The 30-Day Year Podcast

Dave Conway went by "Bad Boy Dave" in high school — and he had eight bad habits to break before he ever hit a 30-day year. In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway go through each of those habits, from operating without a clear financial target to judging every decision by its price tag. Dave shares the three inner walls he uses to decide whose thinking gets into his head, why environment is the biggest thing he sees holding people back, and how a savings habit turns compound interest into a way to multiply your income. They close with a simple three-step process to break any bad habit. Inside the episode: • Why a goal you share should spark a clear picture in the other person's mind • The client who mistook professional development for personal development, and what changed once he started working on his mindset • Why you need a wealth goal alongside your 30-day year goal • What Dave told a client who'd spent months hemming and hawing over a purchase "Either you'll break the habit or it'll break you." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI ▶ Subscribe: https://youtube.com/@the30dayyearpodcast?sub_confirmation=1 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

Tanya called in to ask whether her money blocks were really about self-worth. Dave Conway's answer was one she didn't expect — his own block started out spiritual. In this call-in episode, Dave and Jacq Conway coach Tanya, an identity and mindset coach from Queensland, Australia, through the money paradigm she sees in her clients and in herself. Dave shares how he reprogrammed his own beliefs about money, from the night Bob Proctor told him about an infinite supply to the luxury car that exposed a self-worth problem. Then he helps Tanya rewrite a goal he says was quietly opening the door to fear. Inside the episode: • Why setting a big goal reveals beliefs you didn't know you had • What Jacq shouted as Dave walked out the door to a sales meeting he was dreading • The one idea where Dave disagrees with Bob Proctor • The Thomas Troward essay Dave used to reprogram his belief in lack "Fear is the thief of abundance." — Dave Conway 🎙️ Want coaching like this on the air?

Only two of the eight traits Dave Conway's top clients share were there when they started. The other six were built. In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway break down the eight traits every client who has achieved a 30-day year has in common, from an ambition for freedom to the habit of investing in their own mind. Dave explains which traits he sees on day one and which ones are developed inside the mentorship, so you can see where you stand and what to build next. Inside the episode: • The one trait Dave found in every client after more than 3,000 sales calls • What Bob Proctor said when Dave asked him how coachable he was • Why mediocrity can be harder to escape than poverty • Dave's simple definition of intelligence, and what fear does to it • The questions to ask yourself to start building each trait "Poverty needs no plan. Wealth needs a plan." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI ▶ Subscribe: https://youtube.com/@the30dayyearpodcast?sub_confirmation=1 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

What if the only thing standing between you and the business you want is the person you still think you are? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway sit down with Gustavo Dazzo, a former international auditor for Disney who walked away from the "dream job" to go all in on the short-term rental business he built with his wife, Kimberly. With no paycheck and no title to hide behind, Gustavo lost his sense of who he was — until a winter trip to Calgary, a seminar that gave him nightmares, and a decision made in Banff changed the direction of his life. Eighteen months after going all in, he's living his own personal 30-day year and has built a business he describes as stable, relaxed, and no longer chasing anything. Inside the episode: - Why Gustavo says he would have gone back to accounting without changing his self-image - Dave's story of two cabinet makers who never stopped being employees — and what it cost them - The first goal Wendy laughed at, and how raising it cleared the fog - How an analytical skeptic became obsessed with selling, and the one weekly goal he still runs today - What his 8-year-old son is learning by watching his parents change "Flash forward 18 months later, it was all true. It was all about confidence." — Gustavo Dazzo 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI ▶ Subscribe: https://youtube.com/@the30dayyearpodcast?sub_confirmation=1 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

You can have a good life, a career you love, and a family you adore — and still feel a quiet pull toward something more. So what do you do with that? In this episode — the very first call-in show — Dave and Jacq Conway coach a live caller through the block so many high-achievers hit. Carri has spent nearly four decades in law enforcement and always kept a side venture going, but as retirement approaches she can't quite name what she's building toward. What surfaces isn't a lack of drive — it's a lack of clarity, and the guilt that quietly guards a comfortable life. Inside the episode: - Why "wanting more when you already have enough" shows up as guilt — and what that guilt is actually telling you - The two things questioning does that thinking harder never will — one brings clarity, the other cuts far deeper - Dave's 48-hour clarity exercise — where to do it, the one question to ask, and the word to keep out of your mind entirely - The reframe that turns "I feel selfish for wanting more" into the reason to go all in "Every day you spend in the comfort zone, someone else has to spend it in the discomfort zone." — Dave Conway 🎙️ Want coaching like this on the air?

