ARE YOU WILLING TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME EVERYTHING YOU SAID YOU'D BE?

I'M WON'T TELL YOU THAT IT'S EASY.
IT'S NOT.
BUT IT IS SIMPLE.

I'M HERE TO HELP YOU GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY.

ARE YOU READY TO CALM THE CHAOS & DO WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME EVERYTHING YOU SAID YOU'D BE?

I WON'T TELL YOU THAT IT'S EASY - IT'S NOT.
BUT IT IS SIMPLE.

I'M HERE TO HELP YOU GET OUT OF 
YOUR OWN WAY

Any (or all) of these... you?

  • You’re a high-achiever who has seen degrees of success in your business but something feels disconnected - the purpose, fulfillment, and passion are severely lacking... and not just in your work - keeping you stuck in repetitive cycles.
  • ​You want to feel validation, internal approval, and successful when you are impacting lives, hitting goals, and making progress... but it's never enough. Or you simply self-sabotage the process with of negative self-talk, doubt, worry, or anxiety.
  • ​You're highly empathetic & have a heightened sense of awareness that allows you “read” others and situations exceptionally well, but your lack of clear boundaries leaves you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
  • ​You're a visionary with lots of incredible ideas, but that's it stops. Or, the ideas lead to a pattern of repeatedly starting and stopping... only to lose interest or fail to make measurable progress.
  • ​You're consistent at being "all things" to all people and adaptable in being what others want & need... (do I need to mention masks?)... but there's a voice inside that whispers... "if they only knew the real you".
  • ​You tend to have all the right answers for everyone else... but rarely for yourself. When you're alone, you get stuck in your head which leads to distraction, disengagement, or dissociation.
  • ​You care deeply and you’re a giver. Unfortunately, this means you can tend to overthink, overdo, over-give, over-analyze, over-share, etc... Which leads to you neglecting yourself and the people you care about the most.
  • ​You often feel like you don’t fit in. You see the world differently and often like an outsider because you struggle to feel like you belong.
  • ​You don't call yourself wealthy, even though you know you're in the top percentage of income earners. But you struggle with wondering if you're selfish for wanting more, especially knowing you want to work less so you can have more time with those you love.

MY FRIEND, THIS ISN'T MEANT TO BE TRIAL TO SEE HOW YOU "MEASURE UP" TO ANYONE ELSE.
AND GUILT AND SHAME AREN'T USEFUL.
THIS IS SIMPLY A GLIMPSE INTO THE MIRROR.

But you MUST DECIDE what you're going to do about it. You MUST COMMIT to the process. YOU MUST become the person you said you would be - because right now...

YOU'RE NOT OPERATING AS THAT PERSON

IT'S TIME TO LOOK DEEPER INTO THE MIRROR, FACE THE FACTS, AND CONFRONT THE CHOICES, HABITS, BELIEFS, AND BEHAVIORS THAT ARE HOLDING YOU BACK FROM FULFILLMENT, SUCCESS, AND ALIGNED ABUNDANCE.

THE PROBLEMS THAT HOLD LEADERS BACK FROM BECOMING EVERYTHING THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE.

I’m sure you’ve heard people say that you need their special “secret” to win in life. Let me let you in on a little secret… 
The secret to lasting success and aligned abundance isn’t a secret. Unfortunately most people can’t see it because it’s 
staring back at them in the mirror.

Here's the hard truth:

  • No one is coming to save you or fix your problems. If the results you're getting and the answers you're finding aren't solving those problems, you're asking the wrong questions.
  • You don't know what you don't know and you can't see what you can't see. This is why you need someone in your corner who can see from an outsider's perspective.
  • More money, sex, or time won't fill the void caused by bad habits, lack of discipline, or procrastination.
  • ​Your business and personal problems are nothing more than results from your current choices, beliefs, habits, and actions.
  • You know that your performance skyrockets when you feel responsible or accountable to someone who believes in you and wants you to win. Without this, you settle or stagnate.
  • ​Cultivating deep connection, peace, and fulfillment requires shifting your perspective and developing your emotional, spiritual, and physical awareness. You must change if you want things around you to change.

