Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm your host, Paul Alex.

I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.

I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals.

Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six.

Get ready to level up right now.

Welcome back to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex.

And in three minutes, you'll learn simple signs that your effort needs a new aim.

Look, as a former detective, I once chased a lead that felt right.

Okay.

It had heat, but no facts.

A quiet detail later showed the real path.

So I ended up transitioning and the case broke open.

In business, I have chased pretty tasks as well.

Logos, fancy decks, endless tweaks.

It felt like progression, but nothing was moving, guys.

The work that moved the needle was the work that helped people now.

Wrong work is often loud and vague.

Right work is often plain and useful.

See, wrong work drains energy and needs excuses.

Right work gives energy and creates proofs.

Check your results and your spirit.

Do people thank you for the change you made?

Do numbers reflect the story that you told?

Do you feel proud after the day is done?

If not, your aim was wrong.

Okay, this is not shame.

This is data.

You got to change your target with courage.

Shift to the work that serves your mission.

Let go of the tasks that only feed ego.

Hold on to tasks that build trust.

You will feel the click when you're on track.

Doors will open, people will respond, progression shows up.

So here's the moral of this pod, guys.

Aim at what matters or your efforts will miss.
