What if you could transform your life by simply choosing a single word to define your year? Uncover the keys to making 2025 your most successful year yet as I guide you through maximizing the final days of 2024 with strategic intention. Together, we'll explore the powerful practice of selecting a defining word that aligns your daily actions with long-term aspirations. Plus, discover the habits to leave behind as we embrace a fresh start, building unshakable discipline and momentum to reach new heights.

Celebrate the power of progress with me—it's what propels us forward and keeps us motivated. As I look back on the incredible journey of the podcast, with 180 episodes and 114 consecutive weeks, it's clear that small wins are the stepping stones to success. Learn how to integrate these victories into your daily life, whether through fitness goals or personal achievements, to create a sense of momentum and fulfillment. Setting meaningful goals is crucial, and I'll share how to connect them to a larger purpose that truly resonates with your personal and professional life.

Let's redefine success by finding deeper meaning in our goals and treating ourselves with the kindness we deserve. I'll share my personal story of overcoming a family trend of alcoholism and how personal development can inspire transformative change. As we approach 2025, adopt "impeccable" as your guiding word to harness precision and integrity in all pursuits. Embrace this mindset to win each day and together, let's make the upcoming year one of empowerment and extraordinary success.

Speaker 2:

I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful and so fired up.

Speaker 1:

We have now 15 days left in 2024.

Speaker 2:

If you're listening to this the day of the recording, 15 days left in 2024, two more Mondays left, not including this Monday. What I see is 15 more days of opportunity, 15 days and two more weeks to start setting the tone for 2025 and laying out the groundwork. Why wait until January 1st? Why not start right now? The new year, in my book, has already somewhat gotten started. I believe that winning today started yesterday. Winning this week if you're listening to this on Monday also started yesterday, because winning the week starts on Sunday. Winning the month starts the month prior, and I believe that winning the year starts in December. So, winning 2025, we are already rocking and rolling, and that's why it was put on my heart to spend the last few weeks of this year releasing a 2025 goals series. So last week, I shared how to pick one word that you can use to resemble your year and the importance of picking a word that will resemble your year, as you'll find that you may find that by doing so by picking one word that you want your year to embody and resemble, by picking one word that you want your year to embody and resemble that you'll find that your daily, weekly, monthly efforts are more in alignment with that word than you would ever imagine, and that word serves as a governor if you will, or it's always there on your shoulder to remind you before you go and do something if it's really in alignment with that word or not. So if you haven't gone and listened to that episode, that's number 179. Go and check that out, because that is something that will definitely help you in the new year. This week, we're going to talk about three things that you should stop doing, or three things I recommend people stop doing in the new year, and these are three things that I often find, by working with clients and leading corporate teams, that hold people back, and you may have done one, some or all the things, and I'm also coming to to you as somebody that has done the not-dos and has worked to get them out of my system. So I'm not telling these three things, sharing these three things with you as somebody that has never done them. I am the chief sinner in the room, if you will, and have also learned that these things are not useful. Yet a lot of people do them and sometimes aren't even aware that by doing these things, these three things that they're holding themselves back and not promoting forward progress.

Speaker 2:

Next week, we will reveal how to build unshakable discipline, which is very fitting, since the unshakable discipline course and mastermind community is live, which I highly recommend you all check out as we're going into the new year. That is my baby and I've taken everything that I've learned over the last 13 years of personal development and talking and interviewing some of the most renowned people in the world, bits and pieces of their playbook and all of that is in there so unshakable discipline. And then every year, what I do is the last episode of this year I write myself an annual letter on what the year is going to look like and a reflection of the prior year. So I will share my 2024 reflection and my 2025 outlook, and the intent of sharing that which I've done now for the past couple of years is to one, give a piece of the playbook. Two, to inspire at least one of you to do the same book. Two, to inspire at least one of you to do the same. What I've found in this letter writing process is that by writing this letter in December and then looking at it again throughout the year and then finally having the formal review, which I will do on December 27th and 28th so much more progress and change is made than you can imagine. When you're living in the day-to-day, sometimes you even forget that you have the letter, but you go back and look at it and every year that I've done this, I've thought, wow, this is powerful stuff, this is truly life-changing. And then, the first episode of the year, I'm going to share with you two absolutely insane things that I'm planning for 2025, like off the walls, and I can't wait to share that. So that's what we're looking at for the rest of 2025, and or rather the rest of 2024, so that 2025 can be one of the best years ever.

