[R] You Are What You Tolerate

What if the very thing draining your energy isn’t your to-do list… but your tolerance list?

In this eye-opening episode, George flips the script on the usual productivity talk and gets real about the silent chaos we allow in our lives. From draining clients to leaky boundaries, what you tolerate becomes what you teach. And today, you’ll discover how to reclaim your power, not by doing more, but by tolerating less.

This powerful rerun from the Reset in 20 series isn’t about adding new strategies, it’s about subtracting the ones that are misaligned. 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why misalignment doesn’t come from what you do, but what you allow
• How tolerating small misfires leads to big resentment
• The ripple effect of values (or lack of them) across your team and business
• A single journaling question that will reveal what needs to change now
   

Key Takeaways:
✔️You’re not what you do, you’re what you tolerate. That applies to your team, your offers, your habits, and yourself.
✔️Resentment is often self-created. We don’t get drained by others, we get drained by saying yes when we mean no.
✔️The clearest standards are the ones we model. Your team and your clients won’t rise above the example you set.
✔️One powerful question to sit with: “What are you resentfully tolerating instead of actively celebrating?”
✔️Three values, standards, or principles can realign your entire environment.
