Stoicism has helped me become the person I am today, striving, but content. Calm in the present, and not anxious about the future. Noticing anger in others is a flaw within themselves as opposed to a disservice you did. Stoicism encourages people to focus on what they can control and accept what they cannot. In this episode I talk about how to apply it to the 21st century.

Starting something is always confusing... You don't know where to start and what to expect. This is normal. However, in this episode, we talk about four common mistakes people make when starting something new and how to avoid it. as someone who has done a lot of things and internalize the process and how to get over barriers I have found a lot of similarities and overlap when it comes to mistakes and problems in a new endeavor.
What You Will Learn:
1. The Pitfall of Overplanning:
In this segment, we discuss the common mistake of overplanning and how it can lead to paralysis by analysis. You'll learn how to find the balance between planning and action, ensuring you make steady progress without getting stuck in the planning phase. We'll explore techniques to create flexible plans that allow for adjustments along the way and emphasize the importance of taking action even when conditions aren't perfect.
2. Underestimating the Importance of Mindset:
Starting something new requires the right mindset. We’ll explore how a negative or fixed mindset can hinder your progress and lead to early burnout. You’ll learn strategies to cultivate a positive, growth-oriented mindset that embraces challenges and views failures as learning opportunities. This section will also cover practical tips to maintain motivation and resilience when faced with setbacks.
3. Neglecting to Seek Feedback:
Many people make the mistake of not seeking feedback early on in their journey. We’ll discuss the benefits of obtaining constructive feedback and how it can accelerate your growth and improve your results. You’ll learn how to identify valuable sources of feedback, ask the right questions, and incorporate feedback into your process without losing sight of your vision.

Your mindset significantly impacts your ability to succeed in any new endeavor. A negative or fixed mindset can lead to self-doubt, fear of failure, and early burnout. Cultivating a positive, growth-oriented mindset is crucial for overcoming challenges and maintaining motivation.
Embrace a growth mindset by viewing challenges as opportunities for growth rather than threats. Understand that setbacks and failures are part of the learning process. When you encounter obstacles, ask yourself, "What can I learn from this experience?" and "How can I use this to improve?" This perspective shift will help you stay motivated and focused on continuous improvement.
Maintain motivation by setting meaningful and inspiring goals. Connect your goals to your values and passions, and remind yourself regularly why you started this journey.

AT 57: Starting something new can be very exciting because it may be a sign of change in your life. However, keeping something going and staying consistent with your motivation and discipline can be one of the hardest things… Trust me I learned this the hard way. In today's episode I breakdown three ways to stay motivated when starting something new.
What You Will Learn:
1. Setting Clear and Achievable Goals:
In this section, we discuss the importance of setting clear and achievable goals to maintain motivation. You'll learn how to break down large, overwhelming tasks into smaller, manageable steps. By doing so, you'll experience a sense of accomplishment with each completed step, keeping you motivated to continue. We’ll also cover how to prioritize your goals and set deadlines to ensure steady progress.
2. Creating a Supportive Environment:
Staying motivated is easier when you have a supportive environment. We'll explore strategies to build a network of supportive friends, family, and mentors who can provide encouragement and accountability. You’ll learn how to seek out communities and groups with similar interests to share your journey and gain inspiration from others. Additionally, we'll talk about the importance of eliminating distractions and creating a physical space that fosters focus and productivity.
3. Developing Consistent Habits and Routines:
Consistency is key to maintaining motivation. In this segment, we’ll dive into the science of habit formation and how to develop routines that align with your goals. You’ll learn about the power of small, daily actions and how they can compound over time to produce significant results. We’ll also discuss techniques to track your progress and celebrate your successes, no matter how small, to keep your motivation high.
Setting Clear and Achievable Goals:When embarking on a new journey, it’s essential to have a roadmap. Setting clear and achievable goals not only gives you direction but also keeps you focused and motivated. To begin, start by defining what success looks like for you. What do you want to achieve? Be specific and detailed. Instead of saying, "I want to get fit," aim for "I want to run a 5K in three months."
Next, break down your main goal into smaller, actionable steps. This technique, often referred to as "chunking," makes large tasks more manageable and less daunting. For instance, if your goal is to run a 5K, your smaller steps might include:
Week 1: Walk 15 minutes a day Week 2: Walk 10 minutes and run 5 minutes Week 3: Walk 5 minutes and run 10 minutes Week 4: Run 15 minutes continuouslyBy accomplishing these smaller steps, you’ll build confidence and momentum. It’s also crucial to set deadlines for each step. Deadlines create a sense of urgency and help you stay on track. Use tools like calendars, planners, or goal-setting apps to keep your deadlines visible and remind yourself of your commitments.
Creating a Supportive Environment:Your environment plays a significant role in your motivation levels. Surrounding yourself with positivity and support can make all the difference. Start by building a network of people who uplift and encourage you. Share your goals with trusted friends, family members, or mentors who can offer guidance and hold you accountable.
Additionally, seek out communities or groups that share your interests. Whether it’s an online forum, a local club, or a social media group, being part of a community provides a sense of belonging and shared purpose. You’ll find inspiration in others' successes and receive support during challenging times.

