The Secret Sauce Podcast

No L's in 2026

L's stand for losses, and statistically speaking, only 5% of people who set out to accomplish something this year will do it.

 

Almost half of the population will have given up on their aspirations by the time you listen to this episode.

 

My goal is to equip you to win in 2026 with this gameplan:

- Pause

- Probe

- Picture

- Perform

 

We'll unpack each of these steps to set ourselves up for success this year.

 

Stay Saucy!

The Secret Society of Success with Tim Schurrer

What's your definition of success? C-suite title? A house in the neighborhood everybody wants to live in? Blue check mark by your Instagram? Hitting your revenue target? $ amount in your bank account?

None of these things are bad, but anyone who's chased and attained them as their end game would tell you they're incredibly fleeting.

But what if there were a different kind of success? One that gave you the sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that none of these other things could.

Well, it exists, and there's no better person in the world to talk about it than Tim Schurrer.

Tim joins us to share transformational stories from his own life and the lives of others in the secret society of success.
