The Truth for This Episode

Today we walk up the stairs, turn left, and stop at a door that's been locked for a long time for some of us. Room 3 is the Family room — and this one is different. For some it's the best room in the house. For others it's the most painful. Today Mario meets every listener exactly where they are and leaves everyone with one challenge: open the door.

The 7 Family Questions — Score Yourself 1 to 10

I feel emotionally connected to the important people in my family
I prioritize quality time with my family consistently
I communicate openly and honestly with my family members
I feel supported by my family in my personal goals and challenges
I actively work to resolve conflict and maintain healthy relationships
I show appreciation and express love to my family regularly
My family relationships contribute positively to my overall well-being

A special Father's Day episode. Mario sits down with friends Dan Martinez and Salvador "Sal" Hernandez — fathers, mentors, and men who've each walked very different paths to fatherhood — for an honest, unscripted conversation about what it really means to show up, be present, and rewrite the script your own father may have handed you.

Whether you grew up with a father who was always there, one who worked himself into the ground to provide, or no father at all — this episode is for you. And if you've lost a child or lost a father, this one holds space for you too.

In This Episode

Growing up with (and without) present fathers — and how it shaped each of their parenting styles
The difference between showing up and being truly present
Learning each child's love language — because no two kids need the same thing
Letting go of what "providing" really means
The biggest challenge each father faces today, from fear to learning to meet each kid where they're at
Why community and asking for help isn't optional for men — it's necessary
The line that gave this episode its name: rewrite the script

We're back in the estate. Last week we took our first step in the Health room. This week we walk up the stairs and turn right into Room 2 — the Finance room. Mario gets personal about his own wound with money, challenges every listener to face what they've been avoiding, and leaves everyone with one practical wall to start renovating this week.

The 7 Finance Questions — Score Yourself 1 to 10

I have a clear understanding of my current financial situation
I consistently manage my money with intention — budgeting, tracking, planning
I feel confident in my ability to support myself financially
My spending reflects my values and priorities
I am actively building savings, investments, or financial security
I regularly think about and plan for my financial future
I intentionally invest time and energy into improving my finances

This Week's Action Challenge - Pick 1 Wall

Step 1 — Just look: Open your banking app. No judgment. Just awareness.
Step 2 — Know your numbers: Write down what came in and went out this month.
Step 3 — Pick one question: Is it smart to spend this? Am I saving? Do I know where my money is going?

One thing. Done consistently. That's how renovation begins.

We're inside the estate now. Last week you got the blueprint — this week we walk through the front door and turn left into the first room. The Health room. It's not about abs or marathons. It's about showing up for yourself so you can show up for everyone and everything you were made for. One room. One action. Let's get to work.

The 7 Health Questions — Score Yourself 1 to 10

I consistently move my body in ways that support my health
I eat in a way that supports my energy and long-term well-being
I prioritize sleep and recovery
I manage stress in a healthy and effective way
I am aware of and responsive to my body's signals
I intentionally invest time and energy into my health
My daily habits reflect the level of health I want

Ask yourself: What would make your health a 10? Write it down — that's your north star for this room.

This Week's Action Challenge

Pick ONE thing you will do every single day this week for your health. Not a full overhaul — just one wall.

Walk 20 minutes a day
Drink more water
Sleep by 10pm
Put your phone down 1 hour before bed

One thing. Done consistently. That's how renovation begins.

In this powerful episode of the Made for More Podcast, we sit down with Nicole Krieg, former Baylor volleyball standout and Club Director of Texas Fury Volleyball. From being a high school freshman who didn’t even know what volleyball was to becoming a four-year starter at Baylor and now leading one of the most impactful volleyball clubs in Texas, Nicole shares her incredible journey of faith, resilience, leadership, and growth.

We dive into:

The recruiting process and what athletes (and parents) should really expect
The mental and emotional challenges of college athletics
Why developing the whole athlete — physically, mentally, and spiritually — matters more than wins
How Texas Fury creates a culture of character, courage, and Christ-centered leadership
The importance of speaking potential over young athletes
What it means to build something bigger than a sport

This conversation is about more than volleyball. It’s about identity, influence, and creating environments where young people are empowered to grow beyond the game.

If you’re a parent, coach, athlete, or leader — this episode will challenge you to think bigger about the impact you’re making.

New Year emotions fade, gyms empty out, and goals get quiet. This episode is your reminder: goals don’t carry you—habits do.
We live by the principle: “We don’t rise to the level of our goals; we fall to the level of our habits.” (inspired by James Clear’s systems idea).

