Episode: "Refocus to Rise" Series (Part 1) Hosts: Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt

This episode kicks off a new end-of-year series called "Refocus to Rise," designed to help listeners reset and build momentum for the new year. The hosts, Mark and Theron, emphasize that while the new year is a natural time for a fresh start, these principles can be applied at any time.

The topic of this first episode is Mindset, which the hosts identify as the most important starting point for any change. The goal is to "clear the clutter"—the negative thoughts, habits, and beliefs tied to past failures—before building new goals.

Here are the three actionable steps outlined in the episode:

3 Steps to Refocus Your Mindset

Step 1: The Setback Audit This step is designed to turn past disappointments into empowerment.

1. Identify: Get a piece of paper and write down your "top three" setbacks, failures, or disappointments from the past year.

2. Learn: Next to each setback, write, "This happened and I learned..." and fill in the blank with the specific lesson you gained from the experience.

3. Release: Once you have extracted the lessons, symbolically destroy the paper (shred it or safely burn it). This signifies that you are done with the negative emotion, have kept the lesson, and are moving on.

Step 2: Reframe Your "I Can't" Statements This step focuses on changing your self-limiting language.

Become aware of when you use negative or limiting phrases like "I can't."
Immediately reframe the statement. For example, change "I have a big problem" to "I have a challenge to overcome."
A powerful technique suggested by Mark is to reframe "I can't" into an empowering question: "How could I?" This shifts your brain from a state of limitation to one of active problem-solving.

Step 3: Establish the Single Domino This step is about building momentum through small, focused actions.

Avoid the common trap of creating a massive, complex plan with multiple new habits at once, which leads to overwhelm and inaction.
Instead, identify the one single thing you can do right now that will make an impact and build momentum.
Examples include drinking one glass of water every morning or walking for 15 minutes. Focus on successfully doing that one thing for 30 days. This "single domino" will create momentum and make adding the next habit easier.

Key Takeaways

On Hearing Old Advice: If you hear a concept you've heard before, don't shut down by thinking, "I know this." Instead, ask, "What can I learn from this?" to stay open to new nuances.
The Power of Momentum: The hosts reference a key lesson (from Tony Robbins) to "never leave the site of setting a goal without taking at least one action." This immediate, small step is crucial for creating the momentum needed to follow through.

This episode serves as the foundation for the rest of the "Refocus to Rise" series, which will continue in the following weeks.
