    • #129 Why Pressure Matters More Than Your Million Dollar Goal
      Feb 18 2026

      What actually changes you when you set a bold goal?

      Is it the number?

      Or is it the pressure that goal creates?

      In this return episode of Your Truth Shared, Finola shares what shifted when she took her Million Dollar ambition seriously — not as a vision board idea, but as a real commitment.

      This isn’t a revenue report.

      It’s a leadership reset.

      You’ll hear what the pressure of a bold goal revealed:

      • The hidden gap between potential and habit

      • Why staying “comfortable” can quietly limit scale

      • How fragmentation stalls growth

      • And why building an offer ecosystem — not just selling more — is the real lever for expansion

      If you know you’re capable of more but haven’t fully reached for it, this episode will meet you there.

      🎧 What You’ll Walk Away With

      By the end of this episode, you will:

      ✔ Understand how bold goals expose growth gaps
      ✔ Recognise where habit may be limiting your scale
      ✔ See why scale requires integration, not just effort
      ✔ Learn what an “offer ecosystem” really means for service-based businesses
      ✔ Shift from fragmented selling to customer-led, compounding growth

      This episode isn’t about chasing a million.

      It’s about what happens when you stop protecting yourself from your own potential.