We break down two practical habits to win in 2026:

Scheduling: create routines that reinforce discipline, protect freedom, and help you say no to short-term distractions.
Prioritizing: ditch the myth of “balance” and replace it with focus + intentional action—so you reduce stress, lower anxiety, and know your next step.

Action steps:
Use a calendar, plan your week ahead, review your day daily, and start with one bite at a time.

In this episode of the Made4More Podcast, we continue our breakdown of Endure by Cameron Hanes, focusing on the first three chapters of the “Prey” section:

Life is Suffering
Pushing Above Average
Diving Into a Deep Hole

We explore how adversity can shape us without defining us, why measurables matter when it comes to personal growth, and how confidence is built through consistent effort—not comfort.

This conversation challenges listeners to eliminate excuses, examine their routines, and stop living in fear-based “what ifs.” Instead, we ask the better question: What if it works? If you’re ready to raise the bar, push past average, and build a life you won’t look back on with regret, this episode is for you.

This episode explores how our internal world mirrors what we give attention to, just like an algorithm. Using relatable examples—from Instagram feeds to Spotify Wrapped—you’ll learn how your thoughts, emotions, and habits multiply based on your daily focus.

We offer a guided reflection to help you identify:

What your inner algorithm has been learning
What patterns you’ve been reinforcing
What you actually want to grow going forward

You’ll walk away with a simple four-step framework to redirect your focus and elevate your personal growth:
NOTICE your patterns, STOP what isn’t serving you, FOCUS on who you want to become, and REPEAT small actions daily.

This episode serves as a reminder that personal development is a choice we make every day—and that we each have the power to grow what matters most.

In this Thanksgiving week mini-episode, we take a powerful pause to ask one transformative question: “What lesson am I thankful for this year?”

Mario challenges us to rethink how we interpret the experiences of the past year — especially the difficult ones. Instead of slipping into resentment, bitterness, or victim mentality, this episode invites you to reframe your challenges through the lens of resilience, growth, and gratitude.

Listen in as we explore how the lessons we often resist are the very moments that shape us, stretch us, and strengthen us. From personal stories to guided reflection questions, this episode offers a simple but meaningful challenge for Thanksgiving week:
Reflect on the moments that humbled you, stretched you, and taught you something you didn’t know you needed — and choose to be thankful for the wisdom they gave you.

A short, heartfelt reminder that growth begins when we shift our focus from “Why did this happen to me?” to “What did this teach me?”
Perfect for your drive home, your walk, or a quiet moment before time with family.

Remember — We EXIST for more, we’re here to OFFER more, don't EVER give up, every single one of us are Made4More.

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, host Mario Morales sits down with dance coaches Kelly Mabry and Lindy Hanson to explore what it really means to launch people, not limit them. From their early days learning discipline through dance to the lessons that came from failure, faith, and fierce perseverance, Kelly and Lindy share how they build confidence and character in the next generation.

You’ll hear stories of the teachers who shaped them, the struggles that made them stronger, and the faith that guides how they coach today. They talk about what it means to pour from a full cup, how to see obstacles as opportunities, and why leadership is about more than titles—it’s about influence.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or leader in any field, this episode will remind you that every challenge is a chance to grow, and that the best leaders don’t hold people back—they launch them into purpose.

We’ve all heard it—“You just need better balance.” But what if balance isn’t the answer at all? What if constantly chasing balance is actually what’s draining you, burning you out, and leaving you feeling overwhelmed and stuck?

In this episode of the Made4More Podcast, we’re challenging the myth of balance and leaning into something far more powerful: prioritization. Mario walks us through what it means to stop juggling everything equally and start living with intention—putting first things first, managing our energy instead of just our time, and choosing what matters most when it matters most.

Whether you’re a leader, a parent, a business owner, or someone just trying to keep your head above water, this episode will encourage you to stop operating on empty, let go of unrealistic expectations, and step into a life of clarity and purpose. You’ll learn how to identify your “Big 3” for the week, protect your energy hours, and even create your own “stop doing” list—because not everything deserves your time.

This isn’t just about productivity—it’s about personal growth, leadership, and living a life that reflects your values.

So if you’re tired of being “busy” and ready to live with intention, this one’s for you.

In this episode of the M4M Podcast, we explore powerful lessons from The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday—focusing on the discipline of the will, the importance of preparing for trials before they hit, and the strength that comes from accepting what we can’t control.

