The Version That Got You Here Isn't the Version That's Going to Get You There

Ready for a year that doesn’t wait for permission? We break down the “big leap” into five moves you can actually execute: identity awareness, smart subtraction, an environment upgrade, decisive action, and microhabits that stick. If you’ve felt the drag of burnout, stalled markets, or the hangover of easy post‑COVID wins, this conversation turns vague motivation into a repeatable system for change.

We start by naming the parts of you that belong in your future—and the parts that must stay in the past. That clarity powers subtraction: fewer anchors, fewer fears, fewer time sinks. Then we dig into the engine of lasting change: your environment. Rooms set ceilings, and the people you spend the most time with calibrate your standards. When you upgrade your circle, your baseline rises faster than discipline alone ever could. From there, we push for action bias. Move before you feel ready, fail fast, and use short, reversible steps to convert ideas into momentum. Think “get the bus rolling” first, optimize second.

Finally, we anchor the leap with microhabits: tight social media limits, protected green time, daily identity check‑ins, and one metric that proves momentum. Reinvention isn’t one decision; it’s a thousand small ones aligned with where you’re going. If you’re craving a clear path to make 2026 your breakout year, this is your playbook to choose better rooms, release old loyalties, and build the next version of you one step at a time.

If this sparked something, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s ready to upgrade their room, and leave a quick review telling us the first anchor you’ll subtract.

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:00.880
Say that again.

00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:06.559
Your environment will upgrade you much, much faster than discipline ever will.

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:17.440
This is a secret sauce podcast with Chad Trees and Lacey Moore's, where we want to help people build big businesses and live big lives.

00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:24.000
We think every episode's gonna maybe give you one ingredient that you could add to your recipe to create your own secret sauce.

00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:25.519
Let's get into it.

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:31.839
Let me ask you something.

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.320
Have you ever had a moment where you realized the version that got you here isn't the version that's going to get you there?

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:39.280
That's the big leap.

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:44.719
And 2026 is the year people either step into it or stay stuck wondering why nothing changes.

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.359
Welcome back to the Secret Sauce podcast.

00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.679
Today we're talking about the big leap, how to make the big leap going into 2026.

00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.320
Or maybe you're listening, this it probably is 2026.

00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:00.000
There's still time, but how do we make some big changes that make 2026 one of the best years ever?

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:00.799
I love it.

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:09.599
I think I think we could all agree from an industry whole and not even just um real estate and mortgage, but I mean, bigger picture than that.

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:10.959
People are tired.

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.560
People are stuck.

00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:13.439
Burn out.

00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:14.719
People are burnt out.

00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.040
People are tired of waiting for this market to pass.

00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.439
Like all you know, all of the things.

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.439
Some people need to really change.

00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:28.799
Some people like are still stuck in the right after COVID days where things got pretty easy, right?

00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.519
And they and um not just mentally, but they need to they need to get going, right?

00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.040
They need they need to make some big changes.

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.400
And so that's kind of what this episode, wherever you're at in the journey there.

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:44.159
Uh, if you relate to any of that, if you're feeling a little stuck, if you need to make some big changes, uh, I think this is gonna be a great episode.

00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:45.519
It's gonna be a quick hitter.

00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.959
Uh, I think we've got five, five key points that we want to make.

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:56.719
So we're gonna break this down real quick, but we think there's five things that can help do that for you, make that that are gonna make a big leap in 2026.

00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.879
Number one is identity awareness.

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.159
So self-awareness, probably a healthy dose of self-awareness.

00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:10.319
Basically, we got to figure out you got to know which version of you is trying to grow because not everything needs to change, probably, but there's probably something that maybe is holding you back.

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.439
Well, I love that.

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:18.479
I think you know, one of the key parts, and this this kind of really hit me square in the face is in the eyes, in the face, whatever.

00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:19.360
All right, how was that closed?

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:20.400
Yes are part of your face.

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:27.919
Name the parts that belong in the future, the parts of you that belong in the future, and name the parts that need to stay in the past.

00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:28.639
Yeah.

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.840
I think that's that's a that's a great way to put it, right?

00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:32.400
Yeah.

00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:40.800
Um, and it's gonna take it's gonna take probably a little bit of checking your ego at the door as you go through that that exercise, but you got to be honest with yourself.

00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.599
Like what is working, what's not working, and what's worth taking into 2026 and beyond.

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:46.000
Yeah.

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:46.319
Right.

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.280
It's this is just a going to to jot down, right?

00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:50.319
Like I love that.

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.479
I in my brain, I'm already thinking on the left side's gonna be things I want to take with me.

00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.120
On the right side, I want to things I want to leave in the past.

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.879
And just traits, like things I do, things the way I think.

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.680
I mean, all of those things, my mind's already blown up on what would go on both sides of that.

00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.639
That's such a good, good breakdown of identity awareness.

