Who is Travia Steward?
Travia Steward shows people how to stop watching their life go by because they're either too afraid to take action or don't know what action to take. Most people are more willing to remain comfortable than to rise and go for it!
Key Takeaways
1. Being stuck is often the result of not having someone who can help you see where you are stuck
2. Sometimes we can't change as we have a fixed mindset and that needs external viewpoints to move.

SPEAKERS
Stuart Webb, Travia Steward
Stuart Webb 00:24
Hi, welcome back to five questions over coffee with Travis Stewart today. Travis is a breakthrough coach, I'm really looking forward to hearing. I'm hearing some of the story that Troy has about became a breakthrough coach because it is passionately I've seen it on the website Travia Welcome to It's not rocket science, five questions over coffee. I hope you're there with your drink ready a hand.
Travia Steward 00:48
I am Stuart, thank you so much for having me. I got a nice Four Sigmatic cup of coffee. And so yeah, I'm ready to go.
Stuart Webb 00:57
I wish I wish I could drink. It's afternoon for me, I wish I could drink coffee in the afternoon. I will be up all night. But that's not about me. It's a tribute. Tell us something about the sort of people that you work with? What are the problems that they that they are suffering with that, that you're trying to help
Travia Steward 01:14
them with? Right? So I primarily work with both men and women, probably more women than men. But you know, people have been asking me, you know, my business coach is like, are you going to niche down and get more specific, but the clients that I have that come to me that I'm able to make a difference in their life, they are stuck. They are reactive to everyone around them. You know, I call it giving other people control of your thermostat. Like we were talking before the call like the, you know, our temperature thermostat in the house. It's like we give people permission to piss us off all the time. So I you know, help them control their own thermostat. But what happens is the people that I work with, they just one day have looked in the mirror and said, You know what? This is? I think there's just more. And so I help them peel back the layers of well, what does that more look like? What area of life is that more that you want? And I help them go after and achieve that. And that's what I do. And so like one woman described it, as, you know, trading, I'm sort of in a holding pattern, I help them get out of that holding pattern and take take action on their life.
Stuart Webb 02:25
Okay, I think you know, if that's the, if the niche is people who are stuck, that's the niche. That's right. So so so tell me, what are the things that some of those people have done before they seek help that haven't maybe worked for them? Or, you know, what, what are the, you know, people listening at the moment saying, I think I recognise it, what are they likely to have found themselves trying to do?
Travia Steward 02:47
Right? You know, and it's a lot of the same things that I found myself doing when I had the proverbial moment of looking in the mirror. I read books, I went on Amazon, I started doing conference after conference, you know, I did a lot of self help. But what I found was, those were band aids. And those were things that fix it temporarily, but did not get to the core of, well, why are you there to begin with? And so what I find is everybody tries to fix it and go, okay, and then we try to fix all the things at once, you know, I'm just going to fix my life. But you know, instead of going, well, maybe let's look at our health. Okay, maybe it's the relationship, maybe it's me. And so that's what I find that they're just trying to, you know, encompass every single thing at one time. And it's just, it's self help. I got this, I can do this. But we can't see our own blind spots. You need someone to see what you can't see.
Stuart Webb 03:38
Yeah, that's the old Johari Window, if I remember rightly, isn't it's, it's you there are there are certain things which you just do, which you just cannot find for yourself, somebody has to be looking in you and sort of pointing out, you know, do you realise in a certain situation, this is the behaviour you exhibit? You know, because you obviously, you're behaving in a particular way.
Travia Steward 04:01
Right, exactly. That's a good way to put it.
Stuart Webb 04:04
I love Yeah, it's, it's, it's something that was said to me a long time ago now. And somebody sort of did point something out. And I went, No, that's not right. You've got to be okay. And then I eventually realised you might have a point. And you sometimes you need somebody who just is got that sort of view, and your best interests at heart to just say, I think you ought to be aware of something.
Travia Steward 04:24
Absolutely. Yeah. Because I mean, we can't there's so many things we can't see. Because so many times I'm like, Oh, I didn't do that. Oh, here, you know what, here's my phone, look at the video. You Oh my god, I did do that. You know, for some reason, we have selective memory sometimes, right? Sometimes we just don't know.
Stuart Webb 04:44
So I think you've got a great free resource that can help us with some of the triggers. So so I'm gonna just put something on the screen now which I which I was gonna come up. Yes. Yeah. So this is a great resource that I think can help people who are in that position at the moment and would really love to sort of get get to somewhere different, tell us about this valuable free action.
