Michael Rodd Exponential Growth Coach

The Difference Between People Who Succeed And People Who Fail
•
The way we evaluate the MEANING of the events, situations, and circumstances in our lives determines what we will DO, or what we will not do about them.
•
Because the meaning we choose creates the emotion we feel. And that feeling is either a source of power, or a source of fear.
•
What successful, happy people know that less successful, and unhappy people don’t know is that in every moment, in every circumstance and situation you have a choice about what things mean, instead of just defaulting into a meaning.
•
When you consciously choose the meaning, you take back your power to take strong, decisive action.
•
And as we all know, action is the great separator between those who succeed greatly, and those who don’t.
•
Take responsibility for choosing what things mean for you and watch your life begin to rapidly expand!

MAGNIFY YOUR SKILLS OR MODIFY YOUR AMBITION.
•
People don’t fail because their dreams are too big.
•
They fail because their current skill set was designed to accommodate a smaller identity.
•
Ambition without capability creates frustration.
Capability without ambition creates complacency.
•
But exponential growth happens when you refuse to shrink the vision…
and instead expand the person who must carry it. 🚀
•
If your goals feel heavy, slow, or just out of reach, it’s not a sign to lower the bar.
It’s feedback.
•
Feedback that your next level requires:
• New standards
• New disciplines
• New thinking patterns
• A stronger identity

So the real question is:
Will you grow into the future you want… or negotiate it down to fit who you are today?
•
Magnify the skills.
Upgrade the identity.
Keep the ambition. 🔥

DON’T WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO LIGHT YOUR FIRE.
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN MATCHES!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You cannot wait for or rely on someone or something else to provide you with the motivation, direction, action or clarity that your life needs.
•
What if they never show up?
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The good news is that you don’t have to.
•
Everything you need to create your life just the way you want it is already within you right now!
•
When an egg is cracked prematurely from the outside, the life inside is extinguished. However, when the egg cracks from the inside, a new life is born.
•
In the same way, nothing outside of yourself will create a new life for you.
•
Every resource that you perceive you are lacking is given life internally before it manifests externally.
•
It is never your resources but rather your lack of resourcefulness that is the presenting challenge.
•
And emotion is your ultimate resource!
•
If you can learn to call on and create the right emotion, you can literally get yourself to do anything!
•
Emotion is the force of life!
•
Remember, don’t wait for someone to light your fire. You have your own matches!
•
Strike one today!

EMOTION IS A PHYSICAL EVENT BEFORE IT IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL ONE.
•
Most people try to change their emotions by thinking differently.
But they ignore the fastest lever available to them—their body.
•
Before you feel confident, your posture changes.
Before you feel calm, your breathing slows.
Before you feel energized, your physiology shifts.
•
Emotion isn’t just in your mind.
It’s in your muscles.
It’s in your lungs.
It’s in your movement.
•
So the next time you feel stuck, anxious, or unmotivated…
don’t start with your thoughts.
•
Start with your body.
•
Stand taller.
Breathe deeper.
Move with intention.
•
Change your physiology,
and your psychology will follow. 🔥
•
Motion creates Emotion!

Most people think they’ve made a decision… but they’ve really just expressed a preference.
•
A true decision?
•
It removes the safety nets.
•�It burns the exits.
•�It makes going back… impossible.
•
That’s why you feel stuck.
•
Because you’re trying to create exponential results with reversible choices.
“I’ll try.”�“I’ll see how it goes.”�“I’ll keep my options open.”
•
That’s not commitment.
•�That’s hesitation dressed up as strategy.
•
Every level of growth in your life and business has been preceded by a moment where you closed the door on who you used to be.
•
The identity you hold onto is directly proportional to the options you refuse to eliminate.
•
If your current reality isn’t changing…�It’s because you haven’t made a decision that forces it to.
•
A real decision doesn’t just change what you do.
It changes who you are allowed to be.
•
And from that identity… everything else follows.

•

The event isn’t the problem.
The meaning you assign to it is.
•
Two people can face the same challenge — one grows, the other stays stuck.
•
Why?
•
Identity.
•
Your brain automatically creates stories to protect your current identity.
•
If you don’t consciously choose a new meaning, you’ll keep recreating the same results.
•
Growth begins when you stop asking:
“Why is this happening to me?”
•
…and start asking:
“Who do I need to become because of this?”
•
If you want to understand the hidden identity patterns shaping your decisions, habits, and results, start with the Identity Audit.

If You Are Not Happy In Life, Focus On This Instead…

There is a huge difference between happiness and real fulfilment. In fact, they are almost opposites.

Happiness comes when you get. So happiness is an outside in job. The challenge is that to be constantly happy, you need to be constantly getting.

Therefore, happiness is fleeting. And we cannot expect to be happy all the time.

Fulfilment is the opposite. Nothing living on this earth was designed to serve itself.

So our greater purpose is to serve the world. Fulfilment is an inside out job, and unlike happiness which is fleeting, the greater your service, the greater your fulfilment.

Don’t chase happiness. Decide how you will serve the world, and the world will return to you in greater, or equal measure!

Don’t call life hard when your big dream is stretching your Identity beyond who you’ve been.
•
Growth feels uncomfortable because the entrepreneur you’re becoming operates from new standards, new beliefs, and a bigger vision.
•
Every next level requires a new self-concept.
•
The question isn’t “Why is this so hard?” but “Who must I become to make this normal?”
•
When you upgrade your Identity, your actions, decisions, and results begin to compound.
•
If you feel stuck between who you were and who you’re meant to be — that tension is your invitation to evolve.