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:09.120
Yeah.

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:16.879
I mean, I I think, I believe, I'm very confident that you can't become the next version of yourself if you're still loyal to the old one.

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.080
So here we are building the next version of ourselves.

00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:21.360
Gotta leave something behind.

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:21.840
That's right.

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:22.639
Okay.

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.560
And that brings us to point number two, right?

00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.520
Number two after is identity awareness, is one.

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:28.879
Number two is subtraction.

00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.039
And that's exactly what Lacey just mentioned.

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:32.879
Great foreshadowing there, Lacey.

00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:33.280
Sorry.

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.599
No, it was an awesome segue uh into number two.

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.199
So yeah, reinvention starts with removing what blocks you, right?

00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.840
So um, what does that mean to you, Lacey?

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.560
Well, there's some definitely things that hold me back or mindsets that hold me back.

00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:52.719
Or I mean, what it says to me specifically right now is I am wrestling, and you and I've had some talks about that.

00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.000
About I don't want to become lazy.

00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:56.560
Right.

00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:06.159
You know, and and as long as I've been doing this and and I still love it, um, I'm still very passionate about but what I do, but I don't, I'm, I'm afraid to become lazy.

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.840
And so I gotta break that down into where's that coming from?

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.120
Because I've always been kind of a crackhead and and have gone hard for a very long time.

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.759
But what part of that do I want to take with me?

00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.360
Because there's some good things about that.

00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.360
And what do I want to leave behind?

00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.800
And where is that part coming from?

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.720
And where's the fine line between complacency and contentment?

00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:27.759
Contentment.

00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.079
I have studied that for a year and a half now.

00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.439
You got any advice?

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.680
No, I mean I think that yes, I do.

00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.040
Complacent is scary.

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.560
Complacent means that that's where lazy, where you're gonna walk that line into lazyhood real fast.

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.000
Lazyhood, I love that.

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:42.800
It's a new phrase.

00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:43.120
Yeah.

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:43.360
Yeah.

00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:44.079
Is it not a word?

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.959
I think it's laziness, but uh it's a lazyism that I love.

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.160
I like the hood.

00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:49.199
The lazy hood.

00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.399
I don't want to be part of the hood.

00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:50.639
Yeah.

00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.000
Um, but the other side of that is contentment.

00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.800
And this is beautiful when you start studying it.

00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:02.000
I mean, but it's really tough to live in contentment because it feels lazy sometimes.

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:02.560
Yes.

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.959
So that's the that's that journey I've been on is is defining what really is lazy and what's really, you know, being content.

00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:14.800
Um, but content is is loving exactly where you're at and who you are and what you have now.

00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:15.199
Yeah.

00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.639
You know, and being really thankful for it.

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:22.639
So it is, but I do want to leave behind the that feeling of I'm gonna become lazy.

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.160
So I've got to dive into that.

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.240
But that would be a subtraction for me for sure.

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:26.879
Awesome.

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.600
Best quote for that the future that you want is hiding under the things that you're afraid to release.

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.759
So figuring out what you can release, yeah.

00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.079
I mean, I think for me it's uh fear, like being afraid of anything.

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.120
Like even 23 years of doing this at a super high level.

00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:53.199
If anybody can relate, I mean everybody can relate, I'm sure, is I still have days I wake up that I'm afraid that things are it's gonna come crashing down, or I'm afraid that this person won't like me, or what happens if I, you know, ask for this and I get told no, right?

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:59.759
Yeah, that's such such a stupid way to live because like living in fear is gonna keep me from the life that I want, right?

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.519
Well, most people don't care if they see that.

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.079
Most people don't need more, they just need fewer anchors.

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:04.800
Yeah, right.

00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.079
And and what you just said there were anchors, right?

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.279
That are that's holding me down.

00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:10.240
That are pulling you down.

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:11.199
Yeah, not just holding you.

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:12.240
I mean, they're pulling you.

00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:13.759
Yeah, yep, absolutely.

00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.079
It's a ball on chains keeping me there.

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:16.480
Yep.

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.560
All right, so let's move on to number three.

00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.319
Uh, so again, just to recap, we've got number one, identity awareness.

00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.759
Then once you've made aware of it, we'd got to do some subtraction.

00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:26.560
That's number two.

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.199
Number three, an environment upgrade.

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.720
I think this one is huge.

00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.560
It uh this is not just for this year, this is every day of every year.

00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.399
We all know it.

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.959
We're the sum of the people that we hang around the most, we're the average of the five people we hang around the most.

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:47.600
I mean, that's a I mean, I don't know if that's statistically like I don't know if you can back that up with actual science, but I think it's very, very true.

00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.560
Well, your ceiling, I mean, your rooms determine your ceilings.

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.879
What are all the cliches that we could say about this?

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.920
I love the flying with chickens or eagles, or what's that one?

