There is nothing more satisfying than being the exception to the rule. When people say you can't do something, it's often because they don't want to do it, and it upsets them that you're trying. So, keep pursuing your goals, your WHY. Get it!

It's challenging to share your most personal thoughts, goals, and desires with anyone, no matter who they are to you. This week, we will explore why this is scary and how to overcome it.

It's the weekend! Let's get this wrap-up done and enjoy some free time with family and friends. So, to close out our tool talk, we are looking at one of our best tools, people. That's right. Friends, family, and others will tell you what they see, that is, when they notice you are changing for the better. Not that you should be fishing for compliments, but get someone to notice the hard work you are putting in.

The communication device in your pocket is the new tool for survival, unless you are in an actual survival situation with no service or WiFi. Anyway, your phone is a great tool to help keep you on track to reach your goals, whether that is in health, wellness, and fitness, or with your finances. Use that device instead of it using you.

Let's keep adding to your tool belt. Today's episode is also gifted with two tools, like yesterday's. First, manage your finances and stay aware of your accounts. Second, how is your wardrobe doing? How are your clothes fitting? These two tools can help you stay on track.

Life is full of obstacles, distractions, and numerous other variables that can throw us off course. That is why writing down your goals is essiential for progress in any and every area of life. However, we need to ensure that our goals have measurable markers so we know how we are doing and how much further we need to go to achieve our goal(s). As you add to your specific goal, ensure that you include measurable actions.

Creating SMART Goals is an acronym you may have heard before, but it's worth revisiting to understand what it stands for. However, setting a SMART goal is not something Coach came up with. When following the blueprint of SMART goals, they often turn into achievements. Start with a small goal and build up from there. The more you accomplish, the more you will do. Let's get it!

Happy Monday! New week, new challenge. Today, we are challenged to set a goal. The goal you set does not need to be big, but it does need to be something that you will do. Goals get us past the average life.

The talk of the why has come to an end. However, that does not mean you should stop working on your why. Remember, your 'why' is not confined to just your health, wellness, and fitness, but encompasses every area of your life. Now it's the weekend, you may have a little more time to dive deep into your why, and you need to take that time for yourself.

We need to start focusing on ourselves. Not in the "main character" (that's the new phrase, right?) fashion, or everything is about you. Instead, we need to be selfish with our time. We give away too much time already. We need to spend a little more time on ourselves. If you want to show up for friends, family, and whoever else, we need to work on us first.

Today, you get to meet Coach a little more as he talks about his why. There is a dark spot for a brief moment in the show, but Coach is being honest with you about his journey to figuring out his why. Wherever you're at in your health, wellness, and fitness, let today be the day that you push past the superficial why and get down to the nitty gritty. Please do it for yourself, and no one else.

A quick nugget to get you through the afternoon. Asking an important question to yourself, Why? It's the one-word question parents dislike from their kids, and it's the question we don't like to ask ourselves. But take a few minutes to ask yourself why today. When you start to cry, you have reached your Why.

A brief overview of the goal for the show. No matter your age, this show is going to be dedicated to you, the listener. Your host has a passion for health, wellness, and fitness, and has a goal of helping individuals. This first episode is brief, like most of them will be (hopefully). But you should smile and have fun in each episode to come, including this one.
