Welcome to It's a Good Life, the podcast for entrepreneurs, where it's all about growing yourself and your business.

Here's your host, founder of America's largest business coaching company, Brian Bafini.

Well, the top of the morning to you, welcome to It's a Good Life. In fact, top of the year to you.

This is the one that more people tune into every year than any other. And that's why today's

episode is called a fresh start. I don't know about you, but I'm a golfer. And sometimes you'll start

out, and I don't know why it's almost irrational. You might have a bad first nine.

And I don't know why we don't feel like a fresh start on the eighth or the seventh or the sixth,

and maybe that's what Tiger Woods does. But all of a sudden, I'll make the turn, as they say,

and I'm like, okay, let's have a good back nine. And that's a small example of what we feel

after the holidays. We all know we have family, we have

rich foods, we have celebrations, we have whatever. For some people, it's not the happiest time

year. But we all get through the holidays one way or the other. And then here comes the new year.

And there's just this sense of hope. There's a sense of optimism. And we have this hope for ourselves.

And so that's why this podcast is so important. It's why you guys tune in in such record

numbers. And so today is called a fresh start. And I'm hoping that today we can give you some

information that will be a fresh start. I also have a fresh start

with our relationship. Many of you have been listening to this podcast for years and years,

and you've heard hundreds of episodes. Some of you are newer to our audience. And we love doing

this. We believe it's a privilege to come into your homes, to be on your workouts with you.

Some of you, we're on your walk with your dog.

Some of you're driving into work, all kinds of other ways that people consume the podcast.

And I have a very special announcement at the end of the broadcast today. So tune in.
