Five Simple Steps to Take Action Part 1 | Begin Again: How Belief Sets the Foundation for Action

The Coach Matthew Mitchell Show

Welcome to The Coach Matthew Mitchell Show! We’re declaring July as Action Month—a time to reflect, refocus, and take bold, meaningful steps toward our goals for the second half of 2025.
In this kickoff episode, Coach Mitchell guides you through a mid-year checkup the Winning Tools way. You’ll revisit the five foundational areas of life—spirit, emotions, physical well-being, professional pursuits, and fun—and reflect on what you’ve accomplished so far while setting fresh goals for what’s ahead.
Then we move into the first step in our five-part Action Series:
BELIEF.
Using the acronym BEGIN (Belief. Evaluate. Gratitude. Impact. Next step.), this series will equip you to confidently move forward.
In today’s episode, Coach breaks down belief into three essential elements:
Proof – You don’t have to be perfect, just possible. One small success is evidence you can.
Preparation – Belief grows when you put in the reps. Get the plan, do the work.
Persistence – Keep going, no matter what. This is where discipline wins.
You’ll also hear how the University of Houston women’s basketball team is cultivating belief with proof on the court—and how you can apply those same principles in your own life.
This message will reignite your confidence and remind you that beginning is the most powerful thing you can do. So let’s review, reflect, and take the first step together.
