EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
What if your FUTURE YOU didn’t wait to “feel like it”—and just got it done? In this episode of the Dallas Daily Show, Dallas Amsden breaks down a powerful truth: consistency doesn’t come from energy... it comes from a decision made in advance. We’re pulling back the curtain on why so many faith-driven entrepreneurs struggle to stay consistent with content, outreach, and mission-critical action—and how to finally break that cycle by anchoring your calendar to your highest self.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why motivation is a myth and decision is your real superpower
- The Calendar Cycle: Rule it, then let it rule you
- The common mistake entrepreneurs make with energy and time management
- How to schedule your week in alignment with your FUTURE YOU
- The identity-based approach to productivity and follow-through

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- FUTURE YOU doesn’t act when they feel like it—they act because they already decided
- Block scheduling isn’t enough without emotional detachment
- Your calendar is a mirror of your commitment—not your busyness
- Energy management > time management
- Trust your schedule more than your emotions
