Ever wonder why so many fail to truly succeed despite having great ideas and working hard? This week, we sit down with Phil Portman — serial entrepreneur, host of Let’s Talk Success, and member of the Forbes Technology Council — who reveals the truth about what drives real, lasting success.
Phil candidly explains that having ideas alone doesn’t create success; execution is the true queen of achievement. He outlines three essential keys that separate those who get things done from dreamers: clear goals, healthy habits, and unwavering confidence. With simple, proven tactics for goal setting, Phil shares how writing down your goals and sharing them with accountability partners boosts your likelihood of success by 33 to 140 percent.
Balancing the demands of work, family, and life is critical, and Phil offers practical advice on maintaining momentum without burning out. Above all, he emphasizes persistence and a “figure it out” mindset as the most powerful force you can harness to overcome fear, failure, and limiting beliefs on your entrepreneurial and leadership journey.
Whether you’re taking your first steps or scaling up your impact, this episode provides a battle-tested roadmap to reclaim your time, energy, and win big on your terms.
