Episode 1215 – Success Starts Here: Habits to Transform Your Life and Your Business
Start with What You Can Give Up
In this podcast episode, Mike Campion and Suzanne Bandick share insights into building success habits. Suzanne opens by flipping the script—success isn’t just about adding positive behaviors; it’s also about letting go of what doesn’t serve you. She highlights key things to give up, like excuses, negative self-talk, and time-wasting habits. Suzanne emphasizes that being aware of these behaviors is the first step. Without awareness, harmful patterns remain invisible and unchallenged.
Mindset Meets Action
The hosts stress the vital combination of mindset and action for success. Suzanne shares that 80% of success is mindset, while only 20% is execution. Mike elaborates that even the most perfectly crafted plan will falter if negative beliefs hold you back. Conversely, a strong belief in your abilities can propel you through failures, making resilience a cornerstone of success.
Set Yourself Up for Success
Simple habits, like waking up on time and crafting a personalized morning routine, can transform your day. Suzanne suggests starting your morning with intentional practices such as journaling, yoga, or reading. Mike adds that these routines should serve your unique goals—whether it’s five minutes or an hour, it’s about what aligns with your lifestyle and priorities.
Disconnect to Reconnect
Social media and constant notifications can derail productivity and self-esteem. Suzanne advises avoiding social media first thing in the morning. Instead, focus on centering yourself. Mike encourages listeners to create more than they consume, emphasizing intentionality with digital habits. Limiting distractions can help you start the day with clarity and purpose.
Celebrate Your Progress
The episode concludes with a reminder to focus on how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. Reflecting on past achievements can shift your perspective from frustration to gratitude. Whether it’s a minor win or a major milestone, celebrating your progress builds momentum for the journey ahead. Success isn’t just about reaching goals; it’s about appreciating the steps along the way.
