Wendy Holmes spent years believing success had to be slow. Then a lemon tree changed her mind. In this episode — the very first interview of the show — Dave and Jacq Conway sit down with Wendy Holmes, a mindset coach and longtime member of Team Conway, to trace her journey from 24 years of nursing and juggling three jobs as a single mom to building a life and a career she genuinely loves. It's an honest conversation about the inner work behind real transformation, and how much faster it can happen than most of us are taught to believe. Inside the episode: - Why Wendy believed success had to take years — and the moment in Scottsdale that broke that belief for good - The daily practices she credits for stepping into a completely new self-image — and how little time they actually take - The uncomfortable inner reconciling nobody warned her about, including one she never saw coming - What "trusting the material" really means, and why it moved her results faster than she expected "You have to be her first, and then it's followed by the results." — Wendy Holmes 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

What if the reason your goals keep stalling is that they were never really goals — just wants you never committed to? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway unpack what a goal actually is — an idea you've accepted and are willing to sacrifice for — and why that one distinction separates the people who grow from the people who drift. Drawing on Bob Proctor's teaching and their own 30-Day Year framework, they walk through the three kinds of goals and make the case that real growth comes from being drawn out of your current life, not working your way out of it. Inside the episode: - The difference between a want and a true goal — and the single test that tells you which one you actually have - Why Dave measures goals in money, and what your income really reveals about your service - The three types of goals — sustaining, addition, and multiplication — and which one quietly traps you - Why goals are "spiritual seeds," and how to hold your ground when the growth gets uncomfortable "Set goals worth changing for. Get them to inspire you." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

What if purpose isn't something you find — but something you feel? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway reframe purpose — not as a job title or a thing to chase, but as the intangible energy sitting behind every thought, decision, and action. Dave has spent years studying this concept, and he unpacks why it's so misunderstood, so essential, and so often left undefined. Inside the episode: - The difference between generic purpose — the pull toward "more" that everyone feels — and definite purpose, and why confusing the two keeps you stuck - How real clarity on your purpose makes decision-making almost instant - The simple question Dave uses to get anyone's purpose flowing, no big commitment required - What it actually takes to uncover yours — and the one thing most of us never give it "You don't think purpose, you feel purpose." -Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 📘 Download the FREE Visualization Checklist → https://bit.ly/45A9rOP 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

What if the one habit behind every breakthrough isn't working harder — it's learning to ask better questions? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway unpack the habit Dave hands every client first — the practice of questioning — and why it's the quiet engine behind clarity, confidence, and every quantum leap they've made. Inside the episode: - Why your assumptions — not your effort — are usually what's keeping you stuck at your current level - The two questions Dave has asked himself daily for nine years to get a grip on his own thinking - How the right question cuts straight into your paradigm — and why you have to leave space for the answer - The "responsibility pill," the mower nobody wants to drive, and what they reveal about who you're becoming "It's the one habit that makes everything better — but when you ask the question, you'd better be ready for the answer, even if it's the one you don't like." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

You're at the halfway point of the year - are you still locked onto the goal you set in January, or have you quietly drifted off track? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway run the mid-year reset they do every year - the check-in that recalibrates your thinking, recommits you to your goal, and sets you up to finish the year strong instead of scrambling four weeks before December. Inside the episode: - The two kinds of recommitment — one quietly drains your conviction, the other builds mental fortitude like muscle - Why your results flatline the moment your mind fixates on the wrong thing (Jacq says it's true nine times out of ten) - The "coming from the end" exercise Dave calls the single biggest piece of education missing from most people's pursuit of success - When you should change your goal — and when changing it is the mistake that keeps you stuck "Recommitment is discipline. You made a decision at some point, and now you're fighting for that idea to stay in place." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 🧠 Get the FREE Visualization Checklist → https://bit.ly/45A9rOP 💰 Start the FREE Money Momentum Challenge → https://bit.ly/42uzpSJ 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

What looks like talent on stage is almost always something quieter: hours of preparation no one ever sees. In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway unpack preparedness — why the work is always in the prep, and how the habit of preparing (not raw talent) is what creates confidence, professionalism, and the ability to seize an opportunity the moment it appears. In this episode you'll learn: - Why "the work is in the prep" — and how the best performers make the event itself feel effortless - The difference between practice and performance, and the training ratio Dave carried over from sport - How to prepare for high-stakes moments by leading with a feeling instead of a script - The million-dollar opportunity Dave almost missed — and the one thing that let him say yes "The work is in the prep." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

There's a number attached to the beliefs you never actually chose - and once you run it, it's hard to unsee. In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway break down the cost of your paradigm: the belief system running quietly beneath every result you're getting. Dave walks through the exact formula he used to calculate what staying the same was costing him - the month he was earning $5K and set a goal of $100K - and why that gap adds up to tens of millions over a working life. Inside the episode: - Why your beliefs, not your effort, sit on the throne of every result you get - The two simplest ways to catch a limiting belief in the act — watch your results, then watch your reactions - The napkin math that turns "I'll change someday" into a number that's hard to ignore - What actually took Dave 31 months to change — and why it was never really about the money "Either your paradigm's going to program you, or you're going to program your paradigm." -Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 💰 21-Day Money Momentum Challenge → https://bit.ly/42uzpSJ 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

AI can write your emails, build your website, even help edit your book. It still can't do the one thing your whole business actually depends on. In this episode of The 30-Day Year Podcast, Dave and Jacq Conway unpack why, in a world flooded with AI tools, the most valuable asset you own is a clear and disciplined mind. AI is only an amplifier: feed it F-quality thinking and it hands F-quality work right back. The people who pull ahead in this new era are the ones who stay in the driver's seat of their own thinking - even while everything around them gets automated. Inside the episode: - Why "AI slop" is so easy to spot, and the amplifier principle that decides whether you get F-quality or A+ work - The single most important AI skill of the decade (Jacq stops the conversation cold to make sure no one misses it, and it has nothing to do with prompting) - The four things you can never delegate to a person or a machine, and why handing off your desires means handing off your life - What a horse-and-buggy delivery man in 1880 reveals about who wins and who goes broke in the AI race "If you delegate your desires, you're delegating your life." - Dave Conway 🎯 Download your free 30-Day Year Goal-Setting Guide: https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI ➡️ Connect with us: www.conwaymentorship.com

For a mindset company, this is a strange thing to admit: mindset alone won't get you there. In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway make a deliberately contrarian case — that the real divider between people who win and people who don't isn't belief, it's the ability to actually deliver. Skills pay the bills, and your goal has to be big enough to inspire you to master one. Inside the episode: - Why mindset alone leaves most people stuck — even with world-class material - The three years Dave spent mastering one skill before he ever stepped on a stage - How to use grounded visualization to rehearse a skill instead of slipping into delusion - How to choose what to master next based on your top business priority "Masters print their own ticket." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 📋 Get the FREE Visualization Checklist → https://bit.ly/45A9rOP 💰 Take on the Money Momentum Challenge → https://bit.ly/42uzpSJ 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

What if the size of your income was being decided by a law you've never been taught? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway unpack the Law of Compensation - the 184-year-old principle that quietly governs what you earn - and trace it from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, and Bob Proctor. In this episode you'll learn: (1) the three forces that decide your income and why only one is yours to master, (2) what Dave means by "order gets orders", (3) why compounding, not trading dollar for dollar, is the real mathematics of wealth, and (4) how the overlooked "receiving dial" keeps even world-class performers from earning what they're worth. 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com
