When life feels busy but strangely unfulfilling, it’s easy to miss what’s really off track. In this mentorship episode with Joey Toth, participants sat down with the Wheel of Balance and got brutally honest about where they actually stand in life. By rating key areas—like health, money, relationships, and purpose—they stopped guessing and started seeing patterns that were quietly holding them back. It wasn’t about judgment or fixing everything overnight. It was about clarity. Real growth came from facing the numbers, naming what felt off, and making one clear choice to move forward. Sometimes progress starts with a pen, a circle, and the courage to get real.

Quotes:

• "When we fail, we fail forward. We learn something from it. When we stumble, we get ourselves back up."
• "Shift that mindset by saying, I get to, not I have to. I get to be healthy. I get to spend time with my kids. I get to be a powerful individual."
• "We see the good in everybody else. We see the good in others and acknowledge the good and the great—but it's very hard for us to come back and do that same thing for ourselves."

Key Takeaways:

• Create your personal Wheel of Balance, rating satisfaction in key areas from 0-10 and identifying specific steps to improve low-scoring sections.

• Block out 1 hour daily for personal growth - read, meditate, or reflect on self-development without distractions.

• Write down what "fully satisfied" looks like in each life area, then outline 3 concrete actions to move closer to that vision.

• Practice shifting your mindset from "I have to" to "I get to" when approaching challenges or personal goals.

• Find an accountability partner who can support your growth and help you stay committed to your personal development objectives.

Conclusion:

Real growth happens when we take a clear, honest look at all parts of our lives—work, health, relationships, and more—and notice where things feel off. The Wheel of Balance helps break this down, showing where we might need to make small but meaningful changes. It's not about fixing everything at once or aiming for perfection. Progress comes from regular reflection, adjusting our mindset, and being willing to act, even in small ways. Over time, these steps help bring our lives more in line with what truly matters to us.

Always feel like success is one step ahead, no matter how hard you hustle? In this episode, Joey Toth flips the script on what success really means. It’s not about hitting some perfect milestone—it’s about showing up, staying curious, and giving yourself permission to grow. He shares how small mindset shifts, like seeing failure as feedback or taking one brave step at a time, can completely change your path. Real success, he says, isn’t flashy—it’s quiet, steady, and deeply personal. If you’ve been chasing an idea of success that never feels real, this might be the reset you need.

Quotes:

• "Success is not a destination, it's a mindset."
• "Failures can happen. Don't focus on them. Try to avoid them, sure, but don't let that be the paralyzing focus of ‘I may fail.’"
• "We have to believe in ourselves. We have to believe that we're capable of success at every level."

Key Takeaways:

• Audit your daily mindset: Write down three fears holding you back and create specific actions to transform each obstacle into an opportunity for growth.

• Practice radical self-accountability by documenting one mistake from the past week, extracting its core lesson, and designing a concrete strategy to prevent similar situations.

• Implement a "success ritual" each morning where you verbally affirm your capability to achieve goals, focusing on the process rather than just the end result.

• Challenge yourself to take one uncomfortable action daily that pushes you outside your comfort zone, tracking how these small steps contribute to your personal evolution.

• Create a personal "success definition" that goes beyond traditional metrics, capturing your unique vision of what meaningful achievement looks like for your life.

Episode Timeline:

[00:42] Why success starts with how you see the world

[03:43] Tools that matter more than raw talent

[04:31] The quiet power of being honest with yourself

[06:25] You get to define what success really means

Conclusion:

Success is less about titles or recognition and more about how a person thinks, grows, and stays steady through challenges. It shows up in the small, consistent steps taken each day, especially when things feel uncertain or difficult. True progress comes from being honest with yourself, learning from experience, and staying open to change. When success is defined by personal growth and steady effort, it becomes something anyone can build over time. It's not about proving something to others, but about becoming someone you’re proud of.

Ever feel like your biggest roadblock isn’t out there—but in your own head? In this powerful keynote, Joey Toth gets real about that inner voice—the one that second-guesses, overthinks, and keeps you stuck. Instead of pushing it down or powering through, they offer a new approach: name it, challenge it, and rewrite the script. With bold “I am” statements and a heavy dose of self-compassion, they show how shifting your inner dialogue can unlock confidence you didn’t know you had. It’s not about being fearless—it’s about showing up anyway. Because real growth starts when you finally believe you’re enough.

Quotes:

• "You control how you take in your experiences through how you choose to feel, how you choose to believe in yourself, and how you choose to present yourself."
• "Deep down, every single one of you—every single one of us—knows exactly what we're capable of."
• "The most difficult moments of our lives can bring the greatest change. They can offer new perspectives and insights."

Key Takeaways:

• Write down 3-5 "I am" statements that define your core identity and personal strengths.

• Identify one specific goal you want to achieve by the end of the year, then outline three concrete steps to make it happen.

• Practice catching and redirecting negative self-talk by pausing when your "monkey mind" starts spinning unproductive thoughts.

• Spend 10 minutes daily practicing self-compassion and writing down what you genuinely love about yourself.

• Choose one accountability partner who believes in your potential and can support your personal growth objectives.

Episode Timeline:

[00:00] A reminder that you control more than you think

[03:31] Why self-belief shifts how you see everything

[04:50] Say yes to the dream life you keep putting off

[1:02:04] You get to decide how your story unfolds

Conclusion:

The way we speak to ourselves shapes how far we go. Our thoughts can push us forward or quietly hold us back. When we learn to calm the mental noise and stay focused, doubt loses its grip. With steady self-belief and clear intention, we can move from hesitation to action and turn our goals into reality.
