Ep124 - What Are You Letting Grow?

If you’re a faith-centered, impact-driven Entrepreneur — a Coach, Consultant, Freelancer, et al — did you know that growing in your business (and your faith) doesn’t have to be a solo sport? Join Dallas and other like-minded people for a free, live weekly Bible study: www.EntrepreneurBibleStudy.com

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
What’s quietly growing in your life right now... and could it be choking out your FUTURE YOU? In this episode, Dallas Amsden takes us from the backyard to the battleground of the mind, using an unexpected springtime metaphor — clover, weeds, and lawn care — to unpack the deeper patterns of growth, neglect, and intentionality in our lives. Whether you're dealing with old habits, limiting beliefs, or thought patterns that are silently overtaking your progress, this episode offers a wake-up call... and a clear path forward.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why weeds don’t need permission to grow—but grass does
- How your lawn and your mindset are more alike than you think
- What your current “mental weeds” might be saying about your past
- The two trajectories in front of you: the FUTURE YOU you want to avoid and the FUTURE YOU you want to become
- How to start pulling toxic thoughts and planting new beliefs

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Neglect is fertilizer for the wrong things
- The FUTURE YOU is cultivated, not automatic
- Weeds = old habits, distractions, and past mindsets
- Grass = values, clarity, calling, consistency, and faith
- If you're not tending to your thoughts, something else is growing in their place
- There are only two paths—cultivate the grass or tolerate the weeds
