Finding Peak with Ryan Hanley · Kelly Roach Shares Her SECRET to Business Success · 27 Feb 2025 podcast

And I was willing to pay that price because the life that we live today is so extraordinary. It's everything I dreamed of. It's everything I worked for. And our relationship with our daughter and our relationship with one another is because of those sacrifices that I made for many years leading up to her being where she is now. And when you meet her, every person that meets her is like, what?

Like this girl's 10, right? Because she's been poured into and she's been enriched and she's been developed and she has been just grown and cultivated so intentionally. And so to your point, When we think about our goals and dreams, we have to both think of the things that are absolutes to us that are a part of what we believe is our purpose, our calling, our true reason for being here.

And we have to start calculating the price of what it will cost. And when it's something that is negotiable, that would be nice, that maybe it would fill our ego. Maybe it would fast track our success. Maybe it would be a great feather in our cap. The example for you and I was speaking. We both did the calculation and said, it ain't happening.

Like I was not willing to give up that time with my husband. I wasn't willing to give up that time with my daughter. And only now that we can do that together and make it a family experience. Is that, you know, worth it? So. I think it's both knowing what you don't want.

And for me, coming from a household where my parents were fighting every single day, anxiety, depression, never knowing how they were going to pay the bills. The last thing I want to do is go create wealth for myself, but lose my relationship over it. Like those two things are not incongruent. So I think it's also a big part of this is that

Many people have been taught to look at success in a singular fashion versus in a holistic fashion. Because when we look at success, when you compromise your relationship, your health, other areas of your life in order to get further ahead, What will happen is you will ultimately pay that price. You're just going to be paid the price later. Right.

And so you have to make calculated sacrifices that aren't going to actually be the thing that blows up the thing that you're trying to create. And so this is where taking time to actually really think about what matters to you on a deep level, not on a I want to achieve level. like on a, what do I want my day-to-day life to look like? What do I want my experience of living to be like?

When I accomplish that thing, who do I want to be with? How do I want to feel? What are we going to do together? If you consider all of those implications, it will give you a pretty clear roadmap on what is worth sacrificing and what isn't worth sacrificing. And a lot of times what I see is people are more willing to sacrifice,

their time, their health, their relationship, all of these other areas of life. They're willing to sacrifice those things in an instant, but they're not willing to sacrifice just getting themselves uncomfortable to just do the damn thing that they need to do that's going to get them what they want.

And so there's this massive incongruence between what people say that they want and what they're doing about it. And then they use all these other things as an excuse. So a lot of it is just this radical honesty with ourselves. It's this radical honesty with ourselves.

And I think going back to what you shared about your TED Talk, it's it all starts with the congruence and the alignment of being on this very personal journey, because the only way that you can come to the right conclusions is if you're looking at it through the right lens.

And if you're not looking at it through the right lens, even if you go through the exercise, you won't arrive at the right conclusion, right?

Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, that is such an interesting question. And I love that you asked that. And I don't know that I have the I'm not the almighty with the perfect answer, but I can certainly give a little bit of my opinion on that. You know, I think I think, first of all, we were given our strengths to exploit them. We are given our gifts from God to use them. That is the primary calling of our lives.

So to me, I do feel that our strengths were made our strengths because that is where we are meant to assert our power and invest our energy. So I am very much of the idea that leaning into our strengths is the core of how we achieve success.

However, we all have, and I hate saying the word vice because vice many times is used in the context of like drugs, alcohol, like negative habits, but that's not the same as You could be here using your strengths, but because you don't have organization, you're constantly missing this thing that would take you from here to here, right?

So that's the 20% that we all have to look at to say, okay, 80% of my energy is going to go into maximizing my gifts and deploying my strengths, but I have to pay attention to the 20% that could give me another 80% that I'm ignoring because it's not my natural strength. And that's where I feel like we missed the mark, right?

People either go crazy leaning into their weaknesses and they just feel like a failure all the time because they're actually not operating in their zone of genius. And that's why they're miserable. And that's why they feel unsuccessful because they're actually miserable because they're unsuccessful because they're just not even focused on the right things.

I think that's different from understanding where, and I think for a lot of us, like for you, for example, like you're a business leader, you have a busy family, you're running all over the place with the kids, all these things, like you probably just need someone that you can outsource, like helping you manage your schedule with. And like,

Instead of you trying to become like great at managing your schedule, you just need to get help in that area. And I find that a lot of times for myself and for high powered entrepreneurs that I'm working with in coaching, many times it's an area that we either need the right help or better help in. It's not that we need to become something that we're not.
