Hey guys and welcome back to well. First of all, happy new year, happy 2025. I'm recording this podcast episode exactly on January 1st of 2025, after climbing a mountain not a big one, but still. It took an hour to get there and I watched Sunrise, and that is exactly the kind of new year that means a lot to me. You know, we can all think about what we think is right or wrong, but I think in 2025, the theme is authenticity. There are very few things that are fundamentally right or wrong. There are things that are more authentic, that are more true to you, and then those that are not Like.
Speaker 1For me, drinking and partying at night was never my thing, like never. Why would I want to do that? I hate staying up late, eating late even more, so I feel like crap the next morning and my whole day is just about surviving, right. So why would I want to do that to myself? And again, not saying it's right or wrong for anyone, but for me, the wrong thing. And now? Would I ever stay up late? I might, and I might enjoy it, maybe sometime, but most of the time I'm the kind of person who likes to hike the mountain and watch the sunrise on January 1st. You know, I also thought to myself today why is that that our tradition is to be lazy on January 1st, Like, literally, you stay up late and then you wake up the latest on the first day of the year. And you know, in Russia we have this saying how you start your year, that's how you're gonna have the whole year, and so if you think about that, you wake up super late, you don't do much, you feel like crap I'm talking about the majority of your population objectively in the world and then the whole year kind of starts on the wrong foot or on the wrong side of the bed. Not my kind of beginning, but again, I'm here to share what's right for me and to inspire, to empower you to do what's right for you, what feels really true to you. And actually very few people in our world ask themselves this question, like, how would I want to spend my new year? Not like my friend Bob or Anna, or my mom or my dad, or my social circle, my buddies, my girlfriends? No, like, how would I spend my ideal new year? Just like? Stop and ask yourself this question before we jump into the core curriculum of our today's podcast, which is going to be quite cool, helping you to bridge the gap between where you are today and where you want to be by the end of 2025. So think about that. How would you spend your ideal new year? Now, obviously, for most of you listening to this podcast, it's already late to plan this year. New year, but 2026, how would you spend that? What would be your dream new year? Which is 100% true to you?
Speaker 1And some people say, well, I'm not alone in this world, or I have my family, my friends. But you also are an individual who is born to be you and sometimes you gotta be. You must be selfish to live life true to yourself. It's kind of like cells in the body. Yes, they are part of the collective, creating the whole that functions well and every cell has a purpose to serve to the well-being of bigger whole organism that is you. But also every cell has its own life to live, maintains its own function and remember what it is, what it means to be healthy itself, right.
Speaker 1So today's podcast it's about bridging the gap. Bridging the gap method this is the name I gave to this method, but it's a proven method, proven by hundreds of clients who engage in coaching, specifically in the school where I got certified, they had, if not thousands, then hundreds of clients who went through this method. That's where I learned it. It was kind of more or less natural, but only now I'm realizing how important one of the steps is, and I think that was the stumbling block that didn't allow me to fully get the benefit of this method that will help you to breach the gap of where you are today and where you want to be. So the breach, the gap method or the breach method Three questions that you will ask yourself, that you must ask yourself if you are serious about making your destination for 2026 real one, not the one in your head, not the one in your dreams, but real one. So bridge the gap method to close the gap between point A, where you are today, and point B, where you want to be. So let's dig, jump right into it. Like one of my new year resolutions is to finally take the courage and jump into some body of water from the above. Never had the courage to do that, so keep me accountable on that one. So bridge the gap method.
Speaker 1Step one identify your point A. Before you can start your journey, you got to understand where you are. Imagine if you are starting your travels and you get your map out or your GPS out, the first step, or if you're taking an Uber. The first step is where are you? What's your starting point before you can get to any destination? What's your starting point? So, what's your point A? Ask yourself, where am I right now? And be specific about the area. Be specific about this area where you want to improve.
Speaker 1Where you are right now, be as descriptive and precise as possible. Objective, like your bank account right now, and if you have debts I have some debts or you're not sure how much in debt you might be, or how many bills you have, or what is your total sum of money and assets that you have. I also, by the way, have a financial snapshot worksheet. If you reach out and take this extra step, reach out to Angela at brainbreakthroughcoachcom the email is always in the show notes. If you reach out, I'll share with you financial snapshot worksheet, very simple, that will help you to define your initial state for your finances in order to build it up. So first step is always define your point A. Or if you're working on something a little bit more subjective, like the quality of your romantic or relationships, or friendships or family relationships, like on a scale from one to 10, what the quality is now, and define one, define 10, and also define where you are today. So define your point A Before you can start your Uber journey.