AT 56: This episode focuses on the quote "You don't have to be great to start, but you must start to be great" -Zig Ziglar
What You Will Learn:
1. Overcoming Perfectionism and Procrastination:
In this segment, we delve into the concept of perfectionism and its impact on starting new endeavors. You'll learn practical strategies to overcome the fear of not being perfect from the beginning. By embracing the idea that progress is more important than perfection, you'll gain the confidence to take the first steps towards your goals. We’ll also discuss techniques to combat procrastination and build momentum, ensuring that you begin your journey towards greatness.
2. Building Confidence and Self-Efficacy:
Confidence plays a crucial role in achieving greatness. We’ll explore how starting small actions can lead to increased confidence and self-efficacy over time. You’ll discover ways to set achievable milestones and celebrate your progress, reinforcing your belief in your ability to succeed. Additionally, we’ll discuss the importance of positive self-talk and visualization techniques in boosting confidence and maintaining motivation throughout your journey.
3. Cultivating a Growth Mindset:
Adopting a growth mindset is essential for continuous improvement and eventual greatness. We’ll examine the principles of a growth mindset, including the willingness to learn from failures and setbacks. You’ll learn strategies to reframe challenges as opportunities for growth and develop resilience in the face of adversity. By fostering a mindset focused on learning and development, you’ll pave the way for sustained progress and achievement.
Overcoming Perfectionism and Procrastination:
Perfectionism often paralyzes us from taking action. We set high standards for ourselves and fear starting unless we can guarantee flawless results. However, this mindset can prevent us from making any progress at all. The key is to shift your perspective from perfection to progress.
Understand that every journey begins with a single step. Instead of aiming for perfection from the outset, focus on taking consistent, imperfect action. Break down your goals into smaller, manageable tasks and tackle them one at a time. This approach not only reduces overwhelm but also builds momentum as you see tangible results.
To combat procrastination, employ strategies such as the "two-minute rule" or the Pomodoro Technique. The two-minute rule encourages you to start a task with just two minutes of effort, which often leads to continued action once you've overcome the initial resistance. The Pomodoro Technique involves working in focused intervals (typically 25 minutes) followed by short breaks, helping you maintain productivity without burning out.
Building Confidence and Self-Efficacy:
Confidence grows with each small achievement. Start by setting achievable goals that push you slightly outside your comfort zone. These goals should be specific, measurable, and realistic. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, to reinforce your belief in your abilities.
Developing self-efficacy, or belief in your ability to achieve specific goals, is crucial for sustaining motivation. Set clear milestones along your journey and track your progress to see how far you've come. Surround yourself with supportive individuals who encourage your growth and provide constructive feedback. Their belief in you can bolster your own confidence and determination.
