:58):
Are your words, your actions,and your vision and alignment?
That is credibility.
That is consistency.
That is building trust.
I show up every Thursday, mostThursdays with a new episode.
Every Saturday morning I sendout.

(25:19):
A mentoring email come hell orhigh water.
I have not really missed aSaturday morning Why do I do
that?
Because I want to build trustwith you, with my, with my email
list, with my listeners to thepodcast, and it is something
that I learned from myleadership inside of a
community.

(25:40):
Look, I.
I got it down to an art.
I parked in the same parkingspace every day.
I drank the same thing everymorning.
I started my rounds in thekitchen.
Every morning.
I would do very specific thingswith the same people.
I would say the same words.

(26:00):
I would wear heels where theywould know when I was coming,
people knew that they couldtrust me because I was a steady
hand.
I was consistent and a lot ofour teams need consistency more
than they need anything else.
And if you can be a steady handto people, if you can

(26:23):
communicate well andproactively, if you can learn to
respond overreact and if you canchoose to show up.
Consistently inside of yourcommunity, you build trust, you
build security, you buildcredibility, and that's
important.

(26:44):
You walking the halls in yourcommunity, you communicating to
your regional team, you commuhaving your regional team
communicate to you knowing whatto expect.
Is important because how manytimes have we had leaders where
you never knew what to expectand you were kind of always

(27:04):
scared and on edge, like, oh,what were they gonna say?
But this consistency, it buildsyour credibility and it builds
security in the people that youserve.
And you make the choice to do itevery day.
Every day.
What can you commit to?
Who is the person that I wannashow up as?
How do I communicate?

(27:26):
How can I communicatespecifically?
Do I make proactivecommunication an important
process in my leadership?
Remember, and I'm gonna say thisover and over again, consistency
builds credibility.
Consistency builds security.
And point number three,consistency compounds your

(27:47):
growth.
Now, this is something that iskind of newer to me over the
last few years, that intensityis impressive, but consistency
is what truly brings success.
I am an intense, passionateleader.

(28:12):
I believed that intensity wassomething that was a driver of
momentum, that I needed to beintense.
That, that, that intensity iswhat brought success to me.
But when I look back, theintensity.

(28:34):
Was the fuel of what broughtsuccess, but it wasn't the
reason because intensity canrepel people away from you.
Two.
I mean, somebody with a lot ofintensity, can be hard to be in
the same room with sometimes,but.

(28:57):
Long term consistency willalways beat short term
intensity.
Think about sales directors orexecutive directors who came
into a community and really wason fire and started getting all
these move-ins and life wasgoing great, and then something

(29:18):
happened.
And their fire, their flame thatjust went out.
'cause they couldn't beconsistent.
Their intensity was so hot thatit couldn't keep the flame
going.
Short term intensity will loseto long term consistency over

(29:39):
time.
Consistency is what builds thatmomentum.
If you think about Dave Ramseyand the snowball effect, You pay
off the smallest bill first, andthen you move to the next bill,
and then you move to the nextbill, and the next thing you
know, you've got this momentum,right?
And you got your snowballsgetting bigger, and all of a
sudden this debt gets paid offfaster.
That's what he sells, the debtsnowball.

(30:03):
If you think about a rocket or atrain, it's the same thing.
It's the energy.
It's the reps that you put in.
It's that fuel and everythingelse that goes into getting a
rocket off the launchpad.
It takes a long time for thatlaunchpad to get ready to launch

(30:24):
the rocket into space.
It takes a lot of intensity, butit also takes a lot of
consistency to get the rocketready to be launched.
Momentum comes from tiny steps,tiny actions that build over
time into this really big burstof growth, and that's what

(30:49):
happens every day inside of acommunity.
That's what happens.
When I made a commitment toevery Thursday releasing an
episode every Thursday, and thenit took this weird turn for me,
this, this podcast did wheneverI decided that I wanted to
interview people, and this iswhere the compounding effect

(31:12):
comes in, because I started thispodcast with solo episodes, and
obviously as a new podcast, youdon't get a lot of.
Listens.
And my downloads were fine.
I was happy with them.
I expected one listener and Igot many more than one.