MEET THE FIERCE EMPATHY COACH, DAVID WALDY

Hey there, I'm David.

I asked my team if they'd let me have a section here to share my heart and a little more of some of my story.

As you've probably already read, I'm a Kansas farm boy at heart as well as a second generation entrepreneur. Around here, we work hard, play hard, laugh a lot, and enjoy sitting on the front porch watching the ducks on the pond.

Let's go back about 15 years.

As I graduated high school, I watching my parents marriage fall apart. I turned down a full-ride academic scholarship and chose to spend two years in a leadership development program, working my way through with various sales jobs and eventually landing a "career worthy" corporate sales position. Over the years that followed, I rose through the ranks, and became a top 1% sales producer in a $400M per year company.

By my late twenties, I finally "made it".

The only problem was, everything I had been conditioned to believe would make feel successful and fulfilled... didn't.

Six-figure Income
Glass Corner Office.
Company Car.
Married w/kiddo.
Beautiful Home.

You get the picture...

But this corporatized "American Dream" had become a complete nightmare. I was 60 pounds overweight, constantly exhausted, working 60-80 hours per week, dealing with suicidal ideation, numbing myself with vices, constantly chasing dopamine, and gradually detaching and dissociating from my family, the world around me, and myself.
Even though I was married to the woman of my dreams and we had been blessed with our first child, I knew there was something extremely wrong. I just didn't know how to admit the truth, fix what was broken, and get the help I needed.

Until one day, I found myself staring in the mirror with a gun in my hand.

I hope to share the full story with you one day.
Suffice it to say, I was given another chance.

God intervened.

I felt him speak and it shook me to my core.

He said,

I am with you and I am for you.
But you have to put in the work required.

I can't do it for you.

YOU GET TO DECIDE.
YOU GET TO COMMIT.
YOU GET TO BECOME.

That was the day I made the decision and committed to the process of becoming the man I said that I would be.

I wish I could say that as of that moment, things started to get better...

They didn't.
Old habits... die hard.

So do limiting beliefs.
So do poor choices, mindsets, and behaviors.
So do doubt, fear, and anxiety.

There was a lot that needed to die in me.
And there was a lot that I had abandoned or forgotten that needed to be resurrected in me.

But I didn't have anyone to guide me.

Over the year to follow, my wife and I suffered through a miscarriage, my pay was cut by $40,000, we buried a close friend, and I went through the worst betrayal of my life.

But I stayed committed.
Micro-improvements, every day.

I become intentional in every area of my life.

Focused on my body, mind, and relationships.
Starting going to the gym.
Taking courses.
Reading personal-development books
Listening to all the podcasts.
Practicing being fully engaged and present with others.

All the while, Investing every spare penny into helping me get past all the collateral damage and humiliating effects of my previous choices, habits, thoughts, and behaviors.

The problem was, I wasn't seeing the results I wanted and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't "working".

So I started asking for help.
I knew I needed someone to guide me. 

I began intentionally pursuing relationships with coaches and mentors who had ACTUALLY CREATED the results I wanted in my life.

I redefined what "success" meant to me and began aligning my habits, choices, beliefs and behaviors with those who I knew were both successful AND fulfilled.

And then, I finally began to see the light again.

I will never forget the words my coach said to me as we sat across the table at our local Mediterranean restaurant. I'd been wallowing in self-pity when she looked me dead in the eyes and said, "David. WHO DO YOU WANT TO BECOME?"

That was it. 

Not a particularly profound question at first glance. Until it hit me.

In that moment, I realized that my life had been on auto-pilot. I was drifting, aimless, and clinging to a lie that said, "when my circumstances change, I'll be ok". 

I realized that my struggle to know WHAT TO DO was because I was asking the wrong questions.

God had given me the power to choose.
But all along I'd been blaming him and the world around me for not showing me WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE.

