A friend of mine shared this today in another group: "YOU are the ONLY person you need to change your life. You have all the tools and resources you need to start right now." The message was paired with the image below; well-meaning, but critically flawed. While I agree with the intention, the fact is many, perhaps most, people struggle with motivation, action, and the knowledge necessary to succeed on their journey. Be mindful of memes that sound wise, raise your hopes, but leave you stuck; mired in overwhelm, procrastination, and self-doubt. An experienced and knowledgeable coach, guide, or mentor can provide the support you really need. While YOU are undoubtedly key to the process and must certainly be engaged in it, do not be seduced by meaningful sounding words that do not deliver on their promise!

Sometimes time gets away from us...! Right now, I'm spending my time working on a book. I'm so many chapters deep that I'm at the excited point! I've got Book One up for free on SubStack, come check it out https://casstastrophe.substack.com/ What have you been doing with your time lately?

Starting on Tuesday, November 24, I am offering a weekly live Zoom $2 Tuesdays lunch with Steve which starts at noon CT and runs for about 1 hour. While not global coverage those in the U.K. might call it "High Tea with Steve". Mileage (or Klicks) in the rest of the world may vary. Purchase your access in the classroom. I am also launching my first 24 hour "Motivational Marathon" shortly. Maybe it should be 26 hours and 12 minutes! I will be looking for a handful of collaborators to help cover blocks of time.

Big changes are happening and more big changes are coming! Watch for updates. Visual/branding changes are mostly obvious. Naming, text, and context will be explained shortly. Watch for coming announcements. Questions and comments are welcomed.

I am Stephen B. Henry, founder of Your Pathway To Growth, a learning and mentoring community for creators, coaches, and solopreneurs ready to align purpose with progress. Our mission is simple: real growth, guided by experience, powered by conversation. Inside the community, we blend proven business strategy with personal development and mindset work, helping members turn scattered effort into steady achievement, without the noise or hype that fills so much of the online space. I believe growth should feel clear, intentional, and supported, not chaotic. The best results come from guidance, genuine exchange, and shared experience. If that resonates, let us connect. Whether we collaborate, exchange ideas, or simply trade encouragement, there is always room for another voice committed to meaningful progress.