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:57.839
That one's one of my favorite, but I mess it up.

00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:05.519
Yeah, uh you gotta soar, uh soaring with eagles, uh, but you can't soar with chickens or something like that.

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:06.240
I don't know.

00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:07.519
Uh I know what you're talking about.

00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:08.959
Yeah, so that's me.

00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.639
I always mess them up, but this is exactly what it, you know, what you think about.

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.920
Like if you're you're gonna hang around a bunch of chickens, you're gonna be a chicken.

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:16.240
Right.

00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:16.480
Right?

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.040
You're gonna hang around a bunch of eagles, you're gonna soar.

00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:20.800
And it is about that.

00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:27.439
And sometimes it doesn't mean you can't have people like that that are your friends, but it really is who are you spending your most time with.

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:33.199
And and that can be inside of your company, that can be inside of your team, that can be inside of any of it.

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.040
Being your personal life definitely flows into work life.

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:42.720
If you're around a bunch of people in your personal life that aren't driven, that don't lift you up.

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.560
I mean, they're gonna, they're gonna be an anchor for you.

00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:45.279
They're gonna pull you down.

00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:45.839
Yeah, right.

00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:46.240
For sure.

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.120
Um, so you gotta, I mean, you gotta limit your time with those people.

00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:54.399
Uh, you know, I think uh your environment will definitely upgrade you a whole lot faster than discipline.

00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:55.759
Well, say that again.

00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:01.120
Your environment will upgrade you much, much faster than discipline ever will.

00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.000
I think that's important because I am disciplined, right?

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.560
Like I have always been a disciplined person.

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.560
And that is such a true statement.

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:13.759
So when when you're struggling and you're really good at discipline, like check your environment.

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.680
Well, your ceiling becomes different too.

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.319
Like discipline has all sorts of forms, right?

00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.600
You are can you would be considered discipline at a very, very high level.

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:26.079
Other people would say, Oh, I'm very disciplined, but you're disciplined for your the group that you hang around with.

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.240
People are look at you and they're like, Man, you're so disciplined.

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:29.680
There are people that are more disciplined than you.

00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:30.079
Oh, yeah.

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.360
I just gotta get in a different room.

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:31.680
Right.

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:32.000
Yeah.

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.000
You don't ever want to be the smartest person in the room.

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.159
If you're if you are, you should get into a different room.

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:36.559
Yeah.

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.320
That is you're upgrading your environment.

00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:38.720
That is.

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.440
So I mean, it's re we all have to sit and think about am I where am I at in that room?

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:44.480
And do I need a new room?

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:44.799
Yeah.

00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.320
And you gotta figure out what rooms you need to get into, and you gotta figure out how to get into those rooms.

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:48.559
Yep.

00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:49.919
And most of it's just being bold.

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.519
Yeah, you know, you can get into those rooms.

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.840
It doesn't take a secret key uh or anything.

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.440
You gotta be bold enough to ask.

00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.240
Absolutely.

00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.679
And look and research.

00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:58.159
I love it.

00:08:58.320 --> 00:08:58.639
All right.

00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.720
Four decisiveness and action and an action bias.

00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.120
So we now we've like discovered all these things, but we've got to actually do something about it, right?

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:07.919
Big leap.

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:09.759
People move before they feel ready.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.399
They fail fast, they just go.

00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:19.120
Uh, some of the most successful people in the history of the world, most of the most successful people in the history of the world were not afraid to fail.

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.039
And they would just go and try things.

00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:26.240
And a lot of the a lot of the rest of the human race is scared.

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:27.279
What if I fail?

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.960
And the real successful people are not scared if they fail.

00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.279
They don't they actually welcome failure because it means they can move on to their next thing.

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.879
So if you're gonna fail, fail fast.

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.519
But you've got to go make a decision and you've got to go after it.

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.039
Or fail forward, right?

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:41.360
Yeah.

00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.720
Like at the second you fail, you find out what was wrong and you can you can fix it.

00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.559
You can't fix anything if you don't fail.

00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:47.039
Right.

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:48.559
Momentum over perfection.

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.000
Yeah, it's it's so good.

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.320
And I think so many people get stuck in it's gotta be perfect before I do it.

00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.000
It's gotta be perfect before I start it.

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.600
And they don't they sit in Stuckville forever.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.639
No doubt.

00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:01.200
Yeah.

00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:02.799
And we've all been there.

00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:03.200
All right.

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:03.759
Yeah.

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:04.240
Yeah.

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:15.840
But when we're we're at our best, we're moving and we're making decisions, we're moving and shaking, and we're deciding what rooms we need to be in, and we're getting in those rooms, and that's when your energy is the highest, and that's when you just feel like you're like on fire, right?

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.559
Is when you're making fast decisions and you're just going after it.

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.039
The one that this just I just have to share it really fast because it always pops up in my brain.