I didn't realize that it's impossible to live a life filled with purpose, meaning, connection, and alignment until you start asking better questions.

I didn't realize that instead of asking, "What do I need to DO to fix X,Y, & Z", I needed to start asking, "Who do I need to BECOME" to create the results I wanted to see in my life.

It was the first time in my life that I felt like I had permission to define who I wanted to be. 

At first, that felt impossible.
Because I didn't know who I wanted to be.

I didn't even know who I was anymore.

The years of hating myself, disrespecting myself, and breaking trust within myself had fractured parts of me, leaving me ashamed, disgusted, and humiliated at what I had become.

I didn't recognize the man I saw in the mirror.
I didn't know him.
But I still hated him.

With the help of coaches and mentors, I began to see the only path to change was to go within. 

I had to rediscover who I was. 
Who I REALLY was. 

Beneath all the anger, excuses, blame, trauma, and pain. I had to restore friendship and love within myself, for myself and the people I loved.

Over the months to follow, I finally began to shed the baggage, shift my perspective, and let go of the masks, excuses, and blame.

I slowly started to define who I wanted to become as I stopped focusing on what I didn't want, and instead focused on what I did want.

Anything that wasn't aligned with that, had to be addressed, realigned, or eliminated entirely.

I audited my circle of influence.
I had the tough conversations.
I began taking intentional and calculated risks.

It was then I started investing every available bit of time, energy, and money into myself and my future in ways that most of the world might call irrationally insane.

But I was committed to put in the work required. And I knew that it was going to take time.

I slowly stopped resenting myself.
Created and enforced boundaries.
Gave myself permission to dream again.
Gave myself permission to rediscover who I REALLY WAS.

Every day, I began to realign my choices, habits, beliefs, and behaviors with the man I wanted to be.

The husband I wanted to be.
The father I wanted to be.
The friend I wanted to be.

After reinventing myself, rebuilding my family, and redefining what was possible, I started to use these gifts, skills, and tools to help others do the same.

Sure, I can help you fix your business.
That's the easy part.

What I'm more concerned about is your foundations, your family, your freedom, and your future.

Your heart and your head.
Your habits, choices, and perspective.

Do I want you to become extraordinarily wealthy?
Of course I do.

Because I know you want to do a lot of good in this world.

But I don't care how "successful" you are, how much money is in your bank account, or how many awards you've received.

I care about you being fulfilled.
I care about you having peace.
I care about you cultivating deep connection.

I care about the gifts you carry that need to be shared with the world.

We could sit here all day and discuss systems, sales conversions, pricing, procedures, marketing campaigns, KPIs, core values, benchmarks, operational efficiencies, net promoter scores, P&Ls, offer creation, ad spend, and any other "businessy" thing you want...

But it won't matter because these are all symptoms of a deeper issue. Everything rises and falls on leadership and the leader is ALWAYS the bottleneck. 

At home and in the marketplace.  

Until the leader can lead himself/herself, there is no strategy that will provide a successful and lasting solution to the problems they face.

I've been blessed to be able to share this work with thousands of leaders, entrepreneurs, and small business owners around the world.

And I'd be honored to share it with you.

To serve you and guide you.
To ask you the tough questions.
To create a space where you feel known and seen.

And to walk with you as you lean into what is possible as you never stop becoming.

Again, the process isn't easy.
And you will find it uncomfortable.

But it is simple.

I can promise you one thing:
You are the greatest investment you will ever make. Even if you currently think that's a "selfish" thing. Because you are the only one you're guaranteed to spend the rest of your life with.

And when you get better.
Everyone around you benefits.

Your spouse.
Your kids.
Your clients.
Your team.

You becoming the person you want to be, blesses others and makes this world a better place. Sounds pretty unselfish to me.

And it's worth every bit of time, energy, and resource you need to invest in yourself.

Change starts by looking in the mirror.
 
You get to decide. 
You get to commit. 
You get to become. 

I look forward to sharing more with you in the days to come.
