Why Your Biggest Breakthrough Comes Right After Your Hardest Season

How are you? Come on in here. Good to have you. Happy, happy Monday. Nice to have you. Come on in. I'm not here today. It's a podcast, obviously. It's not here, but I'm at Dollywood.

My niece got married. We went to Pigeon Forge for the weekend. So today I am looking at all the young'uns ride the roller coasters because I ain't going to ride them. Kind of aged out of that a long time ago.

You know what I mean? So where are you in your life right now? Where are you? What's going on? Are you in a spot where it's like, oh, man, it's kind of a hard season?

Trying to figure it out? A lot of that going around right now. It's been a crazy few years. And with AI and everything else, people feel that way. They're lost a bit.

But I know something. I know that when you get through these tough seasons... You weather the storm, breakthroughs arrive if you lean into them. And we'll talk about that today, some science behind how that happens.

It is the Daily Boost from MotivationToMove.com. The positive boost you need every single day to make that jump, to take control of your business and your life. That's really what drives me. That's exactly what I do.

I walk my talk, I promise you. I get out of bed every single day and I'm like, okay, I'm going to do it my way. And there's a price to pay to do it your way, always. If you demand freedom, if you demand to do the things you love to do, if you demand to make a great living on top of it and have the financial resources to do what you want to do, there's a price to pay.

There's no doubt about it. But the freedom you get is just amazing. So I don't know if you're there. That's what I do. And that's what I want you to do as well.

If you're frustrated, if you're lost, if you're looking for a second act, a lot of people are. It's like, man, what do I do now? I just had a career. I just got fired.

What? Where do I start? If you don't know that stuff, I did something for you. I created FaceYourPassion.com. And the countdown is on. If you're ready to break free, you need to join my group.

The Founders Special goes away this week. My lane is to help you when you're frustrated, you're lost, help you figure stuff out. Okay, that's it. Last chance.

Founders special ends this Sunday, October 18th at 12 midnight. After that, the price doubles and we move on. So go to faceyourpassion.com. Check it out.

Jump in. If you don't like it, money back guarantee. I promise I'm not going to make you do something you don't want to do. Okay. But I think you might be surprised.

I do. Let's talk about that, uh, that crazy stuff called ick. Yeah. Don't you have it? I mean, it doesn't really matter. I get out of bed every single day at 545.

I get on with my day and I genuinely have really good weeks. I mean, I don't have a whole lot to complain about. I'll ask my wife. I do. I mean, because I play full out.

So I run into stuff all day and I deal with people's problems. I'm right in the middle of people's muck all the time. But generally speaking, man, life is pretty good. And I want you to be that way as well.

But I want to talk about something called quantum change. Now, you have heard me chat about this before, but I want to see if you're in this position, if you're actually in a quantum change place right now, or maybe you're still just kind of figuring stuff out, all right?

But a quantum change may be something that will not leave you. So let me explain what a quantum change is. There's a lot of science behind this. Essentially, what it is is a sudden deep shift in who you are and what matters to you.

It isn't gradual. It's not like, well, let's hang out and do some personal growth stuff. No, it's one day. That's it. I'm done. It's a before and after moment.

Now, you may be there right now. You may have heard this, I'm done, I'm out of here. Maybe you've decided to leave a job, leave a marriage. I don't know what it is.

You've decided something must change. You ain't going backwards anymore. Now, a lot of people get there, but they don't do anything about it. I think if we can build up a little bit of self-esteem, show you a little bit of a path, then you'll see what you can do.

But make no mistake. If you have arrived with a quantum change where you have simply said, suddenly, overnight, that's it, done, not going to do it anymore.

Now, what are you going to do about it? Well, let's talk about this for a second, okay? Now, this is real. There's real science behind this. It has been studied.

Researchers have looked at it. It's not a fluke. Dozens and dozens and dozens of people, hundreds and millions of people have probably gone through this. Dozens.

What am I talking about? It's like everybody goes through this from time to time, right? The pattern was really consistent, enough that we can actually tell you how it works. Now, there are always like four requirements, four things that happen.

There's one big one that is in the fifth position that always goes down. So let me go through these for you and see if maybe this makes sense to you. And maybe you can see exactly where you are. And if you are, you'll know you're actually in a season of change.