Speaker 2:

And I always believe that every year why not every year be the best year ever? So I go into every single year even 2025, that this is going to be the best year of my life. I don't think about all right, when I was 25 years old, that was one of the best years of my life. But why not the next year? Strive for that to be the best year? And then 2026, after 2025, is the best year. Let's make that now the best year and continue raising the bar and elevating our personal standards personal bests. Now let's dig into this week and three things that you should stop doing in 2025, three things that hold people back from really achieving their goals and creating the life that they ultimately desire, and the first one is that they don't build enough wins into their day.

Speaker 2:

I'm fascinated by this study that was conducted in 2011 at Harvard Business School and it's from Teresa Amabie. I may have pronounced that wrong, but there's a TED Talk about the progress principle, teresa Amabie, and it talks about what truly motivates humans more than anything, and there was a special focus on the workforce. There was a study of 238 people working at seven different companies across 26 different teams, and they collected journal entries from these people every single day, and their journal entries would contain how did their day go, what were some highlights, what were the things that went well, what were some things that they didn't enjoy or wish they could have done better, what's something that's irking them and they ultimately want to understand through this study what is it that really drives people, so they can extract those results and information and then use that to share with companies all over the US that are seeking to improve their workforce culture, their work environment, improve their teammate performance, and this was really neat. So 12,000 diary entries are collected in this study.

Speaker 2:

That stood out in this TED Talk is there was a software engineer that said the best thing that happened on a particular day is that he fixed a software bug. Now they do this all the time, but he fixed a software bug and it made him feel really, really good, really fulfilled. And he mentioned in his diary entry this seems like probably a little thing to many that all right, you fix the software bug, cool, but that software bug had been bugging his team no pun intended for the whole week. So five days they're going by and this software bug is crushing them. It's killing everyone and he fixes it. Now that one little thing was described as the most fulfilling thing, the best thing that really made him feel good inside, and what they found through these 12,000 entries is that roughly 30% of them so thousands of entries where people shared their best days and what made them feel good it was to go after the big things.

Speaker 2:

So, simply put, by building small wins into your day, by literally manufacturing them into your day, you can almost hack your sense of fulfillment, your good mood, your willingness and motivation. Rather, you can create motivation, because motivation follows action. So by doing little things you can create motivation then to go after the big things. And another thing that's interesting with this study is that when people feel that they're making progress even something as simple as making a check mark on a to-do list that you wrote down you release just as much endorphins from that as you do from a workout. You create just as much endorphins from that as you do from a workout. So what I find is that there are a lot of people that are often dragging their heads or looking down like, oh, I haven't accomplished anything. What if you built small wins into your day? So you're running up the scoreboard? Now I'm going to share the scoreboard analogy that my friend Dante shared with me a few years ago.

Speaker 2:

Many of us that are listening are highly ambitious. Probably have five things going on at once between corporate. Wanting to take your side hustle full time all these things. Wanting to take your side hustle full time, all these things. And we may get upset when every little thing doesn't get done, which is understandable. We want to win and be successful in all facets, and I myself sometimes can get mad. That gosh darn it. I left a dish in the dishwasher Tiniest thing, now, also one of the tiniest wins, too smallest wins.

Speaker 2:

And my friend Dante, I was sharing this with him. He said, well, what's the scoreboard say? And I said, what are you talking about? He said, well, do you do that every single day? I said no, I pretty much always put stuff away, like it's very rare for something not to be put away. He said, all right, well then, as far as I'm concerned, let's just say a seven day week, and the other six days you did put the dish away. The score is six to one. Are you mad about a six to one scoreboard? You know what? I feel pretty darn good about that. So here's how you can run up the scoreboard every day. Here's what I do Every single day, no matter what, even if I'm in a hotel room, which call me crazy for doing this but even if I'm in a hotel room every single day, before I get out of my bed or before I get out of my room.

Speaker 2:

Rather, I make the bed even if I'm in a hotel, before I get out of my room.

