In today’s episode, I share an update on the progress I’ve made toward my 2025 goals so far. Taking time to reflect throughout the year is a powerful way to stay grounded, celebrate wins, and make meaningful adjustments. Sometimes, new goals emerge along the way—ones that may shift or even replace earlier plans—and that’s okay. Progress is still progress, and a win is a win.

How are your goals coming along this year? Have you added or adjusted any along the way? I’d love to hear how you’re defining progress as you move toward the finish line.

Episode 65: Finishing Strong: My 2025 Progress Check-In

On this 300th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I want to teach you one of the simplest, most effective habits for running your business like a professional: the weekly planning session. If you've ever wondered how elite-level entrepreneurs and advisors stay focused, consistent, and calm in the middle of chaos, it's not luck—it comes down to elite-level planning and staying in a rhythm of consistency. Their weeks are built by design.

The weekly planning session is your reset button, your opportunity to move from week to week proactively. It sets up each week to ensure that what you're doing each day aligns with your quarterly goals, annual goals, and your 3 Year Vision. Done right, it's the single most important 60 to 90 minutes of your week.

When you run a high-performance business, you can't wing it. No one is that good. A weekly planning session ensures you're grounded, focused, and prepared—moving seamlessly from week to week. Without it, you drift into reactive mode, chasing what's urgent instead of what's important. With it, you gain control of your calendar, energy, and your outcomes.

Best Practices for a Weekly Planning Session:

→ Create a recurring calendar invite. Choose the same time every week. Allow 60–90 minutes. Protect this block like a client meeting.
→ Review all correspondence from the previous week. Ask yourself: Did I miss an opportunity?
→ Review your previous week's calendar. Identify what worked, what didn't, and what needs follow-up.
→ Review your upcoming week. What events or meetings need preparation?
→ Review your CRM. Identify your "Next 10"—the retention and conversion process.
→ Identify one project that aligns with your quarterly goal.
→ Review your 3 Year Vision. See it. Feel it. Experience it in advance.

When you treat your weekly planning session as a non-negotiable, you'll find yourself more grounded, better prepared, with way fewer missed opportunities. You'll walk into Monday playing on offense without the anxiety of not being prepared.

Calculate the monetary value of the missed opportunities with your clients just in the last year. What's that number? $1M, $5M, $15M in production? What did you leave on the table?

Get out your calendar right now and schedule a recurring appointment with yourself for 60-90 minutes each week.

✈️ Take Flight Weekly,  Episode #300: Win the Week: The Power of a Weekly Planning Session

Begin with the end in mind. “END IN MIND” by WIZPOP turns planning into a feeling — a motivational K-pop/electropop track inspired by Habit 2 (“Begin with the end in mind”) and Law 29 (“Plan all the way to the end”).

◎ Artist: WIZPOP (Lia, Liz, Lina)
◎ Track: END IN MIND
◎ Vibe: empowering, focused, confident | k-pop / electropop / dance-pop
◎ Themes: goal-setting, planning, self-development

Lyrics:
WIZPOP!
aim for the end
draw the line
let’s go!

어제의 소음은 mute
마음은 clear
머릿속 지도에 
finish line을 그려

거짓 관념 delete
숨을 가다듬어
해야 할 것만 남겨
rest let it go

흔들리던 마음은 anchor 깊이
의미 없는 빛은 off—keep it simply
선명한 목표가 나를 이끌어
한 칸씩 클릭, my path is in order

수백 갈림길
나의 선택은 one way
Yes에 힘 주고
No에 선을 그어 (no sway)

의심은 fade
발맞춰 가면 돼
끝을 먼저 본다면
길은 밝아져

Begin with an end in mind (in mind)
Plan all the way to the end  (to the end)
흔들리지 않아 I know when to stop and shine
Fortune follows those who plan (we plan)

끝을 먼저 보면 
now the middle makes sense
We go, we go—END IN MIND

Plan all the way, all the way
Now then, no sway
Draw all the way, all the aim
no sway

Leader mode—blueprint loaded
step by step I own it
It’s not the grind that breaks you
it’s the fake view—I’m on it
Clear the fog, oiêsis out
truth in focus
route greene in my pocket
know the stop point, no doubt
Habit two locked in—begin where it ends
Zoomed-out vision turns chances to trends
Compass set north, crew tight, we ascend
Write the future—then walk it to the end

무엇을 놓고, 무엇을 들어
선택의 미학
달콤한 미로는 bye
나의 길만 빛나

오프트랙이면 turn back
다시 align
오늘의 작은 yes가 
내일의 sign

Check the milestones
dot by dot I link it
Pressure knocks, but my purpose
yeah, I sync it

시간의 파도에도 
중심은 steady
Goal in my sight
I’m always ready

손끝에 떨림이 와도 
I won’t bend
끝을 본 마음은 다시 
rise again

Begin with an end in mind (in mind)
Plan all the way to the end (to the end)
흔들리지 않아
I know when to stop and shine
Fortune follows those who plan 

끝을 먼저 보면 
now the middle makes sense
We go, we go

Stop the rush
breathe in, target acquired
고요 속에 빛난 선
나를 guide
Steps in sequencetiming refined
끝이 길을 만든다—
END IN MIND

5-6-7-8—draw, lock, aim, fire!
Plan—flow—hit—desire!
5-6-7-8—draw, lock, aim, fire!
Plan—flow—hit—desire!

Begin with an end in mind (so bright)
Plan all the way to the end (all night)
한계선을 넘어
watch us redefine
Fortune follows those who plan (that’s right)
끝을 먼저 보면 
every moment aligns
We go, we go, we go

Aim—walk—arrive. 
Curtain close on our time.

