Breakthroughs are transformative moments that shape and empower our lives. These breakthroughs often come when we challenge our limits, confront our fears, and find the strength to overcome challenges. This week, we continue to explore the journey of breakthroughs in leadership growth and the pursuit of dreams. During John’s lesson, he shares the remaining 4 breakthroughs everyone needs to experience to reach success.

Mark Cole and Traci Morrow cover why self-care is paramount for leaders to effectively take care of others. Mark shares the importance of working from a place of rest instead of resting from a place of work—a crucial mindset for any leader’s mental health. Traci highlights one challenge faced by many leaders — the temptation to serve from an empty cup — and how self-care helps us serve others better. You’ll also hear how one 76-year-old proved there's no finish line in dreaming.

So, in this episode, we're revisiting a lesson where John generously shares his step-by-step process for this year in review. It's a guide that has helped him make pivotal decisions in both life and business, and we're thrilled to pass on this invaluable practice to you.
