The Key to Sustainable Growth: Embracing Simplicity and Gratitude

Happy New Year, friends, and welcome to 2025! In this cozy solo episode, I’m diving into a deeply personal topic that feels so aligned for the start of the year—shifting from the constant chase for more to fully embracing enough. I’ll share how we can stop living in “the gap,” where we focus on what’s missing, and start celebrating “the gain,” where we honor how far we’ve come. I reflect on my own journey of releasing the pressure to always achieve the next big thing and instead focus on sustainable growth, alignment, and gratitude. You’ll hear powerful mindset shifts, practical tips, and an invitation to step into this year with clarity and confidence. Let’s make 2025 the year we stop chasing and start embracing you are already enough! Liked this episode?

If your past self could see you now, the business you've built, the incredible clients that you've served, the growth that you've experienced, no matter how big or small, she would be in awe. But instead of celebrating that progress, we often focus on what's missing right now” - Julie Solomon  “ I know that you have probably thought, in the last week or so, I should be further along by now. But says who? Based on what metric? Someone else's 2024 Instagram highlight reel, someone else's version of success? That comparison trap is deadly, my friends and it is one of the biggest reasons why people feel so stuck.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [THE GROWTH COLLECTIVE] Join my 2025 Business Planning Session inside The Growth Collective and start the year with clarity, simplicity, and a profitable plan—Click here to join!

In this episode, Jason and I dive into important topics like financial security, money mindset, and even financial infidelity. We also talk about his new book, Talk Money to Me, which is all about how to have open and honest conversations about money—whether that’s with your partner, family, or friends.

Maybe a Michael Strahan, a Paris Hilton. In three words, you can immediately identify what their brand is. And what I'd say to anyone out there is, in three words, what would your boss? What would your colleague? What would your partner? What would your mom or dad? Say your brand is, and if that isn't quickly identifiable, you may have some struggles when other people are looking at you as a resource to be their outlet for an opportunity. - Jason Tartick I think a lot of times people don't even give themselves the permission of getting started.
