Julio Furtado’s Post

Grant Cardone: "Success is not something that happens to you; it’s something that happens because of you and because of the actions you take." This insight underscores the fact that success isn't a passive occurrence or a fortunate accident but a direct result of our efforts, strategies, and resilience in the face of challenges. It’s a proactive creation, sculpted by our own hands through the choices we make and the actions we execute. Adopting this mindset can fundamentally alter how we approach our professional lives. It transforms challenges into opportunities for growth, setbacks into lessons, and aspirations into actionable goals. Understanding that we are the architects of our success empowers us to take initiative, embrace responsibility, and drive forward with purpose and determination. Furthermore, this perspective fosters a culture of accountability and self-efficacy. When we acknowledge that our actions are the bedrock of our achievements, we are more inclined to set meaningful goals, persist through difficulties, and seek continuous improvement. This not only elevates our individual careers but also contributes to the vibrancy and dynamism of our workplaces. In a world that often emphasizes the end result over the journey, it’s vital to remember that the path to success is paved with diligence, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to our goals. Each of us has the potential to shape our professional destiny, to transform our aspirations into reality through the power of our actions. As professionals, we must challenge ourselves to be the catalysts of our own success stories. Let’s cultivate a mindset that embraces growth, values persistence, and recognizes the transformative power of our actions. By doing so, we can not only achieve our own definitions of success but also inspire those around us to pursue their aspirations with confidence and determination. Let this be a call to action for all of us: to step up, lean into our potential, and actively craft the successful future we envision for ourselves. Here’s to becoming the architects of our own success, one action at a time. #Leadership #PersonalDevelopment #SuccessMindset #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 - 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂? One moment, you’re the rock everyone leans on- the leader, the decision-maker, the one with all the answers. The next? The rug is ripped out. A redundancy notice. A slammed door. A role you gave everything to, gone in an instant. It’s not your failure - it’s theirs. But let’s not sugarcoat this: the freefall is real, and it hits hard. Here’s the truth about women like you: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂. But let’s be real - it’s not just about bouncing back. It’s about standing your ground when everything feels like quicksand. → The fear of what’s next. → The doubt whispering, “What if I can’t?” → The ache of pretending you’ve got it together when you know you don’t. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. The silent suffering, the pressure to keep it together, the mask you wear - it’s not helping. Clarity doesn’t come from faking it. It comes from stopping the freefall, taking back your power, and building what comes next - on your terms. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀. Inside my 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺, there’s no fluff, no waiting. We cut through the noise, reclaim control, and build a future aligned with who you are. Here’s what we’ll do: → Rebuild your confidence by anchoring to your values and strengths. → Create a roadmap that turns uncertainty into opportunity. → Reclaim your power so you step into your next chapter as the bold, aligned leader you’ve always been. This isn’t about finding the silver lining. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲. Your Move. Staying stuck isn’t an option. The longer you wait, the heavier “what’s next” becomes.

Seats are limited - because transformation requires focus, attention, and care. You don’t have to do this alone. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 - 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

Climbing the ladder of success is great. Unless it’s leaning against the wrong wall. It’s easy to get caught up in working hard, ticking boxes, and chasing goals.

What’s the bigger dream? This is what fuels the new structure not only for your business but your lifestyle, your relationships, your experiences, your health/fitness, the cool shit you want to do more of. Many of the business leaders I work with have built a structure that on paper makes them ‘successful’ already. But there’s something more that they want than just on paper success. Maybe it’s just continuing to push their edges on peak experiences and adventures simply because they know they more in the tank to give. Some it’s wanting to take a step back from being the bottleneck and have more personal time where everything can run without them being ON and plugged in all the time. Some it’s a case of having new and exciting personal goals and visions they want to focus on outside of business. Some just want to push more in what they’re already doing and know they need to create a bigger internal capacity to handle all those new challenges to come. Some have neglected their health and relationships to get to where they are and now want to learn how to spin ALL the plates without thinking they have to sacrifice one area. Some want to simplify their life and business, do less while being even more productive. Whatever it may be for you. The first step is to get emotionally fucking involved in your life and re-connected to a bigger dream that doesn’t always involve push harder and do more. It’s a term I call simplifying the battlefield. It needs something that gets your juices flowing and gets that fire in the belly lit up again. And it doesn’t mean adding more to your plates. Quite the opposite. What can we get rid of to make space so you’re not overwhelmed with even more responsibility? What’s the structure and plan so you can do and have ALL the things without the false thinking that you have to let one area slide for another to move forward. There is a point you get to where simplification is the goal. It’s not as hard as people think. In fact I often have a good laugh with my clients at how easy it can be. Yes it still involves work and action. But you’re accustomed to that from what you’ve already built. It’s time for a new structure and adventure to be created. I’m taking a group of leaders through this on Jan 20th for 6 weeks. Comment SIMPLIFY or DM for more details and see if you may be a good fit.

