Every success story starts with chaos. Does your to-do list feel like quicksand, pulling you deeper the harder you work? You’re not alone—and there’s a way out. Achieving clarity and creating systems that work for you isn’t magic—it’s methodical. And I’m here to guide you through it.
Step 1: Identify the Pain Points and the Dream
Every transformation starts with a simple conversation. I ask two key questions: What’s driving you crazy? and How do you want to feel when this is done? This process is about untangling what isn’t working and dreaming about what could/will be. Think of it as clearing the clutter to make room for your masterpiece.
Take Mary Jane, a realtor juggling properties across five tax jurisdictions. She felt like her processes were running her life instead of the other way around. Her project—dubbed "Same-Day Close"—was all about simplifying her workflow to make her business run smoothly. Or Drew, who was thriving on paper but felt completely lost internally, trapped in a loop of "What if I fail?" For both, the first step was clarity—naming the problem and imagining a better future.
Step 2: Reframe the Opportunity and Name the Campaign
Here’s where the magic begins: we reframe the frustration as opportunity. Together, we package the solution into a campaign with a concise, catchy name—a guiding light for the journey ahead.
For Drew, it was about recalibrating his internal compass and redefining what success looked like for his family business. For Mary Jane, "Same-Day Close" transformed chaotic workflows into simple, sustainable systems. Each project becomes more than a goal—it’s a mission.
Step 3: Anchor the “Why” and Prepare for Resistance
Change is never linear. It’s a lot like learning a new language—messy at first, but incredibly rewarding over time. That’s why we anchor ourselves with a powerful "why." This isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s the driving force that keeps you going when the going gets tough.
Resistance, whether internal or external, is part of the process. I remind my clients that this too shall pass. It’s a necessary part of becoming the person you want to be. The patience of a farmer is key: tend to your goals daily, and watch them grow.
Step 4: Focus on Yourself First
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Change demands energy, focus, and consistency—things that are impossible if you’re running on fumes. That’s why the strongest hours of your day belong to YOU.
Drew’s breakthrough came when he started prioritizing quality sleep, physical activity, and intentional visualization. Drew knew he needed to rebalance, but this required the precision of a surgeon. So, aptly while chronically exhausted, he did not have the time or inclination to make changes to something that, if done wrong, would have disastrous tax ramifications. With renewed vigor because of better personal habits, not only was he able to execute this, but he also transformed into the person who attracted the woman of his dreams. Be prepared to be amazed how your life unfolds, one thing has a tendency to lead to another.
Drew reflects: "Glen is more than a great life coach. He’s a real, down-to-earth person, who partnered with me to help me achieve my goals. With his help, I simplified my approach to life and was able to focus on what is truly important. I’m taking care of myself physically and mentally, and I married the woman of my dreams. At the same time, I’ve successfully increased my fees and income while cutting my working hours by a third. The results have been fantastic with a work/life balance I could only have dreamed of a few short years ago."
Step 5: Celebrate Tiny Wins and Repeatable Skills
Big results start small. Whether it’s flossing one tooth or automating one repetitive task, celebrating progress—even tiny steps—builds momentum. When Mary Jane automated her short-term rental onboarding process, she went from hours of manual work to just 30 seconds. These small victories added up, reinforcing that change is not only possible but also sustainable.
Mary Jane shares: "Working with Glen has been an absolute game-changer for my business. As a realtor and entrepreneur managing a vacation rental business, a home office, and four real properties across multiple tax districts, I was drowning in administrative complexities. The sheer effort required to consolidate reports and close out processes left little room to focus on growth or innovation.
Through Glen’s thoughtful approach and unparalleled expertise, we developed an accounting structure that not only handles the complexity of my business but does so in a way that feels sustainable and repeatable. The reusable consolidation templates he introduced transformed my same-day close process into a seamless, value-added system. For the first time, my reports deliver timely insights that help guide my decision-making and give me financial clarity and peace of mind.
What really stood out was Glen’s patience and respect for my unique challenges. He didn’t just offer solutions; he empowered me to understand and trust the process. The confidence I now have in my systems has freed up time and mental space to focus on what matters most—growing my business and serving my clients. I am grateful for Glen’s services and the progress I have made this past year by working with him."
Step 6: Practice Relentless Consistency
Consistency beats intensity. Seasoned veterans of change understand this: working on something daily, even briefly, creates lasting results. For newcomers, the focus is on creating habits so small they’re impossible to fail. The goal? Progress over perfection.
Think of each effort as a drop of water filling a bucket. Every drop counts, and over time, the bucket will overflow. Your small, consistent actions pave the way for significant transformation.
Ready to Create Your System?
The process of change may be messy, but with the right tools, it becomes manageable—and even enjoyable. Like Mary Jane, you can turn chaos into clarity. Like Drew, you can transform reactive hustle into intentional creation.
Imagine reclaiming your mornings, loving the work you do, and still having energy for family dinners. This transformation is within your reach.
The tangible results are clear. Take control of your schedule and undertake the foundational changes your business needs to get hours, days, and weeks back. Simply having confidence in your ever-expanding abilities is the key to getting there.