Speaker 2:

Rather, I make the bed even if I'm in a hotel because it automatically, within the first few minutes of the morning, I've built a win into my system that, hey, I did something good for me.

Speaker 2:

That makes me feel good.

Speaker 2:

That's now going to carry on into the morning workout or some sort of morning mobility session.

Speaker 2:

Now, 90% of the time I am working out in the morning, I'm going for a run or a weightlifting session, something. But there are days where that doesn't happen and I can beat myself up about it, or I can do the next best thing and I'll do a 10 to 20 minute mobility session where I'm working on my core, moving the body, stretching, stretching out my ligaments, just taking care of myself. So therefore, every morning the score is already two to zero before I leave my house and then I read at least a page of a book and I've already written down my to-do list for that current day, because winning today started yesterday. So really, the score is one to zero, automatically going into the next day because the task list has already been written down. But hear me out, between the task list, making the bed, a mobility session or a workout, and reading a page of a book, then the score is five to zero before even getting in the car and going to work.

Speaker 2:

On the note of talking about things that we can stop doing in 2025 and start doing that will push us forward and push us closer to our goals. I'm going to recommend one of my favorite supplements Magic Mind. I've been talking about this on the show for a while.

Speaker 2:

It's one of my favorite supplements to take in the morning before I start my most difficult task and one that I definitely recommend to add into your arsenal as we approach the new year, and here is an amazing opportunity to start with Magic Mind as we go into 2025. Think about this Are you somebody that?

Five to zero folks. This is how you can build small wins into your day that are going to give you energy, that are going to give you and create motivation to go after the things that you really want. People are motivated by progress more than anything in this life Anything even more than money. People want to know they're making progress. One thing that gets me going this is episode 180.

Speaker 2:

I remember when I first launched this podcast and not many people would listen to it and it's still growing little by little and it didn't really motivate me sometimes when I would look at the amount of downloads and listens and I'm thinking, man, I know that this is quality stuff here, bringing on so amazing guests and what's happening, and then I thought, well, what's a different way to look at it? You know, it's only a matter of time. There will come a day where this is one of the top performing podcasts in the personal development space. I wholeheartedly believe that. And well, I can control how I show up every week. I can control the guests, the interviews, the prep, and I can control the streak, the guests, the interviews, the prep and I can control the streak. So this is now 114 weeks in a row and 180 episodes. In Haven't missed a Monday in 114 weeks. Every time that I mark on my whiteboard the streak that 114, and now we're going to 115, and now we're at 180. I'm already thinking about week number 200. I've got it marked on my calendar on May 5th, that's when episode 200 will come out, unless we up the frequency, which we're not there yet to be at a twice a week podcast, but someday there'll be a day when that comes to. But as of now, may 5th 2025 will be the release of number 200.

Speaker 2:

Every week that I mark off 181 or the streak at 115, that gives me this boost of energy and fulfillment and joy and excitement like you would never believe. And it's just by marking a little thing on a whiteboard Every time that I go for a run and finish a workout and mark how many workouts I've done that year and how many miles I've ran. It gives excitement and fulfillment and joy and also this creates this sense of all right. Yeah, you're doing stuff, man, and it's the tiniest things. So if you're not baking small wins into your day. Yet let this be your call to action to start doing that, and you might even be doing it now and you're not even thinking about it.

Speaker 2:

I hope that most of you are making your beds, but you probably don't look at it. You may not look at it as like, oh, that's a win. I think about, on the other side of this, even if my day goes to absolute hell, that the score is already four to five to nothing before leaving and I can come home to a made bed. Not every day is going to be perfect, guys, and I'm not suggesting that by now doing the inverse of these three things, that everything will just magically be perfect, but I can assure you that things will be far greater and you will push yourself further and harder, because now you're building in this engine that's going to keep you moving forward. So look at how you can build small wins into your day, because people are really motivated by progress and it's really simple. Get a whiteboard, get something that you can track it, start running up the scoreboard and build a winning record in 2025. Rack up those points, baby.

