EP258 | 5 Lessons Learned From My Snowboarding Trip

Just got back from hitting the slopes in Colorado and first time really learning to snowboard, and man, talk about a learning curve! Falling on my ass a lot got me thinking about how similar learning this crazy sport is to starting and growing your own practice.

In this episode, I break down five big lessons from my snowboarding adventure that directly apply to your business journey. From the importance of getting help (like a snowboard lesson!) to expecting bumps and bruises, realizing repetition is king, understanding it's mostly mental, and knowing you can always improve. Trust me, whether you're strapping into a board or building your clinic, these principles are universal.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Get a Lesson (Get Help): Don't try to figure it all out alone. Get coaching, mentorship, or guidance from those who've done it before. It shortens the learning curve and reduces the pain.
• Expect Bumps & Bruises: You're going to fall, make mistakes, and face setbacks in business, just like on the slopes. Learn from them, get back up, and don't let them stop you.
• Repetition is Key: Deliberate practice on your weaknesses, whether it's toe-edge turns or sales calls, is how you truly improve. Identify the bottleneck and drill it.
• It's 90% Mental: Confidence and mindset are huge. Cultivate belief in yourself and your ability to succeed, even when facing challenges.
• You Can Always Improve: Business, like snowboarding, offers endless opportunities for growth and mastery. Embrace being a lifelong learner.

🧠 Pro Tip:

Identify the single biggest component piece of your business that's holding you back right now (e.g., front-end sales, marketing consistency). Focus your energy on practicing and improving *that* specific skill through repetition.
