Tired of Plateauing? The DREAM Ladder Changes Everything | #22

In December 2022, I wrote a single sentence in my diary: "I want to double my income in the next two years". By January 2024, I achieved exactly that. This isn't just about money—it's about *the D.R.E.A.M Ladder* framework I used for significant career growth and income growth. This motivational video outlines the 5 shifts - *The D.R.E.A.M Ladder* - that helped me stop playing small and start leading with calling, emphasizing the importance of goal setting to achieve your dream career. It's about professional growth and embracing high-performance leadership.In this 60-minute masterclass, I break down the 5 specific shifts - *The DREAM Ladder* - that allowed me to move from a stable operative role to a high-impact executive position:1. *Disrupt the Default*: Why you must stop following the "automatic" career path.2. *Reduce to Regain Freedom*: How simplifying your current lifestyle buys you the risk-capital needed for your future.3. *Enter a Bigger Room*: Why changing your environment (like my move from Aberdeen to Sunbury) is faster than learning a new skill.4. *Ask for Alignment*: The art of negotiating for the role you were meant for, not just the one that is available.5. *Move Toward Your Calling*: How to choose the path that makes you "larger inside," even if it looks smaller on paper.You’ll also hear the real backstory behind the “audacious moves” that shaped my career path — from environment shifts, to disruption during uncertainty, to choosing identity over comfort when two doors looked good.✅ Take the 7-day challenge: Pick one *D.R.E.A.M* step and take action in the next 7 days. Your direction will shift — not because of this video, but because you chose a new pattern.QUESTION: What’s one dream you’ve quietly parked — and which *D.R.E.A.M* step are you taking this week?00:00:00 Is your career just "fine" and "good enough"?00:00:49 Why am I doing this?00:02:34 That journal entry - I want to double my income00:07:20 D = Disrupt the default (COVID cancellation)00:11:04 R = Reduce to regain freedom (downsizing)00:03:16 E = Enter a bigger room (Aberdeen → Sunbury)00:16:17 A = Ask for alignment (reorg + London trading role)00:20:53 M = Move toward Your Calling (Two good doors)00:25:45 The D.R.E.A.M Ladder explained00:28:40 From 2x to 10x: Dreaming without Limits00:31:40 7-day D.R.E.A.M exercise (your next step)00:32:19 Q&A (coaching investment, bigger room timing, ambition, “how”)00:32:30 Is it worth paying for a coach?00:35:38 How do I know when to move to a bigger room?00:40:16 How do I turn my dreams into something real and logical?00:45:04 What if people think I am too ambitious?00:48:55 How can I become more confident?00:52:30 Closing challenge + “In 2026 I’m choosing to…”✨ Visit here to download the free AI-powered career one-pager guide. https://thefacelesscoach.kit.com/products/the-ai-powered-career-one-pager-guide⭐⭐⭐Audio Podcast is currently on your favourite platforms:Spotify:http://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thefacelesscoach🔗 Stay Connected With Me.- Join the Movement: https://www.thefacelesscoach.com/join- Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanedet/ - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFacelessCoach- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thefacelesscoach=============================🎬Suggested videos for you:▶️ https://youtu.be/zVPMaeVkMog▶️ https://youtu.be/eMEP2AwJ6R8▶️ https://youtu.be/BRs3t1iFd-E ▶️ https://youtu.be/OXZWMH20X8k▶️ https://youtu.be/KCjqWNDuqaM▶️ https://youtu.be/CPxBBe5OP08=================================#personaldevelopment #careerstrategy #dreamagain #TheFacelessCoach #dreamladder