Speaker 1You put your starting point first, otherwise the driver will arrive somewhere else but not to you. Step number two and question number two. So bridge the gap is a three-question method. Step number two and question number two when do I want to be? That's the question number two. That is your point B. Where do you want to be? Be crystal clear about your destination. How will you know that you've arrived? Right Again, uber ride. What's your destination? Where are you going to jump off? Otherwise you might pass your goal and never notice, or you might be going in the different direction because you don't really know where you want to go.
Speaker 1You know, it's like Cheshire Cat and Alice in Alice in the Wonderland. Alice asks what road should I take? And Cheshire Cat says well, that depends on where you want to go. And Alice, I don't know where I want to go, so it doesn't matter. You got to understand where you want to go exactly precisely. Guys, not just I want a car, I want a relationship. I want to be richer, but how much richer? What kind of car? What kind of person you want to meet? You can meet a person, a random person, and get into some relationship on the street today. Will it satisfy you? So, define point B. How will you know you've arrived? Define measurable indicators of success that you can track and that is a key word, you can track.
Speaker 1Step number three the breach question. Question number three what do I need to learn skills and habits to build the amount of clients to sign up, systems and tools to create and get decisions to make to get to point B? Like what's between you and point B? What do you need to acquire to build to create? What kind of bridge do you need to build to get to the point B? And the transformative question, which is which this B question leads to? Where? Why am I not there already? Like what's the breach? Why am I not at point B? What's missing? Because if you already had everything you need to have to be at the point B, if you already were the person who deserves to have point B, if you already had all the information, all the skills, everything, you'd already be there. Goals are skills you haven't built yet. It's the skills, the habits, the information, the actions, the decisions that you haven't taken. Why am I not at point B already? What are those things that are missing? There is this gap, this void between where you are today point A and where you want to be point B. So what's missing? What's not there? The skills, the knowledge, the work, what's not there for you to have that point B? And why am I not there already? Uncover your logs.
Speaker 1Most often, guys, we fail and that's coming from a personal experience and working with clients not because we don't know what we need to do, or not even because we are not ready to do it, even though sometimes we people do fool ourselves thinking it's going to be easier when it's not going to be easier. So we most often fail, not because we don't know what we got to do, but because of unseen quote, unquote obstacles we choose to ignore. Example to help you understand A lot of people and I was one of those people a few years back would set weight loss goal for 2025 or whatever. That year is right. So they would set a goal and they would say, okay, I'm going to be on a diet, on this kind of diet or I'm not going to be eating sweets or processed food or overeat or eat late at night or whatever that is. And then they forget that the reason why they ate all those sweets and overate all those nights and I'm very familiar with this concept the reason is you.
Speaker 1You not being able to manage yourself caused your overeating, eating late at night, maybe drinking, watching too much television, not exercising. You are the reason. So what do you need to change in yourself in order for that behavior not to happen? And this is what you need to work on the behavior. The outcome of not eating late or overeating or overdrinking. This behavior will fall off once you build the skill of managing yourself and doing the thing that you must do, even when you don't feel like doing that.
Speaker 1So you are the problem, or specifically, certain skills that you don't have, and that is your log. If you have a body of water, like a river, and you have a bunch of logs there and they stop the water from freely flowing, it would just flow if you took the logs away. So what are your logs that don't allow your success to flow like the water after the rain, like the water in the river, when you remove all the logs. So what are your logs? What are the things that are in the way of your success, blocking your success to just flow freely? Why am I not there already? And more often than not, it's not the things that we got to do. It's things that prevent us from doing that, internally or externally. So remove the barriers and success will flow so much easier.
Speaker 1And this is the bridge gap method. Hundreds of clients succeeded with that and that's what I'm going to be doing today. $1 million consultancy is my goal by the end of this year, starting with $4,000 or $5,000 monthly from clients and a couple of corporate clients that I've already gotten in 2024. So I got some foundation going there and this is my goal and this is the question I'm going to be asking myself. So this is the state of 2026 beginning. So what do I need to do? Skills to like wire knowledge, clients to sign up, systems, methods, tools, internal barriers, what I need to work on to make that happen. That's a question that I'm going to be answering right now, and also this is the question that's going to be a part of our group discussion.
Speaker 1Change Yourself is the group that I've created at Alex Hormozy School, the link to our community, change Yourself and our first community call. This Friday, 6 pm European time, 11 am in New York and 8 am Pacific time, we're going to gather with a few change agents. That is the first community call, the first ever for 2025.
