When life feels busy but strangely unfulfilling, it’s easy to miss what’s really off track. In this mentorship episode with Joey Toth, participants sat down with the Wheel of Balance and got brutally honest about where they actually stand in life. By rating key areas—like health, money, relationships, and purpose—they stopped guessing and started seeing patterns that were quietly holding them back. It wasn’t about judgment or fixing everything overnight. It was about clarity. Real growth came from facing the numbers, naming what felt off, and making one clear choice to move forward. Sometimes progress starts with a pen, a circle, and the courage to get real.

Quotes:

• "When we fail, we fail forward. We learn something from it. When we stumble, we get ourselves back up."
• "Shift that mindset by saying, I get to, not I have to. I get to be healthy. I get to spend time with my kids. I get to be a powerful individual."
• "We see the good in everybody else. We see the good in others and acknowledge the good and the great—but it's very hard for us to come back and do that same thing for ourselves."

Key Takeaways:

• Create your personal Wheel of Balance, rating satisfaction in key areas from 0-10 and identifying specific steps to improve low-scoring sections.

• Block out 1 hour daily for personal growth - read, meditate, or reflect on self-development without distractions.

• Write down what "fully satisfied" looks like in each life area, then outline 3 concrete actions to move closer to that vision.

• Practice shifting your mindset from "I have to" to "I get to" when approaching challenges or personal goals.

• Find an accountability partner who can support your growth and help you stay committed to your personal development objectives.

Conclusion:

Real growth happens when we take a clear, honest look at all parts of our lives—work, health, relationships, and more—and notice where things feel off. The Wheel of Balance helps break this down, showing where we might need to make small but meaningful changes. It's not about fixing everything at once or aiming for perfection. Progress comes from regular reflection, adjusting our mindset, and being willing to act, even in small ways. Over time, these steps help bring our lives more in line with what truly matters to us.
