Welcome back to the Be More Lobster podcast! In this episode, I dive deep into the real starting point for creating change—not by doing something different, but by being someone different. I share my personal 5S Formula for personal transformation, which is foundational for achieving results more quickly, with more fun, and less stress.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Why "be someone different" is more powerful than "do something different" and how your current self creates your current results.
• The 5S Formula for personal transformation:
  • Space: Why you must create space—physically, mentally, emotionally—before bringing in something new and what you might need to let go of.
  • Schedule: How scheduling freedom and values into your life gives you more control and focus.
  • Support: The power of asking for help, getting the right emotional, practical, and coaching support, and how doing so changed my own life and relationships.
  • Standards: Raising your standards for yourself, your relationships, your business, and your well-being to drive change.
  • Self-Concept: The importance of who you are being—how your beliefs about yourself influence everything you do and achieve.

I use the analogy of a circle with three triangles (space, schedule, support) surrounded by further rings (standards and self-concept) to illustrate how these elements interplay and lead to deep transformation.

Key Takeaways

• Who you are being informs what you are able to create.
• Lasting change comes from shifting your self-concept and raising your standards—not just adjusting your actions.
• Creating space and scheduling intentionally aren’t restrictive—they’re liberating.
• Support is vital, and it’s powerful to both ask for and offer it.
• Your business outcomes are a direct extension of your personal growth.
