Forget “running on empty” and “feeling overwhelmed”
Forget
running on empty
and
feeling overwhelmed
What if instead of waking up exhausted and already stressed… you woke up feeling energized, in control, and excited to tackle the day?
What if you could turn the overwhelming grind of your days into calm, graceful progress, eliminating endless stress and accomplishing your most ambitious goals with ease?
What if instead of doubting yourself and wondering if it’s even worth it, you knew every step you’re taking moved you towards meaningful success?
Sound familiar to you?
Your alarm clock rings signaling the start of race that seems to have no finish line.
Your morning coffee is still brewing, but the buzzing of your phone has begun with your email inbox filling up faster than you can clear it.
You check your calendar, it’s another checkerboard of back-to-back meetings. Your mind races through the multitude of tasks on your plate worriedly searching for where you will find the time to get them done.
Life quickly turns into a blur of activities – each day mirroring the last. From morning until night, you’re pulled in multiple directions, striving to meet deadlines amongst an endless parade of distractions.
Even at home you aren’t free. Your smartphone, laptop, and even your watch keep you tethered to an endless cycle of notifications. Each ping is a reminder that the world demands a piece of your time, a slice of your energy. Each ping threatens to intrude on the precious moments you have with your family.
This constant busyness can make anyone feel like they’re always playing catch-up, never truly getting ahead. In this whirlwind, ‘busy’ becomes a badge of honor. It’s worn with a mix of pride and exhaustion… but, deep down, you know that being busy doesn’t necessarily mean being productive.
In the rare fleeting moments of quiet, the sense of overwhelm and just keeping your head above water really begins to settle in. You try to clear your mind and enjoy the calm, but those nagging questions trickle back into the mind: Am I truly living, or just merely surviving? Is this what I dreamed of when I envisioned success? Is this even worth it?
Hi, I’m Nick Waggoner, the CEO of GrowthLenses…
For 20 years, I’ve navigated the fast-paced world of high-tech – managing large teams, massive projects, and driving innovation at industry giants like Microsoft. Before I developed the systems and tools to handle it, I too felt crushed by endless tasks, constant notifications, and the relentless race that I couldn’t seem to win.
But, rather than accept it as the price of success, I stepped back and studied the problem. I went deep. I read hundreds of books on the subjects of productivity, psychology, strategy, and leadership. And, I sought core principles so I could master both my professional and personal life.
From that hard earned wisdom, I learned that the life of overwhelm isn’t the only way…
What if you could take back control of your life?
“Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.”
– Tony Robbins
Imagine waking up to a day that feels not just manageable, but energizing. As your coffee brews, you take a moment to savor the aroma and breathe deeply, enjoying the peaceful start to your day before your anticipated excitement begins.
Your phone, once a source of constant stress, now displays a thoughtfully organized list of priorities. The day ahead is clear, with your meetings and activities fitting neatly – no overflow, no overwhelm, no incessant buzzing.
You start your workday with a sense of clarity and purpose. You know that the work you do today will help you achieve your goals and will have a positive impact on those around you. Your meetings are productive and spaced out, with ample time to focus on deep, meaningful work.
Your professional success and personal happiness no longer compete; they are parts of a well-balanced whole. You’ve taken a strategic and sustained approach to crafting your ideal life. You’ve aligned your time, energy, focus, and purpose to bring you a profound sense of fulfillment.
You’re not just surviving each day; you’re thriving. Each day feels purposeful, and you move through it with a clear mind and a joyful heart. This is the life you’ve been striving for, and it’s within your reach.
But let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment and look at how things really are…
“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
The weekend, once a sanctuary, now feels like a fleeting escape. When Sunday evening comes, that same familiar dread is going to creep back in. You might even already feel the weight of the upcoming week pressing down on you.
Think about all the ways you’ve tried to shake this feeling. You might have downloaded productivity apps, hoping a new tool would be the magic fix. Perhaps you’ve read self-help books that promised to change your life in just 30 days. Maybe you’ve attended webinars, seminars, and even bought expensive planners, believing they would finally help you get organized.
But nothing ever seems to stick. The apps are forgotten within weeks, the books gather dust on the shelf, and the planners become just another item on your to-do list. Each new attempt feels promising at first, but soon you find yourself back in the same cycle of overwhelm and stress.
You’ve tried working harder—late nights, early mornings. You’ve sought advice from colleagues and friends, hearing the same generic tips: “Just prioritize better,” or “Learn to say no more often.” But these suggestions don’t help. Instead of feeling more in control, you just end up more exhausted.
The solutions that seem to work for others just don’t work for you, and your frustration continues to build. And so, every Sunday, the dread intensifies and the cycle repeats.
