You’ve heard it a thousand times: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” It’s a classic quote from Jim Rohn, and while it might sound like a tired cliché, it remains one of the most fundamental truths in personal development. But in the world of Brady Young Change, we don’t just settle for clichés. We look at the data, the research, and the real-world results of "Business Savages" who have climbed to the top. In my book, CHANGE: Simple Concepts

Hey there, change-maker. We’ve all been there: standing at the starting line of a big goal, full of fire and motivation, only to realize a few weeks later that the fire has dimmed and the path forward looks a lot more like a maze than a straight line. Why does that happen? Usually, it's because we’re trying to build a new life using an old blueprint. At Brady Young Change, we believe that real transformation isn't just about "trying harder." It’s about systemic growth. That’s

Let’s be honest for a second: most "goal-setting" advice is pretty much garbage. You’ve heard it all before. "Just write it down," they say. "Make it SMART," they shout. But if it were really that easy, you wouldn’t be sitting here on a Monday morning feeling like you’re running on a treadmill that isn’t actually going anywhere. We’ve all been there, setting a big, shiny goal in January only to have it collect dust by February. Why? Because most people treat goals like a dest

You’ve heard it a thousand times: "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." It’s a classic Jim Rohn-ism that has stood the test of time for one simple reason: it’s true. But here’s the problem: most people treat their social and professional circles like a backyard garden that they never bother to weed. They let whoever happens to be around: old high school friends, toxic coworkers, or unmotivated relatives: take up the most valuable real estate i

We’ve all been there. It’s a Monday morning, you’re feeling fired up, and you sit down to write out your "big goals" for the quarter. You follow the standard advice: make them SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound). You feel great for about forty-eight hours. Then, reality hits. Your schedule gets packed, your old habits creep back in, and that goal you were so excited about starts to look like just another item on a dusty to-do list. Why does this

We’ve all been there. You send what you think is a crystal-clear email, only to get a reply three hours later that makes it obvious the person didn't read past the first sentence. Or worse, you’re in a meeting where everyone is talking, but somehow, nothing is being said. In the high-stakes world of business and personal growth, communication isn't just about "talking." It's the engine that drives every project, relationship, and promotion. If that engine is sputtering, your

Let’s be real: We’ve all been there. You wake up on January 1st (or a random Monday) with a burning desire to "completely change your life." You buy the gym membership, you clear out the pantry, and you swear you’ll read fifty books by December. Then Tuesday happens. By the following week, that burning desire is a flickering candle in a hurricane of emails, kids' soccer practices, and the magnetic pull of the couch. We want the transformation, but we lack the system. At Brady

We’ve all been there. You wake up on a Monday morning, stare at the ceiling, and think, "Is this it?" You have big dreams, sure, but the gap between where you are and where you want to be feels like a canyon. Most people try to bridge that canyon by working harder, drinking more coffee, or reading another "hacks" listicle. But real transformation isn't about working harder; it’s about working with a map. At Brady Young Change, we don’t believe in fluff. We believe in actionab

Let’s be honest for a second: most people treat goal setting like a wish list they send to a North Pole that doesn’t exist. We’ve all been there: the burst of motivation on January 1st, the shiny new gym membership, the "this is the year I write my book" proclamation. And yet, by the time the February frost sets in, most of those goals are buried under a pile of "I’ll do it tomorrow" and "I’m too busy." At Brady Young Change, we don’t believe in wishes. We believe in systems.

