In this episode, Dr. Swagger shares tips to help you finish strong and start stronger.
What was it that you set out to do at the beginning of the year, at the beginning of a contract, or project? Review those goals and understand and determine if those goals are still valuable to you.
It could have been a weight loss goal, you could set a monetary goal, you could set a fitness goal. Getting you where you really need to be is how you end the game. How you play the game determines if you get to go to the next level of the game.
So first, look at your goals and prioritize them to make sure that they're still important at the level that they were important when you set them. And then to take an inventory of how you're using your resources to accomplish those goals.
Tune in to hear the strategies Dr. Swagger uses to build success in her work and for her clients.

After six years, she left teaching, found design mentors and launched her business, Gray Area Designs.
Itâs commonly advised that you should never give up. And, thatâs great advice, but when you recognize your purpose and passion can impact more people you have to trust your gut and run with it. In this episode, Amber encourages us to follow our passion and run with our strengths. Whatever your gift, leverage that skill. If youâre creative, use that to your advantage.

I always recall my junior high school journalism teacher challenging us on grammar and content for what we selected to include in the yearbook. He said, âOne day this book will be the reflection of your work and the documentation of your classmates dreams so make sure you use good, better, best.â His words stayed with me but, at the time I didnât realize they were more than a grammar lesson from a funny old man.
Most people look back on their life and wonder what they could have accomplished if theyâd only been more decisive and committed. You can avoid that kind of regret by choosing to become the best at the thing that brings you joy. Ask yourself, what do you want to master? How can you turn you good into your best?
Your greatest potential will involve one of more of your strengths. That is, the thing youâre good at. Most strengths can be applied to any endeavor with a focused approach. Mastery requires commitment. Itâs the commitment to develop yourself, overcome obstacles, and to put in the necessary time. Itâs not just about effort and skill. Itâs about being intentional with time and focusing on successfully reaching the goal.
In this episode, I share real and practical tips to help you along the journey of living your good, better, best life.