The Missing Piece
Have you ever experienced a moment when you were so deeply focused that time seemed to fly by, and the work felt almost effortless? It’s known as the flow state — a mental state where you are fully immersed in an activity, performing at your best with a sense of ease and enjoyment.
Now, imagine tapping into this state and harnessing it throughout your life. This is what we call Life in Flow, to be truly thriving. Life in Flow isn’t about eliminating effort; it’s about transforming effort into something lighter and more fulfilling. It’s about moving through your days with ease, steadily making significant progress towards your goals while maintaining your sense of fulfillment and joy.
Entering a flow state might seem to happen at random, but Life in Flow doesn’t happen by chance. It’s a learnable skill, with specific strategies and tools that cultivate and maintain the experience – which the truly thriving have figured out.
“Don’t wish it was easier – wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems – wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges – wish for more wisdom.”
– Jim Rohn
The truly thriving link their everyday actions to their biggest goals, ensuring everything they do has a powerful purpose. They’ve developed their capacity as strategic planners. They break big goals into tangible actions while anticipating and mitigating obstacles. Their foresight enables them to navigate their journey with confidence, while clarity and purpose drive them forward.
They also have incredibly focused energy. They know how to distinguish between what’s urgent and what’s important, focusing their efforts on what will have the most significant impact. Instead of reacting to whatever comes their way, they take control of their schedules. They ensure they spend their time on what truly matters.
They’ve learned to manage their mind, and their momentum mindset plays a crucial role in their success. They motivate themselves and act consistently with their goals and purpose even when they don’t feel like it. They’ve adopted Neutral Thinking and embraced the principle that “it takes what it takes” to succeed. They don’t rely on their willpower; they build systems that support their goals.
They routinely employ habits, practices, and tools – their success systems – to ensure they have dynamic and adaptable plans that produce progress. Their systems enable their continuous improvement, renew their energy, lock in their focus, and accelerate them towards their goals.
Finally, the truly thriving have a proactive drive. They understand that taking action, even imperfectly, is essential to progress and success. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment and getting stuck, they take the initiative and move forward. Their proactive approach ensures they learn from their experiences, adapt quickly, and build momentum.
These 5 elements create a Life in Flow. By developing these skills and attributes, you can move through your days with ease. You can make massive progress on your professional and personal goals. You can turn your everyday actions from being mundane to powerfully purposed. It’s within your reach to enjoy a life of energy, growth, and fulfillment. Ultimately, to truly thrive and to enjoy Life in Flow.
5 Differences Between a Life in Flow and an Ordinary Life
Look at the striking differences between a Life in Flow and an ordinary life. Which do you want in your life?
ON TIME
MOST PEOPLE: “How am I supposed to achieve my goals when I’m so busy? I never have enough time. Between work, family, and everything else, it feels impossible to ever get ahead. There’s always something urgent that gets in the way.”
LIFE IN FLOW: “We all have the same 24 hours in a day – but I get more out of my time. I eliminate unnecessary time wasters and my actions move me towards my biggest goals. My time works for me, and I focus on what truly matters.”
ON MOTIVATION
MOST PEOPLE: “I start off feeling really motivated, but it never lasts. I have bursts of energy where I get a lot done, but then I lose momentum and end up back where I started. If only I could stay motivated consistently.”
LIFE IN FLOW: “It’s not about motivation. I do what it takes. I build habits and systems that keep me moving forward. I don’t wait for the perfect moment; I take action in the here and now.”
ON OPTIONS
MOST PEOPLE: “There’s so much I need to do and so many options that I don’t even know where to start. I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it. It’s too much, so I end up procrastinating and not making any progress.”
LIFE IN FLOW: “I know the difference between what’s important and what’s a distraction. I ignore the latest fad and strategically break down my goals so I always know what to do next.”
ON LEARNING
MOST PEOPLE: “Sometimes, I feel like I’m not really learning at all. Even when I do learn something, I’m not always sure how to apply it. It just feels so hard to keep trying, so I end up feeling stuck.”
LIFE IN FLOW: “I am constantly learning and adapting. I continue to become even more effective by systematically making changes to apply what I’ve learned and to remove what’s no longer working.”
ON GOALS
MOST PEOPLE: “I try to set goals, but I’m not sure if they are even the right ones. Sometimes I feel lost, and I wish I could know if I’m on track. When I don’t see progress, I get frustrated and sometimes I even give up.”
LIFE IN FLOW: “I know who I am, where I am going, and what’s important to me. I regularly check in and update my goals so they are constantly a connected part of me.”
ON PRESSURE
MOST PEOPLE: “I constantly feel the pressure to perform – whether for my job, for my family, or even for myself. It makes it hard to stay calm and focused, and I end up feeling stressed and overwhelmed.”
