The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Path | Episode 1: Start & Commit
Welcome to a special 7-episode bonus series: The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Path.
I interviewed my most successful clients to find out what actually created transformation for them when nothing else worked. Their answers were surprisingly similar — and I've distilled everything into 7 steps you can follow.
In Episode 1, I'm sharing Kelly's story. Kelly had tried everything — practiced hard, read all the mental game books, knew all the right answers. But nothing was working. In fact, she was getting worse.
When she reached out to me, she'd had enough. The pain of staying stuck had finally become greater than the fear of doing something different. She was 100% committed.
That decision was her real first tee.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why you can't halfway change your golf brain
- Why vulnerability is where confidence actually comes from
- The difference between commitment and perfection
- How to write your Big Why (your anchor when things get hard)