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.120
And this is just one chapter of a book.

00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.080
And the chapter was called Get the Bus Rollin'.

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.039
And that's just I that's what I tell myself every time, just get the bus rolling.

00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:45.120
And the chapter real fast is they were interviewing these big guys that can pull them big old semis a distance and how much training and how hard and what all they gotta do.

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.039
They put these harnesses on to be able to pull these semis just like a man.

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:49.519
Yeah.

00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.960
And he said, you know, the the most important piece is just to get the bus rolling.

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.480
You can't spend your time pre like thinking about all that.

00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.720
You just gotta get it moving.

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.919
Because once you get it moving, that's when momentum builds and all the other things become so much easier.

00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:06.320
Right.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:11.679
So all the concentration has to be focused on just getting it started, not a perfect product.

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.279
Yeah, it's a perfect metaphor for this.

00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:14.159
That's so good.

00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.080
And it's so good with for everything.

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.519
Like you just gotta get it started because then you can make it better.

00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.240
But if you wait to get it started, you're never gonna do it.

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:30.240
But and also the science behind that is in is incredible too, because getting the for the bus, for them to get that, that is the most effort.

00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:30.559
Yep.

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:30.960
Right?

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.480
That is the hardest thing that they do.

00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.120
We're not not recognizing the fact that that is very difficult.

00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:42.000
It is the most difficult thing to do is to get the bus moving or to get the ball rolling because it takes the most energy, right?

00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.320
But once you do, everything becomes easier.

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.440
Uh it is that momentum kicks in, right?

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.279
So yeah, I I love that.

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.279
Last one, we're gonna wrap this up quick.

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:53.440
Uh is gonna come from microhabits.

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:58.240
So we're talking about identity shifts through like tiny, tiny detail actions, right?

00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.279
So yeah, exactly.

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.679
Do you have any like do you have an example of that for you?

00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:07.360
I just think it's important, like it's not one big decision, but it's little things at a time.

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.919
Um, when we talk about microhabits, it is okay, you know what?

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.399
I spend way too much time on social media, right?

00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.200
So boom, I'm I will not do that anymore.

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.039
I will spend 20 minutes a day.

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:24.639
I will make sure my phone shuts off after 20 minutes, I will shut an alarm, I will, whatever it is.

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.000
But right there, it's a habit that you're going to create because of a decision that you made.

00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:31.840
And that's small, but it's not.

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.720
And those little bases have to be on everything.

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:46.240
If you're in sales and you need to spend an hour a day, or let's cut it even shorter, 20 minutes a day in green time, then you need to come up with these little changes and microhabits so that it gets done.

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:47.840
Start small and just do it.

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:48.320
Yeah.

00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.679
And if you and if you didn't get it done the day before, it's not the end of the world.

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.840
Another 24 hour starts the next day.

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:54.080
Yep.

00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.080
Make the little changes that you need to make.

00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:02.159
You're not gonna do, you're not gonna become the perfect version of yourself in 2026 from yesterday to today.

00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:10.960
It's gonna happen over the course of the year as long as you're making you get the bus rolling first and then you're making these little micro changes, creating little micro habits, right?

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.240
That every day starts over and you're going at it again.

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:14.639
Yes.

00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:15.200
I love that.

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:15.679
That's important.

00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.399
Quote that I found on that quote: reinvention isn't one big decision, it's a thousand small ones.

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:34.639
But as long as those thousand small ones are moving you in the direction that you want to move, or at least the sum of the parts are moving you, you're not every decision you make is not going to move you towards that perfect version of yourself or that next version of yourself, because there is probably no perfect version, but there's always a next one.

00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:35.039
Yep.

00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:35.440
Right.

00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:45.200
And if the sum of the parts, if if there's more we're making more decisions that are moving you towards that than are moving you in the opposite direction or keeping you grounded where you're at, then you are moving towards reinvention.

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.399
Yeah, it's good.

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:46.960
Okay.

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:47.519
Let's go.

00:13:47.600 --> 00:14:07.600
Uh just to we don't need to go into detail, but just to rehash what they were identity awareness, then subtracting what's not working, getting an environment upgrade, getting around more people that are going to keep you in that space, and then getting just moving into decisiveness and taking action, and then little microhabits every day that keep you moving in that right direction.

00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.519
So to close us out, your big leap won't happen when everything is ready.

00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.919
It'll happen when you decide you are.

00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.679
The future that you're chasing is already in motion.

00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.519
Just go meet it.

00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.120
Oh, just go meet it.

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.080
Just go meet it.

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:22.559
It's there.

00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:23.440
We just gotta go.

00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:24.559
Thank you guys for listening.

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.840
I hope 2026 is your best year ever.

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:28.960
It's gonna be our best.

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.159
Yeah, we'll see you next time.

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:30.960
Thanks so much, guys.
