## Resource

Summary In this conversation, Jeff and Kristin discuss the importance of consistency, self-belief, and overcoming obstacles in the journey towards personal and professional success. They share insights on the writing process, the significance of setting daily intentions, and the need to let go of control over outcomes. The discussion emphasizes that success is a gradual process that requires patience and commitment, and encourages listeners to embrace change and focus on their goals as they move into 2026. Words of Wisdom: It's not what you believe, it's how hard you believe it. You can have your success or you can have your excuses, but you can't have both. Whatever you defend, you get to keep. The red lights are part of the journey, they're part of the path. Just be consistent. Do the one thing.
