What You Focus on Is Quietly Building Your Future

Changing the calendar doesn’t change your life, your choices do.

In this soul-stirring solo episode recorded from a hotel room in Cancun, George shares four powerful lenses that can radically shape your year ahead. If you’re tired of “vision boards” that don’t lead to vision being lived, and goals that never become reality, this episode is your permission slip to simplify, reflect, and focus on what truly matters, because 12 months from now, your life will be the result of what you start choosing today.

George unpacks a sermon that deeply impacted him, “This Year Can Be Special”, and translates it into a tactical, emotional, and spiritual invitation for entrepreneurs. Through four transformational principles, he explores how to realign your identity, clarify your focus, and stop living on autopilot. This isn’t about big leaps, it’s about micro decisions that lead to massive momentum.

Whether you lead a team, a business, or just yourself, this episode offers a blueprint for building a year that doesn’t just pass… but actually matters.

• Why your identity, not your strategy, is the foundation of success
• How your focus shapes your future