Let’s be honest: we’ve all been there. It’s January 1st, or a random Monday morning, and you are fired up. You’re going to hit the gym every day, stop scrolling social media before bed, and finally start that side hustle. You’re motivated. You’re ready. Then, life happens. By Wednesday, you’re tired. By Friday, you’ve missed a session. By next week, that "new leaf" you turned over feels more like a heavy stone you’re tired of carrying. Most people think they fail at habit-bui

We’ve all been there. It’s Sunday night, and you’re feeling fired up. You’ve got a brand-new planner, a fresh gym membership, and a list of "new me" resolutions that would make an Olympic athlete sweat. You swear that this is the week everything changes. But by Wednesday? The gym feels like a chore, the planner is gathering dust, and you’re back to the same old patterns. If this sounds familiar, don’t beat yourself up. The problem isn’t your lack of discipline; it’s your stra

We’ve all been there. It’s January 1st, you’re fired up, and you’ve written down a list of "SMART" goals that would make a corporate consultant weep with joy. But by February, that list is buried under a pile of mail, and you’re back to the same old routines. The "experts" tell you that you just didn't want it enough. They say your "Why" wasn't big enough. They tell you to "hustle harder." They’re wrong. The truth is, traditional goal setting is fundamentally flawed because i

We’ve all been there. It’s January 1st, or maybe just a particularly motivated Monday morning. You wake up, declare that "today is the day everything changes," and you set out to overhaul your life. You’re going to hit the gym, eat clean, read for an hour, and finally start that side hustle. By Thursday, the gym feels like a chore. By next Tuesday, the pizza delivery guy is back on speed dial. Why does this happen? Is it because you lack "discipline"? Is it because you aren’t

Leadership isn’t just about making the big calls; it’s about how you communicate those calls to the people who have to execute them. You can have the best strategy in the world, but if your delivery is off, your team is going to stall. At Brady Young Change, we talk a lot about transformation. We believe that true change doesn't happen by accident: it happens through a deliberate focus on the core pillars of growth. If you’ve been feeling like your message is getting lost in

Let’s be real: life doesn't always play nice. Whether it’s a sudden pivot in your career, a relationship hitting a rocky patch, or just one of those days where the coffee machine breaks and the car won’t start, challenges are the only guarantee we have. But here’s the secret that separates those who crumble from those who conquer: it isn’t the challenge itself that defines the outcome. It’s the Attitude you bring to the table. At Brady Young Change, we live by the CHANGE fram

Leadership isn’t about the corner office or the title on your business card. It’s about movement. It’s about taking a group of people from point A to point B and ensuring nobody gets left behind in the fog. But how do you clear that fog? The answer is simple, yet most people struggle with it every single day: Communication. In the world of personal development, we often talk about "hustle" or "vision," but without the ability to articulate that vision, you’re just a person wi

Let’s be real for a second: We’ve all been there. You wake up on Monday morning, full of "new leaf" energy. You’ve decided that starting today, you’re going to meditate for thirty minutes, hit the gym for an hour, read fifty pages of a business book, and drink a gallon of water. By Wednesday? You’re hitting snooze until 8:45 AM, grabbing a donut for breakfast, and your "new leaf" is looking more like a dried-up twig. At Brady Young Change, we see this cycle constantly. People

Let’s be real for a second. We’ve all been there. It’s January 1st, or a random Monday morning, and you’ve decided: This is it. This is the day I start working out/reading/meditating/crushing my sales calls. You’re fired up. You’ve got the new gear, the new app, and enough motivation to power a small city. But then Wednesday hits. You’re tired, the kids are screaming, or a client meeting runs late. Suddenly, that "new life" feels like a chore. By Friday, you’re back to your o

Let’s be real for a second, how many times have you told yourself, "Monday is the day I start waking up at 5:00 AM," only to hit the snooze button four times when Monday actually rolls around? We’ve all been there. We get a burst of inspiration, buy the expensive gym shoes or the fancy planner, and then... nothing happens. Life gets in the way. We get tired. We lose motivation. The truth is, motivation is a liar. It’s a feeling, and feelings are fickle. If you want real, last

Let’s be real for a second: life is just one long string of decisions. What you eat for breakfast, who you call back, whether you start that side hustle, or how you pivot your company during a market shift, every single one of these choices creates the trajectory of your life and business. But here is the kicker: most people are absolutely terrified of making the wrong choice. They sit in "Analysis Paralysis," staring at spreadsheets and "what-if" scenarios until the opportun