Speaker 2:

Now, number two is that when we think about goals, there are a lot of people I've worked with in the past that will have goals such as they want to lose 20 pounds or one of my favorites on social media they want to reach a million people, 5 million people, 10 million people. Wouldn't that be great? I'm sure we all do. I would love that 1 million people downloaded this exact podcast right now and it's not impossible, but it's not likely in this particular moment. But a lot of people will write down goals that have no meaning to it or they haven't assigned meaning to it yet. Maybe there is some meaning behind it, but it hasn't been connected to the goal.

Speaker 2:

So think about it like this If you assigned yourself something that didn't have some sort of deep meaning to you, do you believe that you will take action and put forth your best effort into it? Probably not. Why? Because there's no real meaning to it. Is it tied to something that's going to help your family? Is it tied to something that's going to help your relationship? Is it tied to your corporate exit plan? Is it tied to your mission and vision and purpose, or is?

Speaker 1:

it just something that sounds cool. I'm thrilled to talk about the Unshakable Discipline Mastermind Group. This has been my baby that I've been working on for the last couple years, and it is now out and available and perfectly timed as we enter the new year. If you are looking to level up in 2025 and be surrounded with more like-minded and ambitious individuals and grow in multiple areas of your life that you deem is most important to you, then this is exactly who we want to have in the Unshakable Discipline Mastermind. This mastermind is all about surrounding yourself with driven individuals who are committed to personal and professional growth, success and excellence, and every week, we have a mastermind session where we learn from some of the best thought leaders, authors and CEOs in the world many who have been on this podcast before. They're going to provide actionable and invaluable insights and strategies and tools to help you achieve your biggest goals, refine your mindset, be more present with your family, excel personally and professionally, and everything in between. Also, on a monthly basis, we host challenges designed to push you out of your comfort zone, help you grow and, ultimately, give back more in the community and be a vessel of service.

Speaker 1:

You also get the Unshakable Discipline course, which is something that I've created over 13 years of practice and research in the domain of personal development and goals and discipline, pushing your body and mind to greater heights than you believed possible. This is my exact playbook that I've been working on since 2011 that you get in a self-paced course. Right now, we're offering membership at 30% off for the first 20 founding members. Go to unshakabledisciplinecom that is, unshake as in milkshake disciplinecom and you can experience the course, be around amazing people, all for a very small investment $67 a month right now and you'll get that locked in for life and have access to the course and any future courses that are developed Unshakabledisciplinecom. I wish to have the opportunity to work with you in the new year. Let's go.

Speaker 2:

The most common one that I hear when I'm working with people. Let's just take the weight loss one, because that's the most common thing that a lot of us probably hear that people want to lose 20 pounds, 30 pounds and if that's you, I applaud you and that's noble and I'm rooting for you. Man or lady gal, I'm rooting for you. Why do you want to lose 20 pounds? And some may say, well, I, I know, I know that's what I need to lose. Okay, maybe, maybe that is what you need to lose. Maybe that's what you want to lose. Maybe that's what you desire. What makes it important to you? What makes it important that you lose 20 pounds? Well, and then this is where people start to really share the why. Okay, well, because I want to be able to run around with my kids in the park and not get tired. Okay, perfect. I want to show my kids that they have a healthy example of what it means to live a healthy lifestyle growing up, and I want to lead the way. Amazing. So there's the real meaning behind the goal. What if we connect it to that versus a number on the scale? Because now, if we're talking about wanting to create more time with your kids, or being able to run around the park with your kids without getting tired. In five minutes. Now we've got something that is going to push that person forward, or at least it should energize them and jack them up a heck of a lot more than I want to lose 20 pounds. The reason why I don't have a goal per se on this podcast. Of course I envision it becoming one of the top personal development podcasts out there and that there is a day where the masses are subscribing to it and listening to it, talking about it, sharing it. The real meaning behind why I do what I do, you know, and not just saying, all right, this is my win today podcast. I love personal development. I want a million people, 10 million people, to listen to it, whatever the case may be.