(31:33):
Right.
But in the grand scheme ofthings, it wasn't a lot.
But I still kept going.
And I'll tell you, and I knowI've said this before, but one
of the biggest fears of my lifewas rejection.
But one of the biggest dreams Iever had was being a
broadcaster, sports broadcaster,interviewing people on the
field, or interviewing peopleafter a game or something to

(31:56):
that effect.
And if I was to live my dream, Iwas going to have to ask
somebody to come and be a gueston my podcast.
But living my dream meant that Ihad to ask strangers I didn't
know to be on a podcast that wasso new that hardly anybody

(32:19):
listened to it and talk aboutfear, especially with the core
wound in my life beingrejection.
I would, I wanted to throw.
Up.
I wanted to run away.
I did not want to have to putmyself in that position to have
to ask anybody to be a guest onthis podcast because I didn't

(32:41):
want them to say no to mebecause this wasn't a
professional project.
This was an errand project, andpersonal errand was still very
raw to rejection, but I put itinto a perspective.
This was my dream.

(33:02):
This was little Erin's dream andthat I owed it to her to ask and
what's the worst that couldhappen?
People say, no, and that's okay.
That's okay.
And so I did.
I started asking, and if you goback to year 2023, um, I

(33:26):
started, I think I had my first.
I think I had maybe five or sixguests.
And then year 2024, I decidedthat I was going to be
consistent and I was going tohave guests on my podcast almost
every week.
And that took a lot of effortfor me to do that and it took a
lot of overcoming nos to do thatas well.

(33:49):
But here's what I learned aboutcompounding growth, the more
people you get on your episodes.
The more people you get to knowand the more you learn from
them.
And now all of a sudden I'mgrowing at a rate that I have
never grew in my life because a,I am asking people to be a guest

(34:11):
on my podcast.
They're saying yes, so they'resaying no, and I'm okay with
both and I'm learning from them.
And then they introduce me toother people, and then I am
giving away influence for themand I'm getting influence from
them.
And all of a sudden I start togrow, this podcast starts to

(34:34):
grow, and my growth compoundsbecause I took the effort and
I'm consistent and I show up andI ask, and I'm okay, and I keep
going and I learn.
And I add value to them and theyadd value to me.
Consistency compounds yourgrowth over time.

(34:57):
It doesn't matter if they sayno, if it seems impossible.
You keep trying.
You fail, you learn, youreapply, You have to look at
things from a very critical eye.
To grow and learn and adaptbecause it is worth your time.

(35:20):
When you grow yourself, you groweverything else.
You grow your capacity, you growyour influence, you grow your
problem solving, you.
Growth depends on yourconsistency and when you keep
going and you invest in others,your growth compounds.
And that is really important,and it is doing it anyway.

(35:43):
It's showing up and doing thework even when nobody sees you,
because it is the disciplinethat you have in the quiet dark
times that will earn you thesuccess that everybody sees.
It's overcoming your ownthoughts, your own mindset, your
own limiting beliefs, for you tosee how your growth matters.

(36:09):
That your consistency, yourpresence, your showing up, your
deciding that you were made formore matters, and give yourself
the time and the grace to keeptrying and keep learning.
All right, to recap, consistencybuilds credibility.
Consistency builds security.

(36:31):
Consistency compounds yourgrowth.
Yeah, and consistency reinforcesyour vision and your values
leadership, as well asparenting.
But that's a whole notherpodcast, right?
Leadership is caught not taught.
So your presence matters.
Your words matter how you, pickup the trash, how you love on

(36:56):
your residents, how you love onyour team, how you, how you
communicate, and introducepeople.
on tours, all of that matters.
How you treat people is how yourteam will treat people.
How you show up will eventuallybe how some of your team shows

(37:17):
up, how you talk to the 20% ofthe people inside of your
community that move the needleof success.
That's how much success you'llget because when you focus on.
Those 20% growing, those 20%adding value to everybody,
people will naturally want tocome and grow and rise with you.

(37:41):
That's how your consistency willcompound your growth.
Your vision and your values haveto be reflected and your actions
and your words, becauseleadership is caught not taught.
You.
Your team, your community is areflection of you, the leader,
the coach.
How do you show up?