We unpack how figures like Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt endured hardship by cultivating resilience from within, and how our response—not our circumstances—defines our growth. From learning to master emotional responses to practicing the “premortem” mindset in leadership, this episode is a call to lead with intention and humility.

Whether you're facing a personal challenge, leading a team, or just trying to grow day by day, this conversation reminds us: Life won’t stop coming—but neither should we. It’s not about what happens to us, but what we’re building in response.

Are you building or breaking your will?
Are your emotions in the driver’s seat—or your vision?
Are you preparing for life’s trials or simply reacting to them?
Are you trying to force something that’s not your gift?
How do you respond when control slips from your hands?

Made4More & What How We Can Help

In this episode of the Made4More Podcast, we dive into one of the most impactful lessons from the book we’re working through: learning how to use obstacles to our advantage, rather than letting them define or defeat us. Drawing from powerful examples like Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Arthur Ashe, we break down what it means to meet adversity not with aggression, but with composure, clarity, and action.

We explore the dichotomy of stepping back vs. pushing through, the discipline required to pause, and the importance of leading from a place of growth—not ego. From stripped screws to leadership failures, it’s all about self-awareness, humility, and shifting perspective to seize the offensive in life and leadership.

WAYS WE HELP

Topic: Mastering Objectivity & Perspective

In this episode, we dive into the importance of practicing objectivity, altering our perspective, and focusing on what we can control when facing obstacles.

🔹 Practicing Objectivity – We often exaggerate challenges or celebrations, letting emotions take over. Training our minds to pause, assess, and respond instead of reacting can shift our approach to obstacles.

🔹 Altering Perspective – Just like Pericles’ sailors panicked at an eclipse, we often fear what we don’t understand. By zooming out, we realize many challenges are manageable. Viktor Frankl’s wisdom reminds us that we have the power to change our mindset at any moment.

🔹 Is It Up to You? – Even with a 1% chance, effort matters. The story of Tommy John teaches us resilience—if there’s a chance, we fight. Controlling our attitude, perspective, and effort gives us the best shot at success.

Key Takeaways:
✔ Don’t give obstacles more power than they deserve.
✔ See things for what they truly are.
✔ Control what you can control.
✔ Keep trying—adjust your approach if needed.

Tune in for a powerful conversation on overcoming fear, embracing growth, and taking control of your mindset!

“Choose not to be harmed – and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed – and you haven’t been.” – Marcus Aurelius

In this episode, we continue our discussion on perception and the power we hold in every situation—no matter our position, title, career, or background. Too often, we allow problems to appear bigger than they are, forgetting that we always have a choice in how we respond.

We break down the dangers of blame culture and the role social media plays in shaping our emotions. Are we feeding negativity and allowing it to control us? Or are we taking ownership and choosing to rise above it?

We also dive into nerve control, the importance of staying calm under pressure, and the leadership challenge of setting the tone for those around us. As leaders—whether in our careers, families, or personal lives—our ability to detach, respond with clarity, and steady our emotions makes all the difference.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Perception is power—how we see a situation determines how we handle it
✅ Ownership matters—blaming others keeps us stuck, but taking responsibility sets us free
✅ Calmness breeds calm—panic is contagious, but so is self-control
✅ Detach and reflect—don't let emotions hijack your decisions

Action Steps:
🔹 Step back, take a breath, and assess before reacting
🔹 Own your response—no excuses, no blaming
🔹 Work daily to become a better leader, parent, and human

My mission in life is simple: to leave people better than I found them—whether it’s through a conversation, a message, or this podcast. At Made4More, we’re passionate about helping every person take ownership of their life and growth.

Life looks different for all of us, but one thing remains true: we can all make the choice to grow and move forward, no matter where we are. Growth starts with us—because as every great leader knows, we can’t pour from an empty cup.

If you’d like to learn more about our coaching, speaking engagements, podcast episodes, or upcoming classes, visit us at www.made4moreconsulting.com.

And remember: you are made for more. We exist for more. We’re here to offer more. So don’t ever give up, because every single one of us is made4more.

Today Mario shares with us the next book for the podcast. The book is The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday.
- You can purchase it HERE.

What if we learn that in life our way through life is going THROUGH the obstacles and not around. Not backing down because of fear. What if we learn that life is going to give us all we need by going THROUGH and not around? What if the key to life is going THROUGH and not around?

This book is going to challenge each of us to rethink the way we see obstacles and will challenge us to own our response along with our attitude.

The Obstacle Is The Way.

