Summary

Failure isn’t a moral verdict—it’s data. And if you don’t track it, you’ll keep reliving the same patterns on repeat.What you’ll learn in this video:• How to use a daily “Where did I fail today?” review without self-criticism• Why tracking mistakes helps you spot patterns faster (and change them)• How dopamine habits (games, social media, scrolling) can quietly derail your day• A simple 7-day experiment to refine your routine and improve follow-through• How to treat failure like feedback instead of a personal flawMost people don’t actually have a discipline problem—they have a pattern-recognition problem. If you keep starting your mornings the same way, reaching for the same easy dopamine, or repeating the same “small” decisions that snowball, you’ll keep getting the same outcomes. In this episode, I break down a practice I’ve used for years with myself and with clients: write down where you failed today, then look at it with zero condemnation. Just information. That’s how you figure out what’s not working—and what to change next.Real change doesn’t come from beating yourself up. It comes from noticing the pattern and choosing a better one tomorrow.Subscribe for more practical tools and honest conversations about growth, clarity, and momentum.

The Business of Boutique Fitness Lise Kuecker I'm Lise Kuecker, a long time Studio Owner turned founder here at Studio Grow. Just a few years ago, I was building my studios the hard way cause I didn't have the team, the budget, or most importantly the time. If you speed up to today, I sold my wildly profitable studios in the mid-7 figures while serving my community in ways I could have only dreamed. Now, I work with thousands of boutique fitness studio owners in over 40 countries and am so blessed to share some of the best tested strategies for our industry every single week. I created this podcast so you'd always have clear, actionable processes, tried and tested Facebook advice and some good ole fashioned inspiration so that you can take simple actionable steps to grow your studio and turn it into a powerhouse empire, just like I did. If you're a studio owner who's ready to impact your community and see major growth in the process, or you're prepping to become one, then you are in the right place. So let's kick this off, s Science of Being Well, The by Wallace D. Wattles (1860 - 1911) LibriVox If you are seeking better health and ways to stay well…This book is for you! Wallace D. Wattles was an American author and a pioneer success new thought movement writer. His most famous work and first book is a book called The Science of Getting Rich in which he explains how to get rich. Additionally, In the Science of Getting Well, Wattles suggests the reader to think and ACT in a Certain Way. As with his first book, Wattles explains in simple concepts the keys to Getting Well. With faith and discipline, Wattles suggests you can stay well. Says Wattles “for those who want health, and who want a practical guide and handbook, not a philosophical treatise. It is an instructor in the use of the universal Principle of Life, and my effort has been to explain the way in so plain and simple a fashion that the reader, though he may have given no previous study to New Thought or metaphysics, may readily follow it to perfect health”. (Summary by Jill Preston, Wikipedia and book Preface “Scienc The Modern Agile Show Joshua Kerievsky Over the past decade, innovative companies, software industry thought leaders and lean/agile pioneers have discovered simpler, sturdier, more streamlined ways to be agile. These modern approaches share a focus on producing exceptional outcomes and growing an outstanding culture. Today, it makes far more sense to bypass antiquated agility in favor of modern approaches. Modern agile methods are defined by four guiding principles: Make People Awesome; Make Safety a Prerequisite; Experiment and Learn Rapidly and Deliver Value Continuously. World famous organizations like Google, Amazon, AirBnB, Etsy and others are living proof of the power of these four principles. However, you don’t need to be a name brand company to leverage modern agile wisdom. “Light Up Your Life” Arti Various topics about health, wellness, simple ways to live will be explored. Concepts and issues across the life span will also be explored.
