You can have all the ingredients of a perfect morning routine… and still feel like you’re getting nowhere.   Here’s why…   When morning routines fail, it isn’t usually because you journaled before you did your ice plunge… or haven’t found the right habit… or don’t have enough willpower or discipline...    It’s probably because you’ve fallen into one of the hidden “traps” that keep you stuck.   So in this week’s episode of Date to Launch, Chris, Dan and I are revealing these traps… and how to avoid them. You’ll discover:   Why you should stop “shoulding” on yourself (and what you should do instead) It’s not the habits, but the moments between them that are sabotaging your success The fastest way to get back on track when you fall out of your routine (I’ll show you what I do) Why less is often more – how subtraction can help unlock new levels of creativity and productivity Tips to make your morning routine inevitable (so you don’t need to rely on willpower or motivation)   … and much more.   If you’ve ever wondered why you seem to be doing everything right but you’re still struggling, you might be caught in one of these traps.   It’s time to break free…   Dare to Launch Free Bonuses found at: www.getyoulaunched.com   Access Dare to Launch Bonus Vault: http://www.DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco Learn how to build an email list and launch your own business online with Launch Quickstart – our free training at https://jeffwalker.com/  Hear more from Jeff Walker on…  YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/@productlaunch  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeffwalkerco  Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jeffwalkerco     Resources Referenced in the episode:    Got a question for us?  Go to DaretoLaunchShow.com to submit a voicemail with your question, and you might hear the answer on one of our next episodes!   THANKS FOR TUNING IN!

Many folks talk about morning routines like they’re the key to success.   But what if that’s not actually true? Even worse…    What if your morning routine is actually holding you back?   In this episode of Dare to Launch, Chris, Dan, and I take a look at the real impact of morning routines on entrepreneurs – so you can see if yours is powering your success… or just another distraction.   My morning routine has been through a lot of changes over the past 15 years – from meditation to journaling… to yoga and tapping. It’s given me a good insight into what works… and what doesn’t.    And maybe more controversially… when you shouldn’t have a morning routine at all.   We also get into:   The simple “test” that tells you if your morning routine is helping you… or holding you back Why I deliberately chose not have a morning routine when I started out (and what I did instead) The morning myth that keeps even top entrepreneurs stuck… no matter how much they work A common productivity mistake that drains your willpower before noon The “start from scratch” morning routine I would follow if I lost everything tomorrow How I get a daily shot of wisdom from books I read years ago (without turning a single page) The one rule that keeps me laser-focused (even on chaotic days) The simple tweak that helps switch my brain into “deep and creative” mode every morning   … and much more.   If you’ve ever questioned whether morning routines really make a difference – or want to design one that helps you unlock your creative spark and inner genius – you need to hear this.   Dare to Launch Free Bonuses found at: www.getyoulaunched.com   Access Dare to Launch Bonus Vault: http://www.DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco Learn how to build an email list and launch your own business online with Launch Quickstart – our free training at https://jeffwalker.com/  Hear more from Jeff Walker on…  YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/@productlaunch  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeffwalkerco  Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jeffwalkerco     Resources Referenced in the episode:  DTL#17: How Summits, Tapping, and Doing Good Makes Great Business w/ Nick Ortner DTL#28 How Jeff Lost His Business In The Blink Of An Eye Pomodo Technique  Read Wise    Got a question for us?  Go to DaretoLaunchShow.com to submit a voicemail with your question, and you might hear the answer on one of our next episodes!   THANKS FOR TUNING IN!

In 2016, Tai Lopez made a video that didn’t just go viral – it changed the gme. It took a fresh approach, and it caught the entire marketing world off guard. In this clip from Dare to Launch, Dylan Frost (who’s studied virality like almost no one I know) breaks down the big lessons we can take away from it… even in 2025.  It’s a mini-masterclass on seizing your audience’s attention and staying one step ahead of the competition (and if you remember the ad, don’t worry – it’s nothing to do with flashy cars or bookshelves!).

Sometimes, it feels like the news, social media, and outside events are working overtime, trying to pull us into a storm of negativity. But here’s one of the most important things I’ve learned as an entrepreneur – I don’t have to participate. We don’t have to react to the storm. We have the entrepreneurial advantage – we can create our own reality.  That’s why in this week’s episode of Dare to Launch, Chris, Dan, and I explore mindset shifts and strategies you can use to control your narrative, turn challenges into opportunities, and thrive… regardless of what’s going on in the world. Here’s what we cover: The ultimate superpower entrepreneurs have that traditional jobs don’t Why big-picture crises don’t actually affect your business as much as you think (and often present big opportunities) The simple trick I use to stop social media from draining my energy What decades of meditation have taught me about success as an entrepreneur The five-word mantra I’ve used to thrive through every economic storm – from the dot-com crash to the pandemic … and much more! You don’t have to be at the mercy of outside forces. This episode will show you how to take back control, turn chaos into clarity, and create your own momentum.   Dare to Launch Free Bonuses found at: www.getyoulaunched.com   Access Dare to Launch Bonus Vault: http://www.DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco Learn how to build an email list and launch your own business online with Launch Quickstart – our free training at https://jeffwalker.com/  Hear more from Jeff Walker on…  YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/@productlaunch  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeffwalkerco  Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jeffwalkerco     Resources Referenced in the episode: Launch Club a year-long coaching program to accelerate your launch results.

