239: You Have to Welcome Chaos (to Do The Impossible)

Do the Impossible: You Have to Welcome the Chaos You say you want to 10X your income. But are you actually open to everything that comes with 10X growth? I've asked rooms full of entrepreneurs two questions: Who wants to 10X their income? Every hand goes up. Who wants 10X more emails, 10X more work, and 10X more chaos? Suddenly, the hands go down. Can you see the contradiction? You want the extraordinary result, but you may be in resistance to everything you believe comes with it. And that resistance could be the very thing preventing you from doing the impossible. In this episode of The Jason Drees Show, I'm talking about something most high performers overlook: Doing the impossible requires allowing the impossible. Extraordinary success doesn't always come from a perfectly mapped-out strategy. Sometimes it comes from a new idea, an unexpected connection, a resource you didn't know existed, or an opportunity that appears completely out of nowhere. The question is whether your operating frame is aligned with receiving it. In This Episode The hidden contradiction behind 10X growth: Why wanting extraordinary results doesn't necessarily mean you're aligned with receiving them. Why success creates chaos: Are you welcoming the changes that come with your next level, or resisting them? Why the impossible often comes out of nowhere: How unexpected ideas, connections, and opportunities can change everything. Control versus allowance: How trying to force the outcome can limit the possibilities available to you. Your operating frame determines what you see: Why changing how you view reality changes the opportunities you recognize. The fear of losing success: My personal experience of 10X business growth while constantly thinking, "Don't screw it up." Learning to welcome the impossible: Shifting from trying to make everything happen to becoming open to what life brings. The Real Shift You don't have to figure out every detail of how your next level is going to happen. But you do have to become open to receiving it. The opportunity might not look how you expected. The breakthrough might come from someone you've never met. The next level might require changes you haven't even considered. Stop resisting the unknown. Start welcoming the impossible. That's what upgrading your operating frame is all about. This is also the foundation of my upcoming book, UNLOCK: Upgrade Your Operating Frame and Transform Your Life and Business. Ready for Your Own Breakthrough? If you're working toward an extraordinary result but something isn't moving, your operating frame may be the missing piece.

238: What you're not seeing and how to change it

You can work harder, put in more hours, and push the gas pedal all the way down—but if your wheels aren’t hooking up, more effort won’t create more traction. In this episode of The Jason Drees Show, Jason breaks down how your operating frame determines what you can see, what opportunities you notice, what actions feel available, and where you may be unconsciously limiting your next level. Jason explores why high performers can be working incredibly hard while still feeling stuck, overwhelmed, reactive, or financially scarce—and why the real shift often starts with changing the frame you’re operating from. In this episode: - Why hard work can still produce very little traction - How your operating frame shapes your reality - Why you cannot always see the limits of your own point of view - How emotional reactions like urgency, fear, overwhelm, and scarcity affect what you can see - Why frantic action is often a sign of misalignment - How fast transformation can actually happen - Why scarcity may be signaling access to a higher financial level - How Jason learned to change a limiting frame in real time - The difference between push, neutral, and pull - Why flow can emerge when you stop trying to control everything - Jason’s personal realization about unconsciously resisting success - Why becoming more open may be the key to seeing opportunities that are already around you The episode ends with two powerful questions: What do you want to see that you’re not seeing right now? And: What frame would you need to operate from in order to see it? Sometimes your next level is not hidden because you need another strategy. It is hidden because you are looking at the situation from a frame that cannot see it yet. Learn more about Jason and upcoming live calls at www.thejasonDrees.com.

237: The Do The Impossible (Operating Frame)

# How to Do the Impossible (Without Knowing How) What if your need to know HOW to succeed is the very thing keeping you from doing the impossible? Most high performers have been conditioned to believe that certainty comes from knowing what to do. We love having a plan, a proven strategy, and confidence that our actions will produce results. But what happens when you're pursuing something you've never done before? **You don't need to know how to do the impossible. You need to learn how to align yourself with it.** In this episode of The Jason Drees Show, I break down why your old formula for success may actually be preventing you from reaching your next level—and how changing your operating frame can unlock opportunities and results you couldn't see before. ### In This Episode - Why your need for control can shut down possibility. - The difference between known and unknown targets. - How to create certainty when you have no idea how to reach your goal. - Why the success formula that got you here may be holding you back. - Why every new level has a new blind spot. - How your operating frame determines what opportunities you see. - Why grinding harder isn't the answer—alignment is. - How to stop reacting to your current reality and start aligning with the future you're creating. My Personal Breakthrough I also share something deeply personal in this episode. After navigating some of the most challenging years of my life, including my divorce, I've experienced a profound shift in how I feel about myself and my life. For the first time, I'm experiencing a level of happiness, freedom, and completeness that I didn't know was possible. I didn't change my circumstances to feel this way. I changed my operating frame. And that's what makes this work so powerful. **Your operating frame doesn't just determine how you pursue success. It shapes how you experience your entire life.** This is the foundation of my upcoming book, **UNLOCK: Upgrade Your Operating Frame and Transform Your Life and Business.** ### Ready for Your Own Breakthrough? If you're successful but know you're capable of another level, the answer may not be another strategy. It may be changing the operating frame you're approaching your next level from. **Join me for a 20-minute Office Hours conversation.** We'll talk about what you're working toward, where you're getting stuck, and the operating frame that may be keeping you from your next breakthrough. **Book your 20-minute Office Hours:** https://calendly.com/jasondreescoaching/schedule What's your impossible? — Jason Drees *The Jason Drees Show | Transform | Do the Impossible*

