## Resource

In this episode of No Days Off, Brian shares a memorable story told by Nick Saban about a fisherman who kept throwing back the biggest fish because they wouldn't fit in his nine-inch frying pan. It's a humorous story with a powerful message: too often, we don't miss opportunities because they aren't available—we miss them because we've outgrown neither our thinking nor our capacity. Brian explores how the people you surround yourself with, the books you read, the podcasts and YouTube channels you consume, and the challenges you choose all shape the size of your "frying pan." If you want bigger opportunities, bigger impact, and bigger results, the answer isn't to search for smaller fish. It's to become the kind of person who can handle bigger ones. If you've ever wondered whether you're limiting yourself more than the world is limiting you, this episode is for you. -- Get on the list to receive Brian's monthly newsletter: https://nodaysoff.com/subscribe/ Tune in to this podcast every weekday morning for 10 minutes or less as Brian shares lessons and stories about how to make positive changes in your life and business, one day at a time.