Speaker 2:

The real meaning behind putting this out here every Monday, week in and week out, is because I myself have come from a household with a longstanding trend of alcoholism and I have found that by committing yourself to personal development and truly building systems that enable you to accomplish your goals, that you can break systemic trends of adversity and ultimately chart a desirable course for life. And by doing this, it also moves me further and further away from ever possibly carrying on the trend that has existed in my family for decades. The trend that has existed in my family for decades, and it gets me closer to becoming the first one, the first one to break it, to chart a new course for the family. And I know that there are millions of people out in this world, in the United States, that are impacted by these sorts of situations in their families and their households. And I also know that it can be difficult, when you go through something like this, to not want to commit to personal development, and you're probably upset at the world and wondering why me? And not recognizing that you've been given one of the best gifts of all time. I often think about people in this situation, in my situation, like I look at it, as hey, I've actually been given an advantage over people that went through a quote, normal life, and I mean that in the best way. What I'm saying is hey was given a chip on the shoulder that now keeps me coming back, hungrier and hungrier every single week. But there's real deep meaning behind this work and that's what keeps me pushing forward, pushing forward, and that's what keeps me coming back, because I recognize that every Monday I have the opportunity to impact at least one life and share a message that at least one person may really need to hear that's going to help them break the trend in building real systems and habits and discipline that will end the generational trauma in their household. So that's one example of creating meaning behind the goals. And the meaning behind again taking even this podcast full time is that I see a real need out there in this world. There are a lot of people that again live their lives as victims to circumstances versus being victors of their past. Being victors of their past and that's. I can't see any other way to living life than by continuing to provide these types of resources and move forward in pursuing my dream of taking this full-time and taking my performance, coaching and the mastermind groups and speaking and podcasting full-time.

Speaker 2:

Make sure that the reason why you're doing things, that you understand why you're doing them or what makes them important. If not, the way I look at it is if you're putting numbers out there just because they sound cool, it's almost like you're pissing in the wind, and I know that may sound a little intense, but really why dedicate time to something that doesn't mean anything or that doesn't have some sort of true meaning assigned to it. The last thing that people should stop doing and that hold themselves back is using limiting language. So here's an experiment, okay, and this one. If you've followed or listened to me for a while, you may already know where I'm going with this. If you're driving, if you're walking, where I'm going with this, if you're driving, if you're walking, whatever the heck you're doing right now, do me a favor Try to put your right hand on your nose. Okay, now, for those of you that have your right hand on your nose right now, please take them off. Or, if you moved them, now, for those of you that actually put your hand on your nose, of you that actually put your hand on your nose, look what you did. You didn't try to do it, you did it. You didn't make it an option. You actually put your hand on your nose.

Speaker 2:

When we think about our goals and the lives that we want to create and the lives that we're pushing forward to create for ourselves, for our families, for our communities, let me ask you this is it optional to you? Is it optional, or are you going to do everything you can to get it done or is it? Is it? Is it necessary? Is it mandatory? Let me throw another one at you for the parents in the room.

Speaker 2:

Think about this If your kid, your son or daughter, I'm sure you probably have a standard set with them that they need to keep their room clean and I wasn't the best at this, but my parents did have a standard and I was often disciplined for it because I wasn't the best at maintaining it. Did have a standard and I was often disciplined for it because I wasn't the best at maintaining it. But think about this If you asked your kid to make their bed in the morning or told them that's their expectation, and they said, mom or dad, I'll try to make my bed tomorrow, what's your response going to be? I can tell you what my response, my parents' responses, would have been no, ryan, you better make that damn bed. There's no trying. You're going to make the damn bed. It's not optional. So why do we use this language? With our goals and what we're working towards, are you going to try to go to the gym three times a week, or are you going to go to the gym three times a week?

Speaker 2:

Here's the amazing power of our brains, and our brains and our minds are so malleable. Basically, what that means is we have a computer upstairs and a computer. You can write new programs all the time, you can reprogram software. Our brains are so malleable that we can rewire them to think and believe in a way that keeps you in an elevated state, and really you can put a supercomputer upstairs, an elite computer upstairs upstairs, an elite computer upstairs. So with that, when you say I'm going to try to work out in the morning, that's not activating your subconscious. It's basically saying all right, maybe I'll work out tomorrow, maybe I won't. When you say I'm going to the gym tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning, what that's telling your subconscious is hey, we've got a task, we've got a mission, we've got something to do and we're going to get up tomorrow and do it Now. Is it going to be easy to wake up in the morning? Sometimes no. Does that mean that just by saying that you're automatically going to do everything? No, but your mind believes that something is going to be done now.