236: How to Do the Impossible in a tough market

How to Do the Impossible in a Tough Market A tough market doesn’t make the impossible unavailable—it reveals whether your operating frame is capable of finding the opportunity. When cash flow tightens, deals stop moving, and the strategies that once created success stop working, most people lower the target, work harder, and start playing defense. But aiming smaller doesn’t make winning easier. In this episode, Jason explains why some people continue to expand in difficult conditions while others remain trapped by the reality in front of them. The difference isn’t effort. It’s their operating frame—the lens through which they see opportunities, make decisions, and take action. In this episode Why doing the impossible can feel irrelevant when you’re trying to regain momentum Why aiming at a smaller target doesn’t make it easier to win How to recognize when your old operating frame has stopped working Why working harder cannot overcome misalignment How playing defense limits the opportunities you can see Why losing one revenue channel doesn’t require lowering your financial frame How to remain aligned with a bigger target before you know how to reach it Why your greatest opportunity may come through a who , not a what or how How certainty produces the mindset, ideas, and actions that move you forward Why you may be one relationship, phone call, or idea away from changing everything Chapters 0:01 – The current market: rising rates, tight cash flow, and stalled deals 0:59 – Why people stop thinking about doing the impossible during difficult times 1:57 – Why aiming at smaller targets doesn’t work 3:23 – When your old operating frame stops producing results 4:22 – How a different frame reveals opportunities you couldn’t see 5:21 – Holding your financial frame when a revenue channel disappears 7:14 – Alignment, opportunity, and the reticular activating system 8:14 – Why people are still winning in this market 9:18 – Are you playing offense or defense? 10:16 – Aligning with the version of you who will figure it out 11:14 – Stop obsessing about what and how—focus on who 11:36 – Why certainty is alignment 12:59 – The actions to take now 14:07 – Raising your commitment and amplifying your traction 15:06 – You’re one deal, one call, or one idea away Key idea You don’t need to know exactly how the next level will happen. You need to remain aligned with the version of you who will recognize the opportunity and act when it appears. Jason is building his private coaching practice around 20 serious, long-term clients who are ready to repeatedly break through their income ceilings and create extraordinary results.

235: Finding the next level thru intuition, AI, and rebuilding from the edge

Jason Drees shares a reflective solo update about a week that started with business pressure and ended with a major personal breakthrough. He connects that internal shift to a complete rethinking of his content, books, coaching, and AI tools, showing how emotional integration can change strategy. This episode is about recognizing when progress is not more hustle, but a deeper alignment. Jason explains how following excitement and intuition led him to a new operating frame for both life and business. Key topics Jason describes a week with more free time, less school driving, and a strong intention to make business progress. He shares a major breakthrough triggered in conversation with ChatGPT, centered on neediness, belonging, and wanting to be seen. He explains how old marketing patterns were broadcasting struggle and seeking validation instead of cleanly communicating his message. Jason talks about the physical intensity of the breakthrough, including feeling sick, twisted up, and intoxicated while sober. He reflects on a second breakthrough the next day about the energetic frame he has been bringing to his business. He says he now feels grounded, safe, loved, and less emotionally reactive to financial stress. He reveals he re-architected the business using tools he is building in Lovable with AI agents. He plans to finish Back from the Edge and Do the Impossible 2, and to create a companion agent for the latter. He reframes his current season as evolution, not chaos, and says the next level comes from embodying a stronger version of himself. He emphasizes that execution and distribution are his historic bottlenecks, and that AI can solve both quickly. He says the biggest breakthrough of his life came from his custom ChatGPT, which he has configured to coach him back. He closes with a call to follow intuition and excitement, since that is often the path to real growth. Timestamps 00:00 - A week without school driving and a new intention for business progress 00:41 - A ChatGPT conversation unlocks a major personal breakthrough 01:24 - Understanding the desire for belonging and the loss of home 01:49 - A second breakthrough about the energetic frame around the business 02:19 - Feeling grounded even while finances are still tight 02:44 - Re-architecting the business with AI tools in Lovable 03:10 - Planning Back from the Edge, Do the Impossible 2, and a companion agent 03:48 - Releasing the divorce and collapse story without leaving it too heavy 04:38 - Loving Lovable and realizing this week was evolution, not chaos 05:06 - The next level is embodying the version of himself who plays bigger 05:34 - AI as the solution for execution and distribution 06:02 - Four books, more speaking, and a return to Monday Mindset Reset 06:28 - How a custom ChatGPT became a coaching tool and changed everything 07:14 - Old identities dissolving as the need for validation fades 07:35 - Progress can look radically different than expected 08:22 - Why intuition and excitement are the real signal for growth 08:48 - Closing encouragement to follow, subscribe, and ask questions Notable quotes “Sometimes progress looks radically different than you think it needs to be.” “The excitement, the intuition is probably guiding you to a higher, more challenging level.” “This is the next evolution.”