You're not just going to figure it out. You actually literally have to make a change, okay? In fact, you already have. Number one, it's very vivid. You know something's happening.

You're not wondering. You're not thinking. You know it. Something's different. Something has to change. You know it. It's distinct. It's memorable. It's not vague in any way.

You lose sleep over it. You don't know what to do next probably, but you just know, yeah, I've changed. Think about the times in your life when you've done that, and it's happened a lot. It could have been a job.

It could have been a relationship, just about anything, but very vivid. It's true. It's real. And it's scary, by the way. I'll toss that one on top of that, okay?

Now, number two, if you're in a quantum change environment right now, it's surprising. You didn't plan on it. You didn't schedule it. It kind of showed up uninvited.

Yeah, maybe you had some frustration. Maybe you're trying to find your way for a while. Maybe things haven't been perfect for a while. But you're kind of surprised.

Suddenly you feel this way. It's like, really? And people around you, by the way, are surprised as well because I've seen this so many times on my clients. They just find themselves in a place where like, okay, whatever happened 10 years for the last 10 years, I don't care anymore.

People like what you can't change. It's surprising to you and everybody around you. So it's very vivid. You know it to be real. It's very surprising. A third requirement of a quantum change.

It's benevolent. It feels like something good happening to you. Often there's a sense of peace and relief. A lot of folks that I work with, one of the reasons I put faceyourfashion.com together is because this is where they arrive.

They literally have gone through vivid, surprising, and they're like, man, I don't know. I just feel good about it. I feel good it's time to make a change. I just don't know what to do.

That's really what happens here. So maybe you're there. I don't know. And it's going to be kind of odd. I mean, how can you be so peaceful in such disruption?

Remember that word, disruption. It's coming back at you. Next, number four. Remember, I said it's vivid, surprising, benevolent, and enduring. It sticks.

It doesn't go away. You never go back. It happens in small ways and big ways. One way to think about this is if you had a million problems that happened to you, a million things that just ground into you, it could be anything.

I mean, somebody could have died in your family and you're just done grieving. You could have had a bad job for 10 years. Could have been just about anything. But there's been like a million things, a little cuts every single day.

And you're like, I'm done. I'm over. I'm moving on. That's that. And it endures. You don't want it anymore. You don't know what's next, but you're going that way, not that way.

I can always tell, by the way, when it's happening to people. I've had tens of thousands of conversations. I've done this show 20 years. I've done this job 30 years.

I can tell when it's happening. It's like I'm clairvoyant here. Or maybe wise sometimes. Occasionally. On Mondays, I'm wise. What happens to get this going?

I told you it's vivid, right? It's surprising. It's benevolent. It's enduring. In other words, like something happened to me. Well, usually it's disruptive.

In almost every case, I'm going to say like 100% really, that's almost right. Every case pops up after a period of a lot of stress, strain, loss, and yeah, feeling stuck and feeling frustrated.

The disruption is the setup. It's not a problem. And whenever we're disrupted, whenever we're feeling like things are just kind of out of balance, we don't have our peaceful base that I like to build and face your passion.

We feel like, oh, my God, things are so bad. But the disruption is the key. If you can wrap your head around that, that disruption is the thing you want. Listen, I've done this so long now.

And I'll work with people for months and months and months, and I pray for disruption. I pray for something to blow up in their face. And I really mean that in the best possible way. I will often say you will change when you wear yourself out.

And boy, you guys are, you're gluttons for punishment sometimes. When all this has happened, when it's vivid, when it's surprising, when it's benevolent, when it's enduring, and something has disrupted you, you know you can't go backwards. Why won't you go forward?

Why? Well, because it's scary. You haven't been there before. Even if you waited your whole life to go do it, this is what I've always wanted to do. And now you're finally at the place where you can and you can't seem to move because it's scary.

Your identity is stuck in one place, but I have some magic for you. You're in what we call an identity shift. And what that means is when you had that disruptive feeling, when you went through a quantum change, who you are,

Yeah. A lot of folks are over at FaceYourPassion.com. Come join me. Get that Founders special. Let me talk to you directly. We have a call every Thursday where you and I work together live.

Yeah, pretty cool. I'll see you tomorrow right here on The Daily Boost.