END IN MIND

On this Thanksgiving week 2025 and episode 304 of Take Flight Weekly, I revisit one of the most powerful performance basics in my playbook: gratitude. Not the soft version. The real thing. The kind that rewires your brain and anchors you when life is chaotic.
I'll walk you through my personal affirmation that starts with "I am so happy and grateful," unpack why I built it the way I did, and connect it to what the science of gratitude is proving right now. Then we'll get tactical with a simple, elite-level gratitude strategy you can execute in five minutes a day.

In Q4 2010, I was under real financial pressure. The business was hard, the numbers were tight, and I realized I had zero chance of winning if I didn't get control of what was happening between my ears. My goal was simple: Keep my emotional frequency at 51 percent or higher. Slightly more optimistic than pessimistic.

Around that time, I was studying Bob Proctor and John Assaraf. They made one point that landed hard: Success starts in your mind long before it shows up in your bank account. So I wrote my own affirmation, and I've now said it tens of thousands of times.
Meta-analyses of gratitude interventions show consistent gains in life satisfaction and mental health. Neuroscience work shows that gratitude practices light up reward and regulation centers in the brain. It's not just a "nice idea" anymore. It's a proven performance tool.

The Anatomy of My Affirmation
→ "I AM" – The two most powerful words. Your subconscious accepts whatever follows.
→ "So happy and grateful" – Happiness and gratitude are inputs, not trophies. They're a frequency you decide to live in.
→ "That money, success, and introductions" – Gratitude keeps you focused on opportunities you already have.
→ "Flow to me" – The kind of flow that shows up when your mindset, actions, and relationships are aligned.
→ "In ever increasing quantities from a myriad of different sources" – Gratitude is a flywheel that compounds over time.
→ "For the betterment of all those involved" – I never wanted success that only worked for me.
→ "My life is perfect" – I choose to see my current reality as raw material, not punishment.
→ "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better" – Pure 1% better math.

What the Science Says
→ Gratitude improves mental health – Reduces anxiety and depression
→ Gratitude changes the brain – Activates reward and regulation regions
→ Gratitude improves physical health and sleep
→ Gratitude strengthens relationships
→ Structured gratitude tools work in as little as 6-10 sessions

Three Gratitude Habits for Advisors
→ The 60-Second Morning Affirmation
Before you touch your phone, stand up, breathe deeply, and say your affirmation. Say it like you mean it.
→ The Weekly Gratitude Text or Voice Memo
Once a week, send one client, mentor, or team member a note saying specifically why you appreciate them. No pitch. Pure appreciation.
→ Gratitude Reset in Real Time

When anxiety spikes, stop for thirty seconds. Name three things you're grateful for in that exact 
moment. Use gratitude as a pattern interrupt.

I coach to happy and grateful results, not production. Production is a lagging indicator. Execution of being grateful is a leading indicator. When you're grounded, happy, and genuinely grateful, your business expands with less friction.

That's not woo-woo. That's strategy.

Take Flight Weekly Episode #304: Gratitude is a High Performance Strategy

I've made bucket lists before. What's changed is that at this stage of life, my goals are very different. I decided it was time to start a new bucket list. Looking at it now, this is very different from anything I've done before.

Creating A Bucklist After 50

On this 305th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I pull back the curtain on the 10 lessons that shaped me the most in 2025. I'm the President of Jameson Sotheby's International Realty, I coach elite-level producers across dozens of markets, and I continue to build my own business. That combination gives me a front-row seat to what separates the 3% from the 97%.

These are the real patterns that separate the people who grow from the people who stay stuck.

The 10 Patterns That Separate the 3% From the 97%
→ Lesson 1: Vision Is an Emotional Destination
A true vision is a feeling. It's the emotional state you want to experience three years from now—clarity, control, energy, confidence, margin.
→ Lesson 2: An Extra 0.25% on Every $10M in Production Is $25,000
Elite producers understand the compounding effect of precision. Micro improvements stack, scale, and matter.
→ Lesson 3: Is Planning Actually Procrastination?
Too many advisors hide behind "planning" because it feels productive. But planning without execution is avoidance. Planning becomes procrastination the moment it delays action.
→ Lesson 4: The 3% Are Willing to Fail to Learn and Grow
Failing in public is the entry fee to elite performance. The 3% don't fear failure. They fear stagnation. Most optimize for safety. The elite optimize for growth.
→ Lesson 5: The Basics Will Always Work. Less Is More.
Top performers master the basics at a higher level. When business gets noisy, the elite simplify. Excellence is built through subtraction, not addition.
→ Lesson 6: The Next Frontier Is Marketing Your Hyper-Local Market
Advisors who master hyper-local expertise will own the next decade. The buying public chooses location first. AI is indexing geography at a micro level. Build a brand tied directly to location.
→ Lesson 7: Only 4% of People Receive Two or More Handwritten Notes Per Year
Authenticity stands out. A handwritten note has the highest open rate in the world. Low cost. High impact. Underutilized.
→ Lesson 8: If You Don't Plant, You Will Not Harvest
Input always precedes output. You cannot take a season off from marketing, database management, and relationship nurturing and expect predictable revenue. Keep planting during your busiest months.
→ Lesson 9: The Top 1% Are Obsessed with Reaching Their Goals
Not committed. Obsessed. The top 1% live in complete alignment with their outcomes. Their habits, calendars, and relationships match their goals. Elite performance is engineered.
→ Lesson 10: Rightsize Is My Word for 2026

Rightsizing is about stripping away clutter. It's about aligning your business, commitments, team, and inputs with your emotional destination. It's not about shrinking. It's about recalibrating to grow in the right direction.

Here's my promise heading into 2026: I'm going to keep doing the work, connecting the dots, and bringing you the truth about what separates elite producers from the 97%. You show up and do your part, and I'll show up and do mine.