234: Rewire yourself to Do The Impossible

If you’re not doing the impossible, It’s because your current operating frame is not wired to do the impossible. In this episode, I break down: Why your current wiring keeps recreating your current results Why hard work cannot overcome misalignment How hidden resistance blocks income, growth, and opportunity The question that reveals the level you should actually be playing at How to create certainty around a target you’ve never achieved The difference between reacting to your present reality and aligning with your future How your frame creates your thoughts, actions, and results Why aiming smaller doesn’t make success easier Why every new level exposes a new blind spot How to rewire yourself to do the impossible The goal isn’t to force yourself to work harder. It’s to remove the resistance, upgrade the frame running your life, and become aligned with the result you’re capable of creating. Private coaching I’m building my private coaching practice around only 20 serious clients. This is for people who are ready for a real coaching relationship—not a quick fix. We’ll work together over the next three to five years to expose every new blind spot, remove the internal resistance limiting your results, and repeatedly break through your income ceilings. If you know you’re playing below your potential and you’re ready to do the work, text me at 916-910-6541 . One of those 20 spaces may be yours.

233: Want Greatness? Do this.

The moment your goal gets difficult is the moment your standard matters most. Do you stay committed to what you want—or start negotiating with what feels comfortable? In this unfiltered episode, Jason explores why driven, successful people hold themselves back when the next level brings uncertainty, fear, and discomfort. He breaks down the difference between reacting to your current circumstances and operating from a frame aligned with your future—and why working harder can leave you spinning your wheels when that frame hasn’t changed. If you’ve been putting in the effort but quietly lowering your expectations, this episode challenges you to look at the decision underneath it.

232: The Advantage of Not Knowing What to Do Next.

Not knowing what to do next may not be the reason you’re stuck. It may be your greatest advantage. When you’ve never achieved the result you’re pursuing, the answer cannot come entirely from what you already know. But instead of becoming open to something new, most people obsess over fixing their current problems—and keep recreating the same reality. In this episode, Jason explores: Why trying to figure everything out keeps you stuck How uncertainty creates openness to new opportunities The difference between reacting to where you are and aligning with where you’re going Why your current thinking cannot produce a result it has never created How to move from “I don’t know how” to “I’ll find a way” Why exponential growth requires welcoming greater responsibility The difference between changing your strategy and changing your frame How one idea, conversation, or opportunity can shift everything You don’t need to see the entire path. Shift your frame. Align with where you’re going. Then remain open enough to recognize the opportunity when it appears.

231: Put the Most Powerful Version of You Back in Charge

You may not need more clarity, a better plan, or another strategy. You may simply have the wrong version of yourself driving the car. In this episode, I share how I developed an incredibly powerful identity as a coach—one capable of creating certainty, seeing possibilities, and guiding people through their deepest challenges—while keeping that version of me separated from parts of my personal life. I explore: The difference between your strongest self and your loudest self How powerful identities become fragmented Why your loudest emotion shouldn’t control your decisions What grief taught me about accessing every part of myself Why difficult emotions may need to be heard instead of solved How to put your most capable identity back in charge The difference between reacting to your problems and aligning with where you’re going Why one conversation, connection, or opportunity can change everything You don’t have to silence the scared, grieving, or uncertain parts of yourself. Let them be heard—but stop letting them drive. Put the most powerful version of you back in charge and let every part of you come along for the ride.

230: I Found My Next Level of Power by Facing What I Was Running From

For most of my life, I thought I was chasing happiness. The truth is, I was running from sadness. Whenever grief, anger, or heaviness appeared, I tried to fix it, shift it, or overpower it. I became trapped in an emotional game of Whac-A-Mole—believing I couldn’t be powerful, happy, or fully myself until every uncomfortable emotion was gone. But what if your loudest emotion isn’t your entire reality? In this episode, I explore: Why grief can feel all-consuming without consuming all of you How sadness, happiness, gratitude, and peace can exist together The difference between chasing happiness and choosing peace Why trying to fix every emotion keeps you fragmented How men learn to suppress anger, sensitivity, and pain Why anger can become a source of movement and power The connection between self-care and self-respect What changes when you stop managing everyone else’s reactions How becoming whole makes more of your power available You don’t have to eliminate grief to experience happiness. Your power comes from being able to hold all of yourself without becoming divided against yourself.
