Reboot Your Life: Staying Motivated Beyond Resolutions

Reboot Your Life: Staying Motivated Beyond Resolutions

Hey, What's Up! It's Tommy. Today, I’m diving into the whirlwind of life, reflecting on what it takes to rebuild and refocus—whether that’s in parenting, business, or personal health. From navigating life as a dad to an autistic son to managing a small business, I’m sharing the tools and lessons that keep me grounded, re-energized, and moving forward. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress.

The new year is here, but I’m not about New Year’s resolutions. Instead, I’m focused on creating sustainable, year-round habits that help me stay proactive, not reactive. I’m opening up about goal setting, cleaning up my diet, prioritizing health, and how books like Extreme Ownership and Atomic Habits have reignited my drive to tackle life’s challenges head-on.

Let’s dive into how we can keep showing up for our families, our businesses, and most importantly, ourselves.

Key Takeaways

  • Year-Round Motivation: Why waiting for a new year to start goals doesn’t work and how small, consistent actions can lead to big results.
  • The Nail Analogy: Are you stuck because it doesn’t hurt bad enough? I share a powerful story to help you identify what’s holding you back.
  • Parenting Goals: From helping Wyatt with bathroom independence to encouraging his communication skills, setting tangible, incremental goals for your child can make a difference.
  • Health Reset: The importance of clean eating, cutting sugar, and finding even 15 minutes for exercise to boost energy and focus.
  • Business Lessons: Building a company that doesn’t depend on you and learning to step back in when necessary to sharpen systems and refocus on growth.
  • Proactive vs. Reactive: Why it’s critical to take control of your life now instead of waiting for things to fall apart.
