When it comes to leading another, we have to embrace what leadership is at its core. It&#39;s leading someone to their highest potential for the betterment of themselves the overall mission they are a part of. When we focus on the betterment of someone, we take ourselves and our hopes out of it, and instead place what theirs are. People are persuaded by their influences, not by what you believe they should be influenced by. When we align with what someone needs and wants, and follow the other tips in this episode, we can help people achieve far more on their own than they ever would by themselves.  ﻿Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_ Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.

Taking the easy route may provide immediate gratification, but it often leads to mediocrity in the long run.

In this episode, Chris explores the difference between complacency and contentment, and the impact each can have on our success journey. While complacency can lead to stagnation and a lack of motivation, contentment can be a powerful attribute that keeps us grounded and grateful for what we have. We discuss how contentment allows us to appreciate the present moment and the progress we have made, without becoming too comfortable or settling for less than we deserve. We also explore how contentment can lead to a positive mindset, increased resilience, and a greater sense of fulfillment in our personal and professional lives.

We sit down with Coach Josh Clouden as he explains his philosophies on people, God and finishing the journeys you start. Josh gives us a great quote about falling in love with the process and detaching from the result. The more we lock in on the day-to-day process, the result will form itself.

Starting is always easier than finishing. It takes self-discipline, persistence and patience to see something through to its end. One of the most important aspects of finishing is remembering why you started in the first place. The &#34;why&#34; behind our actions is the fuel and reminder for when we feel like quitting. Learn more in depth the why that you should be thinking about and find a routine around reminding yourself of it every day.  ﻿Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_ Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.

In this episode, Chris delves into the transformative power of habit stacking. Habit stacking is a simple yet effective technique that involves linking new habits to existing ones, and creating a seamless routine that can lead to significant positive changes in your life. We often make the mistake of adding too many habits or too drastic of changes to our routines all at once.

Many people start in January and quit by February. In this episode, we will introduce our next series titled Finish What You Start. We&#39;ll learn from Joshua Paul with his understanding of persevering through hard times, how to remain bold and courageous during adversity, and embracing the idea of giving to those who experience similar hardships as you.  ﻿Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_ Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.

We use all the biggest lessons we&#39;ve learned from January to propel us forward into this new month with strength and momentum. It is often times when we fail, that we become too discouraged to keep trying. The greatest thing we can do is expect that the journey of success will be bumpy with both low and high moments, so we mustn&#39;t be surprised when either come. All we can do is reassess, revaluate what we once believed and learned, and make the proper changes TODAY! Enjoy this month of February as we step into the next level of our growth.  Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_ Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.

There is a common joke about the attendance of gyms in the month of January in comparison to the rest of the year. Most people love to start things, very few love to finish. And when the new year comes around, many people start things that they really want to, but forget about the goal after a few weeks of trying it. In today&#39;s episode we will reassess our goals, analyze how they are going, and create the path for where they need to go moving forward. You can&#39;t grow in an area that you don&#39;t consistently measure, and we will measure the progress from month 1 of this year, to chart the path forward for February.  ﻿Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_ Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.

We hear from Jasmine Ingram as she teaches us to turn our pain into purpose and allow it to mold us into the person God is calling us to be. She also shares the power of vulnerability and allowing your story to be a testimony for the inspiration of others. Finally, Jasmine speaks on the importance of faith, the holistic change we can all make this year, and the importance of keeping an empowering community.  Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_ Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.

It is vital for your success to establish a strong and healthy foundation for your life. Just as a building needs a solid base to stand the test of time, our lives also require a sturdy foundation to support our growth, resilience, and overall well-being. In this episode, Chris helps you identify what your life is currently built upon and if it is in fact reliable, or if you need to replace with something that is. Once you identify your foundation, you will then learn the importance of taking action with it first, immediately after waking up; and the benefits that come from it.  ﻿Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_ Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.

There are physical and mental benefits that come from fasting. The physical benefits are endless, and absolutely everyone should consider removing food for a set period of time to experience those benefits. There are also many mental benefits that come as well. The idea of controlling our impulses like the impulse to eat, can lead to a much stronger level of self-discipline and control that can benefit you across your life. Chris also identifies how you can partake in this idea of fasting and what would be best for you to remove so that you can experience these benefits as well.  ﻿Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_ Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.

Time is so valuable. How we use our time, the productive or not productive things we give it to will decide the destination our lives arrive at. In this episode, we identify some of the biggest time wasters that are limiting your potential and identify how to remove/limit them. It&#39;s such a vital part of the journey. Removing the things that are holding you back, so that you can replace them with more positive, focused items. Seems simple, hopefully this episode will make it even simpler.

We all have the excitement that comes with a fresh start. The turning of a page, the opening of a chapter and I think we all share the same excitement that comes on the first day of a new year. We all need a vision for 2024, something that excites us and gets us going. And once we have that vision, we need a plan for execution. We must execute by identifying the things that will propel us forward and start limiting or removing things that hold us back.Follow Chris on Instagram at _mazzara_Receive 15% off Chris’ personal or professional coaching services by visiting <a href="https://www.mazzara.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mazzara.co/</a> and by mentioning the 4 AM Motivations Podcast.