Welcome to 2025! This year, we want to challenge the way we approach goal-setting and shaping our outlook for the future.

Instead of focusing solely on what you want to achieve or how you’ll get there, we’re inviting you to dive deeper and consider two transformative questions:

Why are you pursuing your goals? What’s driving you?
Even more importantly: Who do you want to become? Who do you want to be by the end of 2025?

When we prioritize the second question, every action we take can align with the person we’re striving to become.

Make 2025 your most intentional and fulfilling year yet by starting with this powerful shift in perspective. Let’s discover the best version of you—together!

Remember, we EXIST for more, we are here to OFFER more, don't EVER GIVE UP, every single one of us are Made4More.

In the final episode of the year, Mario and Jamie issue the challenge for 2025 - Choose Growth.

In the final episode of the year, Mario and Jamie invite you to embrace the challenge of 2025: Choose Growth.

Life will bring its share of challenges, triumphs, decisions, setbacks, failures, and opportunities. Through it all, the choice remains ours: to grow or to stay stagnant.

Growth begins when we step into consistency and leave complacency behind. Both will knock at our door—it's up to us to decide which one we welcome.

As 2025 approaches, the challenge is clear. It's not easy, but it is simple: Choose Growth.

Remember we exist for more, we are here to offer more, don't ever give up, every single one of us are Made4More.

Last week we discussed communication, and you can listen to that episode here.
Episode 161

In this episode we are discussing the importance of decentralized leadership. If you want to see leadership die along with your influence, keep all the leadership to yourself, and make it all about you. "My way or the highway," is the type of leadership that will bury you.

Today's episode starts a series of talks called The Leadership Graveyard, where leadership goes to die.

WLC SIGN UP

This is the first of many episodes on leadership that we must learn from or else our influence along with our leadership will be led to the graveyard to die.

Mario has his good friend Dan Martinez on the podcast to discuss the first topic...Communication.

Communication is the foundation of trust and trust builds everything else on top of that.

Take a listen to how we can bring LIFE back into our lives by adding communication skills and ideas.

Episode 160 is all about a posture of GRATITUDE as a leader.

Today's episode was prompted by a quote that Mario came across.
"Gratitude turns what we have, into enough."

From this quick quote we are challenging ourselves to position our lives in a place of being someone who is thankful. Thankful for what we do have, not for what we don't have.

There are 5 easy ways Mario talks about that can make us ungrateful.

Comparison
Keep a record and list of your sacrifices
Embrace entitlement
Grow complacent in growth
Obsess over the things we don't have

Take a listen to the episode to hear HOW we can build a heart and lifestyle of Gratitude.

This book is based after his commencement speech he gave at the University of Texas in 2014. To hear & watch the speech click HERE.

We titling it, Avoiding the Weight of Regret, because the 2 chapters we are covering deal highly with RISK, CHALLENGES, & BULLIES.

Chpt 6: You Must Dare Greatly
Chpt 7: Stand Up To The Bullies

These two chapters offer us a challenge to take RISKS. Without risk we will never have a reward. Without risk we will never know what could have been. Without risk we face a life without change.

Without risk, we live life with the weight of REGRET.

We want to live a life of risk, and responsibility.

Made4More Challenge

Talk to people, get to know them before you measure them or judge them. The minute you look at someone this week, challenge yourself to go talk to them instead of measuring them by what you see.

Does life happening have you in a ditch? Are you dejected or depressed because the results do not match your expectations?
- Remember that life happens to all of us. It does not make it easier or say that what you’re going through does not matter.
- It’s what we are going to do with where we are at.
  - Not getting the results we want - What do we need to change or think differently about.
  - What actions do we need to start taking?
  - Who can we talk to that has done what we are trying to do.

Mind Shift #9: You Find What You Are
Mind Shift #10: Be Average(At Almost Everything)
These two mind shifts combine to be a very powerful conversation in regards to growth and leadership.

Join Etiana & Mario as they challenge us to look at our lives differently and the people we lead differently.

We want to remember that in our life, we can either launch people into a better place or we can force them to land. We want to be about launching.

Remember we Exist for more, we are here to Offer more, don't ever give up, every single one of us are Made4More.

In episode 140 of our podcast Mario & Etiana discuss Mind Shift #8 of the book by Erwin McManus called Mind Shift.

Mind Shift #8 - BITTERNESS, AND OTHER POISONS THAT WILL KILL YOU
If we do not get rid of the bitterness that is within, we will not be able to live up to our potential in life because we are constantly stuck in the past, present, or future.

