Navigating Life with Principles Over Feelings

In this episode of Growth Notes, Frazier encourages listeners to reflect on their past week by scoring their efforts and emphasizes the fresh start each new week provides. The core discussion centers on the importance of adhering to principles over fluctuating feelings in both life and business. Frazier highlights the steady nature of principles like discipline, integrity, consistency, and accountability, contrasting them with the inconsistency of emotions. He challenges listeners to make decisions based on their principles rather than their moods, to achieve steadier and more consistent results.

Today’s Growth Note centers around a brutal truth:

Time is limited, and every day spent living someone else’s dream is a day you don’t get back.

Frazier unpacks the real meaning behind working with urgency. It’s not about rushing. It’s about refusing to waste time on paths that don’t belong to you. Too many people drift through life, choosing safety, approval, or other people’s opinions over their own purpose. They trade boldness for comfort, and later, they trade dreams for regret.

High performers live with urgency because they understand time is a non-renewable resource. They don’t wait for permission. They don’t follow trends. They move with intention, clarity, and ownership.

Key Takeaways:

• Living for others’ approval is the fastest way to waste your life.
• Time doesn’t pause for fear, doubt, or hesitation.
• Urgency means taking ownership, not rushing.
• You only get one shot. Make sure it’s yours.

Challenge of the Day:

Ask yourself:
Am I living my dream or someone else’s version of it?

If the answer isn’t crystal clear, take action today to realign.
Even one bold step toward your own path is better than 1,000 safe ones on someone else’s.

📅 Live with urgency. Not stress. Not fear. But full ownership of the time you’ve got.

Fresh off a full day of breakthrough coaching calls, Frazier brings a direct message for anyone feeling stuck or playing small:
The safe path doesn’t lead to greatness.

Whether it’s fear, comfort, or the illusion of certainty, many loan officers default to the well-worn, predictable route. But that path may keep you protected—and it may also keep you average.

Today’s Growth Note is a wake-up call. Real growth, innovation, and breakthroughs are found on the unbeaten road, the one that’s uncertain, uncomfortable, and often avoided. The greats you admire didn’t follow the crowd. They bet on themselves. And that’s exactly what you need to start doing.

Key Takeaways:

• The safe path protects you from failure but also from growth.
• Extraordinary results require uncommon choices.
• Most people avoid uncertainty. Winners embrace it.
• You can’t become exceptional by doing what’s expected.

Challenge of the Day:

Take inventory:

• Where in your life or business are you playing it safe?
• What would it look like to take one small step toward the riskier, bolder move?

Remember: Greatness doesn’t come from comfort. It comes from the courage to bet on yourself.
