Today on The Jess Lewis show I’m talking about why having systems and routines is essential to success. In order to achieve our goals and create the life we want we need to build systems that allow us to stay on top of our tasks, effectively met deadlines and reduce stress through automation. Without systems in place we become reactive and will likely see short term results verses experiencing long-term sustainable success.

Today on episode #13 of The Jess Lewis Show I’m talking about a goal setting epiphany I just had last week. As the saying goes “energy flows where attention goes” and I realized my monthly goals & weekly action steps are basically a to-do list which is NOT a bad thing. It’s our day to day life that leads to us manifesting our goals. Those boring, mundane tasks become our lifestyle and who we are. So if you want to change things and reach your goals, focus on your daily to do list!

Today on The Jess Lewis Show Episode #12, I’ve got a short & sweet homestead update for you on our baby chicks and then I dive into my approach to health & fitness. Most people that reach out about working with me have had a mainstream fitness experience aka “eat less, move more” and expect me to follow the same protocol. But after over 15 years of work as a coach it’s become clear to me that mainstream health & fitness doesn't work and most people need to focus on lifestyle, habits ...

Tune into today’s episode to hear more about why I left fitness and started “farming”....

Let's be honest we all live pretty comfortable lives! We have climate controlled homes, cars and offices. We have refrigeration, comfy couches & beds, and can shop without leaving our house. While I love all our modern conveniences, I've come to realize how they have also made us "soft" as a society. Unless you are a farmer or manual labor worker, the idea of working with your hands & spending all day outdoors in the heat or cold is a foreign concept. One of the main things I've learned ...

Today I'm updating you on my home buying process and sharing my thoughts on success. I often see people set broad, undefined goals only to very quickly find themselves defeated, frustrated and experiencing minimal progress. I think its essential we get incredibly more specific with our goals and paint a picture of what our lives will look like once we reach them so we can reverse engineer our process. Our success is dependent on us closing the gap between where we are now and where we want to be...