“...bitterness is not an emotion you are designed to carry. Bitterness is your soul’s way of letting you know that you are out of alignment.”

Here are a few questions we like to ask ourselves when it comes to bitterness.

Who do I need to forgive?
Who has wronged me that I need to release?
Am I not moving forward because I am angry or upset with someone?

Keep in mind that FORGIVING someone does not mean what they did to us is okay , or that we are brushing it under the rug. Forgiveness is our act of moving on and taking a step towards growth.

Bitterness is hard to let go, but your growth is more important than holding a grudge!

In this episode, Mario, Jamie, and Etiana discuss Mind Shift #7: NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.This is from the book Mind Shift by Erwin McManus. If you haven't purchased the book you can do so HERE.

No One Knows What They Are Doing has some amazing insights on doing things, starting things, even though we are scared. We never will learn if we don't start.

Fear will creep in anytime we start something new. Maybe it's a new challenge. a new venture, a new business, a new goal. We learned that a friend of ours said, Do It Scared.

This is a great quote for us to move forward with and remember as we launch into new ventures. Do It Scared! We Got This!

We EXIST for more, we're here to OFFER more, don't EVER give up, every single one of us is Made4More.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday and we are discussing the fact that talent will only take us so far.

Today we are on Mind Shift#6: Talent is a Hallucinogen
No matter how talented we are, is it enough to push us into success or do we also need hard work? How does hard work and talent coexist and create the best outcome?

IF you could go back and tell your younger self about talent and hard work, what would you tell yourself? What key areas would you want to focus on?

Thanks for listening and we will be back next week!

Today we continue our walk through the book Mind Shift by Erwin McManus. Our chapter today is Mind Shift #5 You Are Your Own Ceiling.

Jocko's GOOD video is HERE.

Our own ceiling is determined by our past, fears, doubts, and insecurities.

Questions to ask ourselves this week.
* What story are we telling ourselves when it comes to our ceiling? + We typically believe in others more than we believe in ourselves. * Is there an area of our life, where we are playing the blame game? + How can we begin taking ownership and walking towards responsibility for our response and lives. * Have we set the ceiling low because of our fear, doubt, or insecurities? + What can you do you this week to move the dial 1%?

We want to encourage you, no matter what circumstance, no matter what is going on, don't give up. Keep going!

Remember we EXIST for more, we are here to OFFER more, don't ever GIVE UP, every single one of us is Made4More.

In this episode Mario is continuing the conversation from the book
MindShift by Erwin McManus. If you have not yet purchased the book, you can do so by clicking HERE.

Today we are talking MindShift # 4: They Won't Get It Until You Do It.

What happens if we lead from fear rather than courage?
What happens if we never take a risk?
What happens if we choose to land instead of launch?

We are all made with unique skills, talents, and abilities and if we never CHOOSE to use them, then how do we ...
Leave a legacy for our loved ones to follow?
Help others lead from their own uniqueness?
* Expect to live a life fulfilled?

Leading from the front means we must take the leap, make the plunge, accept the challenge. And the audience or the crowd must take a back seat. Success may take YEARS to show up, but when you look back, you will see the years of work, development, and progress you own. You own it, no one else does.

In today's episode Mario & Jay Mayo discuss Mind Shift # 3 - You Can't Take Everyone With You.

This is the third podcast covering the book Mind Shift by Erwin McManus. If you have not purchased the book you can purchase it HERE.

Today we are challenged to have courage leading when not everyone goes with us.

Jay & Mario discuss seasons of time when people lead with you, go with you, and leave and go from you.

This does not mean you are a bad leader, maybe they are ready to launch into their own adventure. As a leader are we launching others into their future or are we dragging them into ours?

Let us know what you think and remember we EXIST for more, we are here to OFFER more, don't EVER give up, every SINGLE one of us is Made4More.

In today's episode Mario & Jay continue with Erwin McManus' book Mind Shift.

MindShift #2: You Don't Need An Audience

Today we are discussing the distraction the audience. Anything that we do that has an audience tied to it, can bring success, praise, and a boost in our ego. If we are not careful we begin relying on the audience and looking to the audience for approval.

The work we put in must be...
1. Consistent
2. Focused
3. For our development & not others approval

Excellence is created through practice and is done with the purpose of preparing our lives for our big moment. Even if that big moment does not happen in our timing, we must continue to prepare and remind ourselves...We Don't Need An Audience.

