  • 068: Align and Thrive: Unleashing the Power to Achieve Your Goals
    Feb 1 2024
    We've started the year off strong! Some of us are doing really well, while others are gaining momentum. And unfortunately, some of us may already feel like we're falling behind.
    No matter where you are right now, we all want 2024 to be an amazing year—a year where we not only achieve our goals, but surpass them. Get ready for this episode, because it's packed with important insights to make it happen.
    This week on The Truest Fan Blueprint, Rob Brown and Phil Calandra dive deep into the common feeling of falling behind on our goals. They reveal the main culprits that cause our aspirations to stall, and most importantly, they share their battle-tested planning strategy to get back on track.
    Rob explains why the traditional 12-month goal-setting approach often backfires. It turns out we tend to overestimate what we can accomplish and our tasks can seem overwhelming, even when we’re just 30 days into a new year. But he offers a solution. Phil emphasizes the power of continuous action, instead of just reacting to situations. By implementing The Truest Fan Action Plan (TFAP), we can gain the clarity we need to overcome procrastination and achieve our goals with enthusiasm.
    The key takeaway for anyone feeling like they're playing catch-up? Focus on making small progress through disciplined action, rather than searching for quick fixes. By letting go of the expectation of overnight success, we position ourselves to not only achieve but even exceed our wildest dreams.
    In this week's episode, Rob and Phil shed light on some important topics:
    • The value of 12-month goals and 90-day sprints in crafting a solid business plan
    • How embracing small progress can help us avoid feeling stagnant and trapped in the pursuit of our dreams

    Get ready, because this episode is about to inspire and motivate you. Buckle up and let's make 2024 our most epic year yet.
    Show Highlights:
    • Why do people often feel like they are constantly lagging behind on their goals year after year? [02:06]
    • The value of breaking down your 12-month goals into 90-day sprints [04:37]
    • Unveiling the path to achieving your goals: The art of orchestrating a series of actions. [09:20]

  • 067: The Simplicity Trap: Unraveling the Illusion of Easy
    Jan 25 2024
    If you believe that simplifying something automatically makes it easy, then you absolutely need to catch this latest episode!
    In this week's installment of The Truest Fan Blueprint, hosts Rob Brown and Phil Calandra delve into the fundamental distinction between simplicity and ease. They shed light on why these concepts often get mixed up and stress that while streamlining processes is crucial for achieving success, it doesn't eliminate the requirement for hard work.
    Drawing on examples like investing, weight loss, and marathon training, Rob and Phil illustrate how identifying simple systems and steps can be a straightforward process, but carrying them out demands discipline. They recount the tale of a financial advisor who grappled with client referrals until devising a very basic routine for initiating referral conversations during client reviews. Although it felt uncomfortable at first, adhering to this simple system for just 90 days yielded more referrals than ever.
    Rob and Phil emphasize that our human tendencies toward shortcuts frequently sabotages our ability to stick to simple frameworks. However, by accepting that simple does not always mean easy, we can better set ourselves up for success.
    Remember, even simple and well-thought-out strategies will demand effort. But by avoiding unnecessary complexity, we can almost always achieve more favorable results.
    In this week's episode, Rob and Phil shed light on the following topics:
    • The difference between simple and easy
    • Two important steps for simplifying your routines in business and life
    • The simplicity of discipline: acting on your goals and sticking to the plan


    Show Highlights:
    • Why simple and easy aren’t the same thing [02:07]
    • Why it’s important to simplify your business yet recognize that this doesn’t mean things are always going to be easy [05:47]
    • Two steps to simplify your business while recognizing that it will still involve hard work and discipline [6:48]
    • The danger in being careless when looking for the path of least resistance [09:47]
    • The simplicity of discipline [11:55]

  • 066: Embrace Comparison: Unleashing Growth Instead of Stealing Joy
    Jan 18 2024
    Do you often compare your achievements with others? Do these comparisons motivate you to improve or do they leave you feeling defeated, demotivated, or even envious? If you relate to these questions, you are in the right place!
    In this impactful episode of The Truest Fan Blueprint, Rob Brown and Phil Calandra have a meaningful discussion on how comparison can be a tool for growth instead of something that robs you of joy.
    They give the example of a junior advisor teaming up with a senior advisor and how the junior advisor might begin desiring what the senior advisor has accomplished throughout their extensive career. Rob and Phil stress the significance of establishing appropriate expectations and benchmarks, ensuring that the junior advisor remains focused on their own developmental journey instead of making unfair and irrational comparisons.
    The key lies in effective coaching and mentoring. A skilled coach or mentor can help both partners avoid common mistakes, cultivate strategic habits, and achieve their goals quicker and genuinely.
    According to Rob and Phil, the primary goals of a business owner may extend beyond money or status. Instead, they may seek freedom and fulfillment through purpose-driven work. By avoiding comparison traps and designing a personalized roadmap to success, it is possible to flourish in business and live life on your own terms.
    Don't miss out on the practical insights Rob and Phil share about mindset, benchmarking, and what truly drives sustainable achievement.
    In this week's episode, Rob and Phil shed light on the following topics:
    • Comparison as the thief of joy and as a great growth tool in business
    • Why business owners need a coach or a mentor
    • Why a positive mindset is vital to achieving your goals faster
    • The value of setting purpose-focused goals in business and life

    Show Highlights:
    • Is comparison a good thing or a bad thing? [01:33]
    • How to make comparison a good thing: The essence of coaching and mentoring [07:05]
    • Phil’s Eight Killer Mistakes strategy [10:26]
    • Rob’s strategy for closing the gap between points A and B [11:24]
