No matter who you are, where you are or what you do, every single one of us has two worlds that influence our lives, what we do or don’t, our relationships, our health, our success and what we experience in our lives… the outer world and the inner world. One we have almost no control over, that’s the outer world… and the one we do have 100% control over… the more important one… is the inner world.

Ever feel like you're constantly running up against your own limitations? This week we unpack the transformative journey of mastering your inner world, and I promise, you'll walk away with a new perspective on personal success. Many of us grapple with our inner demons on a daily basis, but here's the good news: You have the power to take control of your inner world and steer it in the direction of success and fulfillment. It's not just about the hurdles life throws at us, but the way we vault over them with a mindset tuned for success.

Let's talk about the power of change and the adjustments that can skyrocket your aspirations. We dive into the crucial role of physical well-being, the decisive nature of our mindset, and the profound influence of our surroundings on our achievements. So, gear up for a week charged with progress and positivity, fueled by the insights from today's enlightening conversation.

Ever been frustrated by those little flaws that can mar an otherwise perfect paint job? You're not alone. Join me as I sit down with Jeremy Winters of AccuDraft Spray Booths to expose the truths on what it really takes to keep our paint booths spotless and our projects flawless. We tackle the nitty-gritty details that can cause a painter grief, from troublesome dirt specks to the nuances of achieving an even bake temperature. Jeremy doesn't just bring solutions to the table; he brings a story of transformation that's bound to resonate with anyone who's faced a crossroads in life.

Paint booth maintenance might not be glamorous, but it's the bedrock of standout paintwork. In our exchange, we dial-in on how a disciplined approach to cleanliness and upkeep can elevate your craft. Jeremy shares tips beyond the obvious—like the importance of spotless paint guns and the critical role of filter management. This episode isn't just about troubleshooting; it's about instilling pride in the process and cherishing the details that lead to dazzling results. And for those looking to grow their network and knowledge, we also recount the electrifying energy of industry events like SEMA, where the community's pulse beats strongest.

When Jeremy Winters, a former refinish technician with an artistic flair, faced a life-altering health scare, he didn't let it end his career. Instead, he learned to pivot, transforming his passion for automotive painting into a role that continues to influence the industry from a new perspective.

My conversation with Jeremy is more than a mere trip down memory lane—it's an eye-opener on the potential hazards of automotive refinishing. His first-hand account pinpoints the crucial moments where health concerns from paint fumes forced him to hit the brakes on his career as a painter. Yet, it was through these challenges that we uncover the serendipitous encounters and the robust network that steered Jeremy towards a path of industry relations and content creation. His gratitude towards fresh air systems, mentorship, and the evolution of workplace safety is palpable, and it underscores a message that resonates with every technician who has ever picked up a spray gun.

Wrapping up Part 1 of this 2-part episode, Jeremy's anecdote reminds us that sometimes a single phone call can launch an entirely new chapter. A chance conversation led to an unanticipated job opportunity with AccuDraft, where he now crafts content that supports and educates fellow painting technicians. It's a compelling tale of harnessing resourcefulness, the strength of community, and how maintaining a passion for your craft can guide you through the most unexpected career turns. Listen in to hear how Jeremy's tenacity and dedication have made him an invaluable resource in the automotive refinishing community and be sure to come back next week for Part 2 & the inspirational conclusion of our conversation!

Episode Notes:

Has that New-Year, New-You lie let you down in the past?

Do you usually find yourself fizzling out on your New Year's resolutions faster than a cheap sparkler on the Fourth of July? No judgment here—a staggering 80% of resolutions are in the same boat, but I’ve got a life-raft of strategies to keep your goals afloat all year long. In the newest MindWrench podcast episode, I’ll unleash the top 10 reasons why we often see our aspirations sink and how to turn that ship around. With a blend of personal stories of my own goals that have capsized in the past, I'm laying out a blueprint that will help keep your 2024 ambitions afloat.

Strap in for this episode as I break down how setting Mount Everest-size goals without a sherpa can lead to an avalanche of disappointment, and why being as vague as a politician's promises won't get you to the finish line. You'll learn why a lack of planning is like setting sail without a compass and how flying solo without an accountability copilot might see your resolutions crash and burn before spring even blooms.

So, if you're ready to transform your yearly pledges to true transformation, from fizzling fireworks to powerful progress, drop the same old New Years resolutions, and join me in starting the New Year's revolution with your goals steering steady and strong towards some real results!

Episode Notes:

Honestly, as busy as we all were this year, doesn’t it seem the world around us keeps advancing faster than we can keep up?

As this year winds down, and we have a few days to reflect, we start thinking about what we could do better next year in some area (or several areas) of our lives, agreed?

Ready to truly make your new year resolutions stick? What if you could set your sights on your goals with the precision and determination of a sharpshooter? We're here to guide you through an actionable framework that will help you map out your ambitions and start the engine towards success - not just when the ball drops on New Year's Eve, but right now. We'll share insights on the vital differences between those who start the year with a bang and those who fizzle out, offering you the tools to set precise, non-negotiable goals, commit to them, and step into action.

Would you like to learn how to massively increase your ability to set & achieve goals?

We'll underline the vital importance of writing down your goals and keeping them within sight - the perfect antidote to aimless chasing. We'll inspire you to adopt a growth mindset and cultivate an unwavering belief in your capabilities.

This week, I’m resharing a message from last December, to help give you a simple, but effective, 3-step framework to set yourself up for success in going after & achieving the things that matter most to you… your top goals for next year… not the things you would “like” to do, or “want” to do… no, I’m talking about the things that you MUST do, what you NEED to do, the GOALS that will propel you to that next level of success, of happiness, of fulfillment that you TRULY DESIRE!
