You Can’t Skip Levels (2375)

from Next Level University Hosted by Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros

What happens when you try to grow faster than your foundation can support? In this episode, Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why so many people get stuck trying to jump ahead in self-improvement. Based on their own journey, years of coaching, and thousands of episodes, they explore what happens when you chase advanced strategies before mastering the basics. The result is usually frustration, inconsistency, and slower progress than expected. This conversation will shift how you think about growth, goals, and what it actually takes to build momentum that lasts. If you want real progress, you need a foundation strong enough to hold it. Hit play and check the level you’re really building from. _______________________ Learn more about: Book Alan’s Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.
