Most people think they’re failing at their goals because of discipline, strategy, or time. That’s rarely the truth.
In this episode, Michael LeJeune breaks down the real reason high performers still miss their biggest goals: they haven’t assigned enough value to them. Drawing from personal experience, psychology, and real-world examples, Michael explains why vague goals don’t demand action, how comfort quietly sabotages progress, and why every meaningful goal requires sacrifice.
You’ll learn how to get painfully specific about what you want, identify what you’re protecting instead of pursuing, create daily non-negotiables, and design your environment so the right behaviors become automatic.
If you’ve ever wondered why certain goals stay stuck on your list year after year, this episode will help you finally understand why, and what to do about it.

Ep 400: A Look Back at the Last Decade in GovCon and a Look Ahead
Over 400 episodes and a decade in, we step back and ask a big question: how has government contracting really changed, and what is coming next?
In this special fireside chat, Michael LeJeune, Joshua Frank, Rich Earnest, and Tom Prokop break down the shifts that matter. We talk about rising simplified acquisition and micro-purchase thresholds, the VA and contract vehicle strategies, market maturity, and how private equity and M&A have reshaped the competitive landscape.
We also dig into data driven BD with SAM.gov's Data Bank and USAspending, the higher barrier to entry for new GovCon's, and why AI is a powerful tool, not a magic proposal button. Finally, the team shares blunt advice on who should start a government contracting business, how to prepare financially, and what it will take to win over the next ten years.
