Who You Are Drives What You Create

Welcome back to the Be More Lobster podcast! In this episode, I dive deep into the real starting point for creating change—not by doing something different, but by being someone different. I share my personal 5S Formula for personal transformation, which is foundational for achieving results more quickly, with more fun, and less stress.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeWhy "be someone different" is more powerful than "do something different" and how your current self creates your current results.The 5S Formula for personal transformation:Space: Why you must create space—physically, mentally, emotionally—before bringing in something new and what you might need to let go of.Schedule: How scheduling freedom and values into your life gives you more control and focus.Support: The power of asking for help, getting the right emotional, practical, and coaching support, and how doing so changed my own life and relationships.Standards: Raising your standards for yourself, your relationships, your business, and your well-being to drive change.Self-Concept: The importance of who you are being—how your beliefs about yourself influence everything you do and achieve.I use the analogy of a circle with three triangles (space, schedule, support) surrounded by further rings (standards and self-concept) to illustrate how these elements interplay and lead to deep transformation.Key TakeawaysWho you are being informs what you are able to create.Lasting change comes from shifting your self-concept and raising your standards—not just adjusting your actions.Creating space and scheduling intentionally aren’t restrictive—they’re liberating.Support is vital, and it’s powerful to both ask for and offer it.Your business outcomes are a direct extension of your personal growth.Next EpisodeStay tuned for next week, where I’ll explore why working towards a result might actually be backward thinking.I'd love to hear what resonated most with you in this session!