LIFE IN FLOW: “A life without pressure would be boring. I have just the right amount of pressure on me. It’s a signal that I’m on the right track and doing things that are meaningful to me.”
Life in Flow is a hidden advantage that enables the truly thriving to achieve their dreams with grace, while others remain stuck and struggle to understand why.
It took me years to distill the knowledge, practice the application, and many iterations and refinements to discover the foundational skills that distinguish those who thrive with ease. Combined, these skills unlock the life we’ve always wanted.
Real transformation requires understanding and applying core principles to achieve genuine, lasting success. But, most people struggle to get unstuck because they buy into the quick fixes and easy answers they are bombarded with. Are you sick and tired of:
- Feeling constantly overwhelmed and stretched thin
- Struggling to find consistent motivation
- Getting lost in a sea of options and not knowing where to start
- Setting goals but never quite achieving them
- Feeling the weight of pressure and stress without relief
Life in Flow changes everything. It offers a completely different approach. Instead of just struggling to survive…
…Life in Flow lets you transform your life and truly thrive:
- Become someone who progresses smoothly and meaningfully towards your goals
- Be a person with a strong sense of purpose, directing your energy with powerful precision
- Learn how to stay motivated and resilient, effortlessly overcoming obstacles
- Have clarity and focus – translating “stress” into “calm”

“Working with Nick reshaped how I led my team, scaled my impact, and balanced my priorities. He is a caring and strategically minded coach who provides individualized support to create the right mindset shifts – his advice often comes in the form of vivid metaphors that deeply resonate and that make lessons stick.”
— Zarya Faraj
“Nick and I frequently get together to discuss what I want out of life. Nick’s guidance and mentorship over the years has had a tremendously positive impact on my life, both personally and professionally.
One example is when Nick changed the way I look at achieving recognition/promotion. With the simple question, “what can you do to make your manager’s job easier without them asking for it?”… I was able to reframe how I do my job and add activities I knew would benefit my manager (and our department). This resulted in recognition from leadership and significantly strengthened my relationship with my manager. This is a question I now ask every person I come across that is struggling to move up in their current role.
Nearly every concept that Nick and I have discussed I’ve been able to integrate into and improve my life in some way. Nick has developed a process for achieving success and the best part is that it applies to everyone’s unique definition of success.”
— Scott Upton
“It’s rare you come across someone with such a powerful gift of perspective. I’ve known Nick for years and that gift has benefitted me many, many times. There’s no situation in life or in work that Nick can’t help me learn from and turn into a positive growth opportunity.
In fact, that’s the core of Nick’s entire personality – growth. Business growth, personal growth, growth mindset. He has a knack for understanding you, where you need to grow and how to help you get there in a personalized and thoughtful way. There isn’t a conversation or interaction with Nick that I don’t get actionable opportunity from, and I’m incredibly thankful to have that in my life.”
— Thomas Fennel
Some people waste their whole lives stuck.
Others choose Life in Flow.
Let’s have a heart-to-heart for a moment. We’ve talked about the challenges, the dreams, and the solutions. But there’s something we need to address head-on: the cost of doing nothing.
Think about it. What happens if we keep going the way we are? The Sunday dread, the endless to-do lists, the feeling of being perpetually behind—it doesn’t just disappear on its own. We wake up each day feeling the same weight pressing down on us, and it’s exhausting.
We’ve tried different tools, read the books, and attended the seminars. But here we are, still stuck in the same cycle. It’s like running on a treadmill—we’re moving, but we’re not getting anywhere. And that’s not just frustrating; it’s draining our energy and our spirit.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t just about productivity. It’s about our quality of life. Every day we spend overwhelmed and stressed is a day we’re not fully present for our families, not pursuing our passions, not living the life we truly want. The cost of inaction isn’t just measured in missed deadlines; it’s measured in missed moments and missed opportunities.
And what about our health? Stress takes a toll. We feel it in our bodies, in our minds. The late nights, the early mornings, the constant pressure—it adds up. It’s not sustainable, and deep down, we know it. We deserve better.
Imagine looking back a year from now. Do we want to see another year of the same struggles, the same frustrations? Or do we want to see progress, growth, a sense of accomplishment? The path we choose today will shape that future.
We have an opportunity here. An opportunity to break the cycle, to take control, to transform our lives. We’ve talked about the tools and strategies that can make a difference. Now it’s about making the choice to act.
Let’s not let fear or hesitation hold us back. Let’s take a step forward, together, towards a future where we’re not just surviving but thriving. We owe it to ourselves to give it a try, to see what’s possible.
Because the cost of inaction is too high. We’ve come this far, and we’re ready for change. Let’s make it happen.
A year from now, you’re going to be a year older. What are you going to do?
