0:00.0	As a new year approach, as many people start reflecting on the year that has passed and start thinking
0:05.2	about how they want the next year to be. Imagine if in 2022 you were able to have clarity on what
0:11.5	matters to you and then have the tools to live that out. Imagine if you were able to be the person
0:17.3	you really want to be. That's where I come in. I've helped hundreds of people from around the
0:22.4	world become who they deeply want to be. If you're feeling frustrated or disappointed in your
0:27.6	ability to make changes in your life, then having someone in your corner to support and advise you
0:32.6	is critical. Look, there's a lot of general advice out there. But figuring out which of it
0:38.1	applies to you is difficult. You are different than other people and your life looks different
0:43.6	than other people. So you need solutions that make sense for you. Knowing how to apply certain
0:49.6	tactics and tools to your specific life is my specialty. If you'd like to make 2022 a better year
0:56.7	for you, then book a 30-minute discovery call with me. It's a no-pressure, no-sales call,

1:08.1	ideas to take with you so you win either way. Go to 1ufeet.net slash coaching to book your
1:14.7	free discovery session. That's 1ufeet.net slash coaching to book a free discovery session and I
1:22.4	look forward to meeting you. Happy Holidays, everybody. I wanted to explain to you that we are going
1:28.3	to be re-releasing some of our older, amazing episodes just for a couple weeks while we have some
1:34.2	time off. And in case you're recently joining us as a fan of the 1ufeet podcast or however long
1:39.9	you've been a listener of the show, you may not realize we have over seven years or I think
1:44.4	almost eight at this point of incredible episodes in the archive. We've had so many wonderful
1:49.8	guests that we've decided to hand pick one of our favorites for today that maybe new to you,
1:54.6	but if it's not, it is definitely worth another lesson. We hope you'll enjoy this episode with
1:59.9	Charlie Gilkey. If we're not finishing the work that matters to us, we can get what I call creative