Speaker 2:

Our minds don't know the difference between what's fact and fiction, meaning that the stories that we often tell ourselves, even the things that we say about the things we can't do. I can never run a marathon. I hear that all the time and I typically respond to people yeah, you're right, and it's not because you can't, it's because you said you can't and now you believe you can't. Our words, our language is incredibly powerful. Language is the creator of all things. It's paramount that we remain highly aware of all the things that we are saying outwardly and all the things that we are even saying inside of our minds, because if you say you can't do something, you're telling your mind we can't, and then we're writing a program yep, can't do that thing. Versus if we say we can, or that we've already done that thing, even before we did it, now we're convincing our minds that, oh yeah, we can run a marathon, we can wake up early, we can launch a podcast, we can influence thousands, tens of thousands, millions of people. We can do that, you can do that. You have all of the ability and all of the tools to get it done already. So eliminate limiting language from your vocabulary, from your being. I, I, I irk when I hear people use the word try. Yes, there are things that we are going to set after that we might not accomplish yet or when we want to, but that doesn't mean we're going to give ourselves an option before we actually get it done.

Speaker 2:

One of my favorite resources and books that I've referenced a few times that really, I believe, illustrates this beautifully, is the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and agreement number one, which, by the way, I highly recommend this book, especially in the new year. It's only 140 pages, very quick read. The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word, and basically what that means is one that you honor your word and your commitments, even when nobody else knows about it. And two, that the words we use, that we're creating what he alludes to in the book as white magic, meaning that we're using positive words, that we are using phrases and things that create action and joy. And again, a sense of positivity versus what he also mentions in the book black magic words and I look at the word try and even hope as black magic words because really they're optional or even phrases as phrases, as I have to work out tomorrow, I have to wake up early. That's black magic. You get to wake up early. You get to go to the gym tomorrow. You get to go and influence people. You get to go and lead people. So this white magic and black magic concept with our word, what we're telling ourselves and what we're telling other people is very important.

Speaker 2:

So here's an excerpt that I believe illustrates this very well you can transcend the dream of hell just by making the agreement to be impeccable with your word. Right now, I am planting that seed in your mind. Whether or not the seed grows depends on how fertile your mind is for the seeds of love. It is up to you to make this agreement with yourself. I am impeccable with my word. Nurture this seed and as it grows in your mind, it will generate more seeds of love to replace the seeds of fear. This first agreement will change the kinds of seeds your mind is fertile for. Be impeccable with your word. This is the first agreement that you should make if you want to be free, if you want to be happy, if you want to transcend the level of existence that is hell. It is very powerful.

Speaker 2:

Use the word in the correct way. Use the word to share your love. Use white magic, beginning with yourself. Tell yourself how wonderful you are, how great you are. Tell yourself how much you love yourself. Use the word to break all these teeny, tiny agreements that make you suffer. It is possible. It is possible because I did it and I'm no better than you. No, we are exactly the same. We have the same kind of brain, the same kind of bodies. We are humans. If I was able to break those agreements and create new agreements, then you can do the same. If I can be impeccable with my word, why not you? Just this one agreement can change your whole life.

Speaker 2:

Impeccability of the word can lead you to personal freedom, to huge success and abundance. It can take away all fear and transform it into joy and love. It starts with you. It starts with the things that you're telling yourself. It starts with the words. It starts with the phrases that you speak out, that you put into your mind. These are things that, again, even your words, the simplest things, when not used properly, can be the deciding factor if you're actually going to make progress and move on the goal that you're working towards.

Speaker 2:

One word, one phrase Treat yourself with kindness and respect. You have all the tools. You are capable. There's no difference between me and you. Even, as just mentioned there in the book, there's no difference between the author and the reader. We possess so much power and capability. Let's treat ourselves with kindness in 2025. And let's become impeccable with our work. Let's become impeccable with developing meaning behind our goals. Let's become impeccable with building wins into the day. Let's become impeccable in 2025. That may be a good word for somebody listening that hasn't thought of their word yet. Become impeccable and let's win today. Thanks so much for tuning in.
