What I'm Thinking and Working On

A candid solo episode where Geoff shares what's on his mind heading into 2022: dealing with overwhelm, the Stoic 'circle of control' philosophy, and a road-trip metaphor for tackling big goals in small daily steps. Best for LOs who feel paralyzed by how much they want to accomplish this year and need a mindset reset before diving into tactics.

Takeaways you can run this week

• Apply the 'cross-country road trip' rule to your biggest 2022 goal: set a non-negotiable daily minimum action (e.g., 5 calls, 1 piece of content posted, 15 pages read) and do it regardless of how you feel that day.
• Write down your top 3 initiatives for the year, then next to each one list the single smallest repeatable daily action that moves it forward — commit to that action publicly to someone who will hold you accountable.
• Audit what's entering your mind daily (news feeds, group chats, social scrolling) and eliminate or mute one source this week that consistently pulls your attention toward things outside your control.
• Pick up 'The Daily Stoic' by Ryan Holiday — read one entry each morning (takes under 5 minutes) as a mental warm-up before checking email or social media.
• Submit a voice question at AskGeoffAnything.com for a chance to be featured on the podcast and win a swag/coaching prize — a low-effort way to get a personalized answer to your specific marketing challenge.

Worth quoting

“Well-being is realized by small steps, but it is no small thing.”

“Most people overestimate what they can do in a year, but underestimate what they can do in a decade.”
