Did you know our brains compare instinctively? Meaning it's often not even a conscious choice we make, it just happens.

After coaching 1000s of people & helping them change their lives it felt fitting on episode #200 to share just how simple this is when we get to the root cause. And that’s what this episode is: The #1 most important thing, the one thing you need to do in order to change your life. So often we think we just need to do more, prioritise better or be more disciplined… But this is all surface level, it never addresses the root cause of why that isn’t working long term & what *really* needs to change.

If our goal is to become a published author then we want to identify as a writer. When we focus on WHO we need to be, the actions automatically follow. Our identity is one of our most valuable assets. When we change the way we see ourselves, we change our behaviours.