How far would you go to follow your calling?   For Thembi Bheka, the answer was “the other side of the world.” She left the comfort of Canada to return to Zimbabwe with one mission – to help women escape poverty and abusive relationships by giving them the tools to achieve financial independence and transform their lives. Her story is raw, inspiring, and a powerful testament to how one person’s purpose can fuel incredible change. In this week’s clip from Dare to Launch, Thembi opens up about how she found her purpose and overcame incredible challenges to create life-changing opportunities – for herself and others.   Free Launch Resources at http://www.getyoulaunched.com Access other Dare to Launch bonus content by going to http://www.DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco  Jeff’s YouTube channel - http://www.Youtube.com/@productlaunch  Resources Referenced in the episode: Launch Club Coaching Program.

Some days, it can feel like you’re spinning your wheels. Like no matter how hard you try, the progress just isn’t there.   It’s easy to get discouraged when that happens… unless you realize that those small steps you take today can be the exact steps that lead to breakthroughs tomorrow.    The key is learning to recognize them… and knowing when to double down and keep going.   This week on Dare to Launch, we dive into mindsets and techniques you can use to turn slow progress, setbacks, and even failures into fuel that drives you forward.   We explore:   How I stay motivated even when it feels like I’m making zero progress (yes, it happens to me too!) The #1 question I ask my skiing coach that’s completely transformed my progress (if you’re a coach, use this with your clients and they’ll probably experience game-changing results too) The biggest thing stopping people from taking action – and how I solved it for myself Why focusing on small wins leads to big breakthroughs – faster than you think   … and more! This episode will help you realize that setbacks don’t mean “stop” – they’re signs you’re growing. And give you practical techniques you can use to turn setbacks into stepping stones.   APPLY FOR THE LAUNCH INTENSIVE at: http://www.getyoulaunched.com Access other Dare to Launch bonus content by going to DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco  More about Jeff Walker - http://www.JeffWalker.com Jeff’s YouTube channel -  http://www.youtube.com/@productlaunch   Learn how to build an email list and launch your own business online with Launch Quickstart – our free training at https://jeffwalker.com/  Got a question for us?  Go to DaretoLaunchShow.com to submit a voicemail with your question, and you might hear the answer on one of our next episodes!

Have you ever felt like the business you built for freedom… is more like a jail? That’s exactly what happened to Olivier Roland. He built a successful company… but it began to take over his life.  We’re talking 60-70 hour weeks. Barely any vacations. And no way out. Until two lessons gave him the slap in the face he needed. These lessons didn’t just reshape how he saw his business – they gave him a blueprint for transforming it into his ticket to freedom. In this clip from Dare to Launch, we discuss: The books that helped Olivier escape from his “self-made jail” Why so many entrepreneurs feel trapped by their own business… and the easy way out Why working harder might not get you to the next stage of your journey (but a simple mindset shift will) The one secret you should take from this – or any other “How to” – podcast If you’ve ever felt like you’ve created a job… instead of a business that allows you to live life on your terms, you’ll get a lot out of this.

A couple months ago, we had a bold idea on my team. What if we took our fan-favorite PLF Live® event… and we threw an encore? What would that look like? And would it still be as powerful? Despite the tech gods throwing us the odd curveball or two, we found that we were still able to deliver an incredible experience with the new format.  And now the dust has settled, Chris, Dan, and I are diving into what we learned hosting this new type of live event… and how you can apply it to your own business. 🚀Want my personal help with your launch? 🚀 Live events have always been game-changers for me. That’s why I’m so excited about our Launch Intensive. It’s an in-person event limited to just 40 entrepreneurs where you’ll spend two full days with me and my Campaign Design Team as we build out your launch. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have me work on your launch… this is your chance.

Have you ever wondered what separates good launches… from the truly great ones? Over the summer, I hosted an exclusive high-end workshop. Over three days, I personally guided a small group of entrepreneurs through building their launches (along with my personal Campaign Design Team).  It was an absolute joy… and we walked away with some really cool insights into what it takes to create a winning launch. This week on Dare to Launch, Dan (from my Campaign Design Team) and I discuss some of the biggest takeaways and lessons from the workshop – along with some of the biggest breakthroughs we witnessed people have while planning their launches. If you’ve ever felt like your launch could use a boost – or want to take your launches to the next level – this episode is for you. You’ll discover the power of… A clear focus on the one thing that makes your launch planning easier Simple, small changes that help turn blindspots into opportunities “If it ain’t broke… improve it” – how testing and refining the best-performing elements of your launch could lead to your next big breakthrough … and much more.  🚀Want hands-on help with your launch? 🚀 Two days, in-person with Jeff and his Campaign Design Team, planning your launch.

Have you ever faced a moment where you had to reinvent everything? Back in 2009, Nick Ortner found himself in that exact spot...  Money was tight, time was tighter, and he needed a way to make things work – fast. What came next was an idea born out of sheer necessity…  In this clip from Dare to Launch, we unpack the untold story of how the online summit was born.  You’ll hear: The unorthodox decision that changed everything – and why breaking the rules sometimes leads to the best breakthroughs. How free content became the ultimate sales tool – and built unshakable trust with an audience hungry for real transformation. Why failure was the unexpected foundation of success – and the lesson it holds for anyone ready to innovate. The secret to making people tune in – and stay hooked – even when you’re giving it all away for free. Whether you’re navigating challenges or looking for your next big idea, this clip will inspire you to take action. And it’s a powerful reminder that the best ideas often come when you’re out of options.
