Be 100% FACTUAL.
It's the easiest life hack that can change everything.
- If you're fat, admit you're fat
- If you're broke, admit you're broke
Now you've got a REAL starting pint to work from.
All hat, no cattle - perfect term for coaches with many team members but not enough revenue generated to support them and the biz.
Opinions are like a**holes - everyone's got one and most stink.
____ is dead, ____ is THE biz strategy for 2025, You MUST do ____ to succeed. <-- likely all b.s.

"You're just ONE funnel away bro" 🤮
Nope - if your funnel is a complicated piece of sh*t, you're many funnels away.
Your guru posturing that they’ve got their sh*t together might be the same guru laying off their team. Don’t beleive everything you see on social media.
Every year my wife @SheenaLMurphy and I lock ourselves into a hotel room or a resort for a couple of days.
We look at our prior year.
We dream about our upcoming year.
Some of it is frustrating.
Most of it is inspiring.
All of it is necessary.
It has us dig into our excuses.
It's led to us breaking through barriers.
The process evolves every year and it leads to us evolving rather than simply accepting what is.
Also...we're not perfect.
This year I forgot my deodorant :-|
I hope your 2025 kicks ass.
Ours will.