You lie down, follow every technique, and… nothing. No image, no feeling, no spark. So what's actually blocking it? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway unpack what to do when visualization goes sideways — why the images won't come, why the feeling won't land, and how to thaw a mind that's gone cold to its own imagination. Dave shares the writing practice that carried him through his early struggle, the gratitude exercise that cracked him open in 2017, and the six higher faculties that decide whether you stay stuck replaying the past or start creating something new. Inside the episode: - Why a foreign image gets rejected before you ever feel it — and the "gatekeeper" doing the rejecting - The simple writing practice Dave leaned on when he couldn't hold an image for five seconds - The gratitude block that left Dave feeling like a frozen block of ice — and what finally thawed it - Right brain vs. left brain, the six higher faculties, and the kite-and-strings picture that ties imagination to will "You feed off the images in your mind." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 📘 Visualization Checklist → https://bit.ly/45A9rOP 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

How long can you hold onto the picture of what you want when nothing on the outside agrees with it yet? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway unpack the middle — that stretch between the decision and the result, where there's no proof yet and the pull to quit is strongest. They explain why people rarely give up because they stop wanting the goal — they give up because their desire quietly cools — and what it takes to keep belief alive until the outside world catches up. Inside the episode: - Why wanting evidence is fair — and the kind of believing that carries more power than proof - The "when are you gonna quit?" graph: the 100 obstacles between your decision and the result, and the point where the goal usually gets abandoned - What Dave's hardest season taught him about borrowing belief when your own runs low - The one daily practice that keeps the image alive when nothing outside is confirming it "When people quit, it's not because they want to quit — it's because their desire weakens." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Visualization Checklist → https://bit.ly/45A9rOP 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

What if the habits keeping you stuck aren't habits at all, but a paradigm quietly expressing itself on autopilot? In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway pick up their paradigm conversation where they left off — unpacking what a paradigm really is, why your biggest goal is meant to work like a mirror, and how to disrupt the programming one thought at a time without turning the whole thing into a grind. Inside the episode: - Why a habit is never actually a "thing" — and what it's really the expression of - The one question Dave asked himself countless times a day to catch his paradigm in the act - When to challenge your paradigm hard, and when to stop pushing and harmonize instead - The reason old programming resurfaces under stress — and what keeps it subdued "It's not the real you — it's your programming. And programming can change." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com

Ever chased something bigger and heard a voice ask, "Who do you think you are?" In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway reframe imposter syndrome — not as a character flaw or a sign you're on the wrong path, but as your subconscious rejecting a self-image it hasn't been programmed to hold yet. Dave calls it an "intruder alert" from old programming, which is exactly why it spikes hardest the moment you set a big goal or raise your price. Jacq presses on the real-world side: how to tell fear from intuition, how to handle the identity shift when the people around you still see the old you, and how long the rewiring actually takes. Inside the episode: - Why another certification, degree, or accomplishment won't make the feeling go away - The difference between posturing (lying to others) and reprogramming (telling the truth outwardly while impressing a new self-image inwardly) - The one question Dave asks himself before any big decision - What a former Disney CEO admitted about lying awake wondering if he was good enough "Imposter syndrome isn't personal. It's your programming. And you can change your programming." — Dave Conway 📘 Download the FREE Goal-Setting Guide → https://bit.ly/3NHUSSI 🧠 Get the FREE Visualization Checklist → https://bit.ly/45A9rOP 🌍 Connect with us → www.conwaymentorship.com