(38:02):
How do you wanna show up?
How do you value them?
And I'll tell you and know I'vealready said this, passion fades
without discipline.
I think consistency is justanother word for discipline.
You have to show up and stoprelying on feeling like it.

(38:23):
I didn't feel like doing thistoday.
I didn't feel like doing thattoday because you have to do it
anyways.
Your moods should not determineyour actions.
When you create habits, thosehabits determine your future.
They determine your actions.

(38:44):
When you believe that you areworth it and they are worth it,
You start doing thingsdifferently, I love this quote
by Michael Ange says, If youdevelop the habits of success,
you'll make success a habit, andthat is something we should all
strive for.
Vince Lombardi had a quote toothat says, once you learn to

(39:07):
quit, quitting can become ahabit.
Your thoughts influence youremotions.
Your emotions influence youractions and your actions are
directly tied to your results.
Do the work, even if you aren'tseen, do the work.
Even if they don't appreciateit, do the work because your

(39:30):
growth is important.
And do the work because oneperson will be impacted in a
positive way, and that oneperson could be you.
It could be you.
I used to think that certaintywas the goal, like it had to be
done this way and it has to bedone this way because it has to.

(39:54):
Or that means I'm a failure, ithas to, or that means that I'm
going to get in trouble.
But now I understand thatconfidence isn't built by
knowing.
Confidence is built by showingup over and over again.

(40:19):
How many times have you seenpeople who know everything and
can't do any of it?
Confidence is action oriented.
That's what consistency givesyou.
Consistency gives you theevidence of proof that you are
capable.
Now, I want you to know that theonly reason why I knew that I

(40:42):
could do this is because myjunior year in high school, I
was voted most likely to talk toa tree, and now I talk into a
microphone in my home office 100episodes later with a platform
that has reached thousands ofpeople.

(41:03):
That was a French teacher whoknew what she was talking about,
right?
It turns out that this gift wasalways here and I just had to
keep showing up to uncover it.
Not because I'm special, butbecause I'm consistent.

(41:24):
There are gifts inside of youthat have been buried deep under
layers of inconsistency, lack ofdiscipline.
Lack of confidence, lack ofbelief, lack of mentorship.
You can do anything you want todo with any gift you have.

(41:47):
You just have to be aware of itand believe that you're worth
it.
And over time it gets better.
Time is the currency of successand it.
It takes a lot of time and itwill continue to take time to

(42:09):
reach the potential that we allhave inside of us, and it is
certainly a goal that is worthinvesting in.
And I just from the bottom of myheart wanna say thank you.
You have given me your time andyour attention, and that's two
very precious things that youwill never get back.

(42:30):
And my goal is to add value toyou.
And every feedback that I'veever received from you on an
email, from a podcast, I havetreasured it and I have listened
to it and I have tried to adaptto it.
And I wanna continue doing thatfor you because I want to add

(42:51):
value to you.
I do this for you, I do this forme.
But I do this, I record this, Istudy topics for you, and that
is the greatest gift that youcould ever give me.
And I just say, I want to saythank you.

(43:14):
I also have other ways that youcan work with me.
Um, I have our new ExecutiveDirector's Playbook course,
which is really a great courseto offer a lot of perspective on
very specific topics.
We also have a learning cohortthat goes with it, the Executive
Director Launch Lab.
Our first cohort is halfwaythrough and we are going to be

(43:35):
starting, open registration forthe next group, which we're
excited about.
So if you want more information,please uh, send me an email.
I'll be more than happy todiscuss that with you.
Our first group has been amazingand getting to know everyone,
and their story and being ableto offer perspective advice and

(43:56):
mentorship and direction hasbeen, another gift that I will
always treasure as well.
Mentorship is something that.
I'm very purposeful andpassionate about, and there's
not enough of it inside seniorliving, and you can have that
for yourself.

(44:17):
It is an investment, but it's aninvestment that will compound
your success and your owngrowth.
And I'm seeing that firsthandand it's exciting to watch.
Growth is exciting to watch.
So again, thank you for givingme your time.
I know it's very important toyou.

(44:37):
I appreciate it more than youknow, so thank you.
And always own your story so youcan create the future that you
