This woman decided to defy the odds, to lose weight, and keep it off.

This is a big deal, because statistics show: Research suggests that around 80-90% of people who lose weight will regain it within 1 to 5 years.

and guess what?

Did she do it?

The Be, Do, Have Model

In the typical approach to achieving goals, people often think in terms of “Have.” For example, “I need to have more money so I can do what wealthy people do and then be rich.” But this model suggests that the real game-changer is flipping the script.

Instead, focus on “Be.” Who do you need to be to achieve your goals? If you start by embodying that identity, you’ll naturally begin to “Do” the things that successful people do, and eventually, you’ll “Have” the things you’re aiming for.

Imagine three concentric circles:

• Center Circle: Be
• Middle Circle: Do
• Outer Circle: Have

The core identity (Be) drives what you do (Do), which in turn determines what you have (Have). This model shows that making changes at the identity level can have a profound impact on your actions and outcomes.

Unlocking Identity: The Role of Experience

As a coach, my challenge is to help clients connect with this core identity. The trick lies in tapping into tapping into a very specific type of exercise.

An exercise of experience.

Real, unfiltered experiential moments can awaken a conversion of identity. From that place people can make shifts in who they are. From there, they change what they do, and eventually change what they have.

Your Turn: Shaping Your Ideal Self

Consider an area where your current reality doesn’t quite match up with your ideal self. Maybe it’s how you approach networking, your late-night habits, or how you present yourself to investors. Ask yourself: Who do you need to be to match that ideal version?

By making small adjustments at the identity level, you set the stage for significant changes in your actions and achievements.

Key Takeaway:

I don't know how to guarantee a true identity shift experience. If people did, they would be the best weight loss, business guru, save the world experiences ever.

But, at least we can identify what arena we need to play in to make lasting change?

Weight Loss For Good

You guessed it. She did it. She lost the weight and kept it off. She beat the statistics.

So, what’s her secret? And what can we learn from it?

It’s all about a powerful shift in identity.

What caused it?

I don't know.

Closing Thought:

To a productive week ahead, filled with identity-driven progress and success. Remember, the real change starts from within. Embrace your inner transformation and watch how it influences your external results.
