Heroes!
Michael here.
We’re officially 33 days into 2025.
Which is an important data point because…
Do you know how long it takes for the average American to give up on their New Year’s resolutions?
32 days.
According to a recent study, the average American gives up on their New Year’s resolutions THIRTY-TWO days into the year.
That was yesterday.
How about YOU?
No matter what’s happened to your year so far, know this:
It’s ALWAYS Day 1.
Over the past few weeks, (in addition to all of the goodness with Heroic Elite!) we’ve been laying the foundation to help EVERYONE make 2025 THE absolute best year of your lives.
More on that soon, with special updates and exciting news for all Heroic Coaches and Heroic Workshop Instructors.
For now…
Let’s get to the three (plus one!) highlights from this week!

1. Activating Organizational Excellence
Earlier this week, we were blessed with the opportunity to join the Mariner Wealth Advisors annual National Advisor Meeting to celebrate graduating Mariner Heroic Coaches, hear extraordinary stories of transformation, and get inspired from Brian and Marty.

Mariner CEO and COO, Marty and Cheryl Bicknell (Level 3 Certified Heroic Coaches and our biggest Heroic investors!), are extraordinary humans and leaders.
It’s an honor to serve a role in helping them “positively impact the lives of many.”
As Guy recently shared on social: “I’m closing in on my one year anniversary with the best company I’ve ever worked for in my life. The culture is the most critical, foundational aspect of a company for me personally after decades with firms where it quite honestly was not. Period. I found that here. The honeymoon is far from over. 😎 During my search process I was blessed to attend their national meeting and meet a speaker named Brian Johnson whose work has since changed my life.”
We can’t wait to see how the team at Mariner continues to grow under the Heroic leadership of Marty and Cheryl.

2. Featured Class: Habits 101
How to discover your superpower and install your #1 habit.
As we make our way into February, are your New Year’s Resolutions feeling activated and plugged-in? Or more like a distant memory?
Whether you want to reinforce the momentum you’ve been building or start fresh, Habits 101 is chock-full of goodness to help you build the daily behaviors that help you show up at your best.
As Aristotle tells us: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act but a HABIT.”
It’s not about living at your best every once in a while. It’s about rockin’ it day in and day out. Making it who you are. A habit. That’s what this class is all about.
We’ll help you identify and install your #1 keystone habit while learning how to tap into your superpowers and create habits that will change your life.
Ready? Watch Habits 101 today.
3. Community highlights
A few favorites from another week of moving from Theory to Practice to Mastery, Together!!!
- Chris’ second Heroic Workshop: “Only complaint was ‘it could have been longer’ so I’m thinking they enjoyed the experience. Now to get that certification in hand and get more Heroes trained! LET’S GO!”
- Kimi on the power of commitment: “I’m a little late to the party but super excited to be joining Elite Class 1! Biggest takeaway today was really feeling the magic of the committed life and power of throwing my knapsack over the wall! Seriously everything around me today was extra sparkly and radiant and vibrant. And I know all that energy is coming from me!”
- Bob speaking on stage about Heroic’s impact: “What an honor to talk about the impact Heroic has had on me during our national confrerence this week. Shared the stage with fellow Heroic Coaches and colleagues, Amy and Lisa!”
So… Where are you on your Heroic quest?
We’d love to hear you share about it on social. 🙌
+1. Wisdom from the week:
“It’s too bad that so much time has been wasted, but it would be unforgivable to wait any longer. You have the ability to contribute so much. We need you, now.”