Remember we EXIST for more, we are here to OFFER more, don't ever GIVE UP, every single one of us is Made4More.

Today we step into the first MindShift. It’s All About People.We are working through the book called Mind Shift by Erwin McManus.

We are challenged in this episode to make life count. The way we make it count is to prioritize relationships. We can lose our job, change our careers, lose a car, but WHO walks with us is far more important than those things.

Material things and experiences will never take the place of relationships.

Remember we exist for more, we’re here to offer more, don’t ever give up, every single one of us is MADE4MORE.

Tonight the Made4More team begins the book, Mind Shift by Erwin McManus.

If you would like to purchase the book & support the podcast you can buy the book HERE.

Tonight we start by discussing:
Mind Shift # 0 - Change Your Mind.

A few key questions from today's podcast are here...
1. What would you tell your younger self when it comes to changing your mind?

Do you need to currently change your mind and they way you believe about yourself?
Do you need to put in harder work each day? Could you work harder?

If we are going to pursue life with everything we have, with everything we can, we must change our minds to pursue it with all that we are.

In this episode we are covering chapter 15-18.
15. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
16. When In Doubt, Overload
17. Can You Stand Before The Long Green Table
18. Always Have A Swim Buddy.

It is easy as leaders to think we are alone, when in reality that is a simple choice. Just like it is a choice to open up and talk about something, it is a choice to walk through life alone. Yes, we may have fears and challenges talking to others, but leading alone is a choice.

We have people around us that want to be a part of something bigger and when we serve them and make them better, they will make us better. But yet again, it is a CHOICE.

Make the choice this week to be team driven and to have a swim buddy.

Let's just face it, there are going to be times that we just aren't feeling it. But what can we PREPARE for and PLAN for?

Today we discuss why we brush up against this feeling and what we can do about it!

Own that you're in THAT spot
Know it's going to take work

Today Jay Mayo & Mario talk about what happens when the podcast mics are turned off.

This is a different kind of podcast that will challenges the way we think about the traditional "church" gathering.

Why are we having this discussion? After years of being in the ministry, Mario & Jay have began to challenge each other leading individuals outside the walls of the church. Is there a different way to approach leading people and reaching people.

We understand that this discussion will challenge our way of thinking of something so traditional, but if traditional is not working anymore, then what do we need to change? Same Message, different approach!

Today Mario is wrapping up our book The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle.

Building leadership and personal development is KEY when leading organizations and teams. Today we talk about the 3rd section of this book...ESTABLISH PURPOSE.

The Culture Code is broken into 3 sections

Build Safety
Share Vulnerability

Today we welcome back Jay Mayo!

Jay is a great friend of ours and is the founder of Epic Warrior Foundation & Epic Warrior Podcast. (Give them a follow on Instagram and Apple Podcast)

Today Mario & Jay begin a conversation of how easy it is to get discouraged when things don't look as we thought they would. Pursing our dreams and goals will never look the way we thought they would but it does not mean we have to give up!

Continue to pursue regardless of what others will see on the outside and how they perceive you. We don't always fit the mold.

Don't Give Up. Stay moving forward.

Remember we exist for more, we are here to offer more, don't ever give up, every single one of us is Made4More.

Today we are looking at the Road To Self Discovery.

There is not a single person on this planet that is made to merely exist. We are made to pursue our purpose. Potential reminds us of this every single day, but potential does not make us move. We must make the choice to move, to take action.

2 Words That We Discuss In Our Pursuit of Purpose
- Self Imposed
- Self Inflicted

Find out how these 2 words differ and what we need to do to move forward with our purpose.

Remember we exist for more, we are here to offer more, every single one of us is Made4More.

How Do We Get To Our Goals?
In today's episode Mario, Adina, & Etiana discuss some areas to think about when going towards our goals.

The topic is based off an email that we are sending out on the 1st of every month. To SIGN UP FOR OUR EMAIL LIST, click HERE and place your email in the subscribe field and hit submit!

Here are the quick 5 things to keep in mind when going on a trip towards your goals.

Where do we want to go? “Hey siri, directions HOME.”
Determine our route. “With tolls or without?”
Break up the drive & go. “Starting Route to…”
Detours will occur.“Accident up ahead…”
Don’t wait to unpack. “Arrived at…”

If we are going to go after our goals we need to think about at the least these 5 areas. We know there are more and if you have more, share them with us at info@made4moreconsulting.com

We hope this helps begin to create some thoughts when it comes to going after our goals.
