Summary
In this episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly challenges you to think about what "muscles" you're building in your business and life, and which ones you're allowing to atrophy.
Kelly shares personal stories that highlight how habits form by either default or design, and why intentionality is key if you want to build the life, business, and relationships you truly desire.
You'll learn how to identify which areas of your life need investment, which ones may need to be intentionally let go, and which skills and resources you should start building now for the future you want to create.

| 0:09.9 | business and leadership lessons to help you build a sustainable business that scales. |
| 0:15.7 | Lead with integrity and create a lasting legacy. |
| 0:20.1 | I'm Kelly Roach, former NFL cheerleader and Fortune 500 executive |
| 0:23.9 | turned eight-figure entrepreneur. Let's get started. Welcome back to the Kelly Roach show. I'm so |
| 0:31.0 | happy to be here with you all today. And we are going to dig into really looking at what muscles we are building in this season of |
| 0:42.1 | business and life. And I want to pull this forward for you today because it's so important |
| 0:49.7 | to recognize that just like a business that's not growing will by default go backwards because |
| 0:58.0 | it's not going forwards and because inflation is increased and costs are increased and |
| 1:02.6 | you know all of these things that will happen you know it's the same idea with life with |

| 1:46.2 | And so he said, you know, so I asked another question, what happens if you don't innovate, right? |
| 1:51.1 | Just like, what happens if you plan a garden and you leave it to its own, right? |
| 1:57.0 | Well, if you leave a garden to its own, everything grows, including weeds, which will kill |
| 2:01.8 | all of the beautiful flowers and fruit and vegetables. And so everything in the garden will be |
| 2:07.6 | destroyed. And so I think it's a really important conversation to bring here to the podcast |
| 2:12.6 | because we live in a world where so many things are being brought into our daily existence, |
| 2:20.1 | whether we choose them or not. |
