In this power-packed 10-minute episode, you'll discover why most entrepreneurs get stuck in "getting ready to get ready" mode—and how to flip the script by starting with your destination and working backward to today.

### **What You'll Learn:**
✅ Why forward planning leads to wandering (and how backward planning creates laser focus)  
✅ The 5-step backward planning method that turns any goal into a concrete roadmap  
✅ A real-world case study: How one entrepreneur used backward planning to launch a $49,500/month subscription service

### **Perfect For:**
- Small business owners stuck in planning paralysis
- Entrepreneurs with big dreams but unclear next steps  
- Anyone ready to stop preparing and start achieving

### **Key Quote:**
*"The difference between dreamers and achievers isn't talent, luck, or intelligence. It's the willingness to turn dreams into dates, and dates into daily actions."*

### **This Week's Challenge:**
Pick ONE major business goal, create your backward plan, and take the first action step before bedtime tonight.

**No theory. No fluff. Just a proven tool you can use today.**

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