As we move through Q3, there’s a trend I see across businesses everywhere: complacency sets in. It’s easy to fall into routines, getting caught in the familiar pace of the year, and before we know it, we’re coasting. Many wait until January, filled with resolutions and fresh starts, to pick up momentum again. But why wait? If you’ve lost sight of the goals you set in January, consider this: What if you used this moment to realign? Instead of waiting for the new year, think ahead to the goals you want to set in January and start working toward them now. The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn’t as wide as it feels—sometimes, it’s just a matter of taking that first small step today, not tomorrow. In my years of experience, I’ve seen firsthand that the most successful businesses and leaders don’t rely on the rush of new year motivation to create change. They build systems of consistency that carry them through every quarter. That’s where real growth happens—in the quiet moments of discipline, not in the loud bursts of inspiration. The truth is, results come from the actions you take before the resolutions kick in. They come from understanding that momentum isn’t something to wait for—it’s something you can create. I believe in turning the motivation of a new year or season into a steady foundation, one that carries you through the entire year with intention and purpose. If you’re ready to break the cycle of complacency and turn your Q3 into a launching pad for sustainable growth, let’s connect. Together, we can build consistency that lasts and results that speak for themselves. #LeadershipDevelopment #BusinessGrowth #Q3Momentum #GoalSetting #ConsistencyIsKey #EntrepreneurMindset #SuccessStrategies #ResultsDriven #GrowthMindset #MotivationToAction #BusinessConsulting #FutureFocused #PerformanceMatters #StrategicPlanning #ExecuteYourVision

It is that time of year when we visibly see change in action. Nature shows us the way. Like redwood trees, we deepen roots, harden our bark, self-prune, and regenerate. We adapt to thrive. For those frustrated with all the constant changes in your organization -- hang in there -- that is how transformation works. "This is a time of transformation, and transformation comes not out of scarcity but out of the context of possibility, responsibility, and sufficiency" -- Lynne Twist Question: what changes are you making to move yourself and your organization forward?

The Worst Advancement Operations are U-Shaped You surround yourself with people like you You reward people who reinforce your you-ness You stage golf tournaments because you like golf or put on galas because you like gala-ing, never mind the use of staff time and talent or more strategic, productive alternatives You cultivate personal relationships with the right people to benefit you not the organization you supposedly represent You hire friends or those you like to chum around with as consultants, and you have plenty of money to spend on them You accept suggestions that second what you already believe You nix ideas and initiatives if they don't suit you or your world view You talk about what you caused people to do, as if they wouldn't have done good things without you You don't like change so you express worry about, and see endless downsides in, anything new, innovative or adaptive You're the wit or wizard at every meeting, at least by your telling You keep your job for a long time because everything that goes right is about you and everything that goes wrong is about anyone but you You leave a deep imprint by building so much around you and creating so much dependence on you So when you finally move on, after organizing tributes to you, some poor soul has to come in and try to unbend your u-shaped dynasty and turn the organization into one that listens, loves, learns, empowers, responds and serves - that is if your u-shaped organization isn't too far gone and if your successor isn't too soon blamed for the myopic muddle you left behind.

𝐀 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬! We often hear stories of "𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘦" individuals who seemingly conquered the world alone. But is that really the full picture? Marshall Goldsmith challenges this notion, emphasizing that asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a game-changer for achieving unprecedented success. At the heart of this concept is the Life Plan Review (LPR), a powerful tool for personal growth and accountability. LPR makes us answerable to others regularly, bridging the gap between our actions, ambitions, and aspirations. This process transforms our lives, making them more meaningful and rewarding. Consider this wisdom from management guru Peter Drucker: "𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘬." This shift in perspective is crucial. Those who resist seeking help not only limit themselves but also miss out on incredible opportunities to live an "earned life." The truth is, there's no such thing as truly "self-made." While you might achieve some success on your own, reaching the highest levels of achievement and making life truly worth living requires reaching out, seeking help, and learning from others. Are you ready to take your life and career to the next level? The price of admission to this transformative journey is simple yet profound: Acknowledging "I want to get better, and I need help." Don't let pride or fear hold you back. Embrace the power of collaboration and mentorship. Your future self will thank you. #TheTechHealer #HappyMonday #PersonalGrowth #LifePlanReview #AskForHelp #ServiceDrivenLeadership

Winning teams and organisations don’t leave success to chance—they have clear systems and processes they consistently refine and optimise. That’s how they deliver outstanding results time and time again. Observing this in high-performing teams inspired me to apply the same principles in my own life. I realised that success, whether personal or professional, requires a clear structure that evolves over time. Now, I help others do the same by guiding them to create their own winning formula. For us as individuals, this formula is what keeps us focused and delivering at our best without burning out. To build it, we need to be crystal clear on our values and vision. When we understand what truly matters and where we’re headed, we can fine-tune our approach, let go of what doesn’t serve us and stay adaptable as we work toward the bigger picture. #winningformulas #optimisation #relentless #impact #wellness #mindsetcoach
