You’ve Broken Your New Year’s Resolution Already

If you haven’t made the changes you want to make in your life, what makes you think that an arbitrary date in the calendar will make any difference?

And quite frankly, how do you intend to stick with your changes for 365 days? What’s your plan?

I don’t make resolutions every year. Instead, I break my year down into 100-day chunks. I set the intention for the next 100 days, and I review whether I’ve hit my goals for the previous 100. And then I see where I can do better in the future.

I call this living 100 days at a time. And anyone can do this.

When you live 100 days at a time, you will expand and grow exponentially. When you give yourself a deadline that is doable instead of procrastinating, you get shit done.

Here is what you must do to compound time instead of making new year’s resolutions:

Breaking Free from the Comfort Zone: Lessons from Abraham’s Story

In this powerful episode, of Mastering the EDGE Mindset, I react to a video from Dr. Jordan Peterson about the transformative journey of stepping out of the comfort zone to live a purpose-driven life. Peterson discusses the biblical story of Abraham, and how he left behind a comfortable life at the age of 74 to heed the call of adventure.
Through Peterson’s vivid storytelling and my practical wisdom, we both illustrate how sacrifice is a necessary step in transformation and how aligning with purpose can generate energy, productivity, and fulfillment. I, like Abraham, have heard the “divine whisper” calling us to something greater. The key to creating a meaningful and impactful life to listen to the call, especially when you’re comfortable, because comfortable is the worst place to be for a leader. The video dives deep into the themes of sacrifice, adventure, and legacy, offering profound insights for entrepreneurs, high achievers, and anyone seeking to break free from stagnation.

What You Can Do To Save Your Marriage?

On this episode of God, Money & Purpose, Raul and Vivian Villacis discuss what their takeaway was from the interview that Oprah did with Prince Harry and Dutchess Meghan. As a quick refresher, Meghan, formerly an actress, is American and bi-racial, which caused a lot of conflict between Harry and the rest of the royal family. Harry, who had to grow up without his mother, Princess Diana, decided that the best way to protect his family was to cut ties with the royal family and live a relatively private life. The two had to essentially start their lives over, with each other for support.
Having control of your money is a form of emotional fitness.

Being able to make intelligent decisions with money, rather than be impulsive, or ignore purchases that “don’t count” means you have that emotional fitness.

When you have two people who mix their finances, it can quickly create tension if you aren’t on the same page about money, or don’t know where the money is going at the end of the month.