The Real Reason Champions Crash After Success (And how to fix it) | #21

If you're a busy professional or parent who's ever crashed right after a big win, this episode offers crucial motivation. That crash usually isn't your body failing; it's your mind losing the feeling, despite the initial inspiration. This video provides valuable insights into maintaining your drive, fostering better mental health, and cultivating motivation for success beyond initial achievements. It's truly a best motivational video for anyone looking to build endurance and consistent effort.I used to think hitting 500 pushups once proved I was disciplined. In this episode, I share how I stayed consistent after 500 pushups when the high faded and motivation disappeared. You’ll see how a simple “return protocol” helped me keep going long after the big win stopped feeling special.In this video, we’ll unpack:- The crash after a big win – why progress often stalls right after the breakthrough- Excitement vs endurance – how to stay consistent when motivation fades and the feeling is gone- The Return Protocol – a simple way to design your way back in on hard days- The real cost of discipline – why repetition becomes proof of who you’re becomingThis isn’t really about fitness or 500 pushups. It’s about the kind of person you’re building when nobody’s watching — in your work, your family, and your private promises to yourself.If the high has faded but the work still matters, this episode will help you carry that cost without quitting every time it gets heavy.🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFacelessCoach?sub_confirmation=1🎧 Listen on the podcast:Spotify: http://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thefacelesscoach🔗 Stay connected:Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7392271656255164416LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanedetFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thefacelesscoach/Watch next (related episodes):https://youtu.be/doP41Hg2Owk?si=DU7HNh2lFtMMvxEzTimestamps / Chapters00:00 The crash after a big win00:55 When 500 stopped feeling special02:00 Discipline from a distance vs living inside it02:30 Shift 1 – From excitement to endurance03:00 Shift 2 – Building the “Return Protocol”04:22 Shift 3 – Reframing the cost of discipline05:10 Two questions for your own journey05:28 What’s next in Part 3 + CTAHashtags: #Consistency #Discipline #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #mentorship #TheFacelessCoach✨ Visit here to download the free AI-powered career one-pager guide. https://thefacelesscoach.kit.com/products/the-ai-powered-career-one-pager-guide⭐⭐⭐Audio Podcast is currently on your favourite platforms:Spotify:http://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thefacelesscoach=============================🎬Suggested videos for you:▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMEP2AwJ6R8 ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEE8mDUisf8 ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3H_a74oNCE ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn5Xk1Pnc_Q ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfA_8noTwyc =================================VP7EZDDPK1LJ6QVB

Stop Majoring on the Minors: Managing Up to Get High-Impact Work

Managing up isn’t politics—it’s alignment. In this episode I share the one sentence that moved me from “busy and invisible” to high-impact work that actually shows up in a performance review.If you’ve ever worked hard, delivered, and still missed the mark at review time, this is your reset. I’ll show you how managing up—clarifying priorities and making a respectful, specific ask—can move you from “useful” to visible. You’ll see the exact moment I realised I’d been majoring on the minors, the sentence I used to land a stretch assignment, and a 4-shift framework you can copy this week.You’ll learn to:• Decode what your boss (and their boss) actually cares about• Ask for a higher-value project with a word-for-word script• Budget time like money to protect high-impact blocks• Show your scoreboard so progress is legible to decision-makersThe turn in my year wasn’t louder hustle—it was alignment.

Quantify Your Achievements: 3 Metrics to Get You Noticed At Work

Ever felt overlooked at work despite delivering results? Learn how to quantify your achievements using three key numbers – so your true value stands out and gets the recognition it deserves. This episode unpacks a simple framework to turn your work into a scoreboard others can’t ignore.• Why you’re being missed: The #1 mistake that keeps your value hidden (and how to fix it by adding the right metrics).• The 3 types of “career numbers”: How Money, Scale, and Impact metrics instantly prove your worth – from dollars saved to decisions influenced.• Find your three numbers: Step-by-step ways to calculate your achievements (even if your role seems intangible) and what to do if data is confidential (hint: use ranges or estimates – never leave it blank).• Open new doors: How showcasing these numbers on your résumé, LinkedIn, or in meetings changes how bosses perceive you – leading to faster promotions, better opportunities, and greater confidence in your role.By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear, data-driven story of your career. I learned firsthand that if you don’t put a number on your impact, others will guess – and they’ll usually guess low. Don’t let your hard work fly under the radar. It’s time to create the narrative where your results speak louder than your humble job title. Excellence might open the first door, but visibility (through numbers) keeps opening the rest.🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more updates.https://www.youtube.com/@TheFacelessCoach⭐⭐⭐ Audio Podcast is currently on your favorite platforms:Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thefacelesscoach/🔗 Stay Connected With Me:Newsletter: https://www.thefacelesscoach.com/joinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanedetFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonathanedet/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathanedet🎥 Watch Next:- Episode 1 – Hard Work Won’t Get You Promoted – Do THIS Instead!