Travia Steward 05:05
So this is my breakthrough to greatness guy. And what I have found in my work is that in the very beginning it as it takes you through a quiz of this, you know, your with your mindset, is it fixed? Is it growth, because, first of all, if we don't know, if we're stuck, like, I remember, when my mom was still alive, my mom, my mom was a diabetic. And she would call me she lived in New Orleans, and she would say, you know, and she'd be she, Hey, man, how you doing? And she'd be smacking in my ear? And I was like, What are you doing? You know, what are you eating, you're smacking, and she's like, Oh, I'm eating pecan pie. But you're diabetic. And she goes, I know, I'm just gonna take an insulin shot. I'm too old to change. Right? So that was an example of her having a fixed mindset. So if we don't know where we are to begin with, and we're so fixed and stuck in our ways, then the rest of the guys aren't even going to help us. Right? So then it's a it's a matter of looking at, what are the things that you really want to do, that you're fearful of? Where does that fear come from? And so he's just asked is just a very simple like three page guide. That's the beginning the foundation of, you know, let's start thinking about where I am. And what is it that stopping me, and this is an example of this is some quick action that you could take that goes, Okay, I want to get out there and write that book. But I'm afraid of what I'm afraid because my friends are going to say this, I'm afraid it's going to expose me to whatever that is. But it helps you to get down to the fear of what is that thing that's stopping you? And then a little bit of affirmation, work a little mindset work as to, okay, if I'm gonna step out and do that thing. What am I going to do? How am I going to take the action and able to do that? So it's just a quick thing. You know, I know people don't like long, you know, ebooks or anything like that. So it's just, it's a quick, it's a breakthrough guide that could start them on their journey.
Stuart Webb 07:02
Like the idea of a breakthrough guide. That's a really good one. That's a good one, as there been a particular book or course programme in your life that has affected you and taking you on this journey that you you'd like to share with us.
Travia Steward 07:15
You know, this is, this is the guy that did it, right. I picked up his high performance habits, Brendon Burchard. And everything about what Brendan stood for. I immediately loved like, this was a time in my life when I was still teaching high school theatre. And I, you know, looked in the mirror and said, There's got to be more than this, because I kind of, you know, run that full race. And it was time to switch chapters. And I picked up his book. And then you know, what you do is you go Google, oh, there's a conference coming to Phoenix. Oh, my goodness, wonderful. So I went to his conference. And I just started eating everything, just eating drinking Brendon Burchard. And he was the one that really lit that fire under me, initially. And it was his book, high performance habits, that really opened the door and said, Hey, welcome to my world. So yeah, it's him. And it's that book.
Stuart Webb 08:15
Everybody needs to file it somehow. Everybody needs.
Travia Steward 08:20
So good, so good. Yes. And he liked and he likes it, you know, and I've always said that when I come full circle, you know, and I'm throwing it out to the universe. Here we go. That I, you know, my first taste of being extraordinary. And being in the company of extraordinary people was at his High Performance Academy. And so to come full circle and a full evolution, declaring that I will speak on Brendon Burchard stage, and so that is the fire and then that's when I feel like oh my goodness, it's the full evolution, right of this journey for me.
Stuart Webb 08:55
When's that gonna happen? When's that gonna happen?
Travia Steward 08:59
You know, I would love for it to happen in the next three years. Terrific. Well, that's not
Stuart Webb 09:04
something to pin. Yes, people. Three years time, we'll all be going and we'll be in that comfortable listening to track you're taking us through the journey that she's been on. And maybe she'll only do it for the first part, and she'll leave the three years from now until then it's all a second speech.
Travia Steward 09:22
Oh, I love it. I love it.
Stuart Webb 09:25
So there's there must be a question. You're suddenly thinking trivia that you're thinking, Well, why isn't he asked me about this? Because that's the real real question that really helps to focus them on what is the question that you'd like us to have discussed? And please, when, when you've asked it, answer it for us as well.
Travia Steward 09:41
Absolutely. So as I was talking about what the breakthrough guide, you know, the question would be someone's listening right now. And they're like, Okay, yeah, I've done the whole thing in the mirror. But where do I start? How do I begin to take action? That breakthrough guide will help but also The question is, where do I start? You take a life audit, if we had to go through the major areas of our life, like I would want someone to go, Okay, if I considered my life a 10, a 10, out of 10 being the best it could ever be, which area am I going to start with? And so it would be okay with my relationship with my marriage? Is it a 10? out of 10? Well, you know, it's a four because we're not communicating. Right. So what about my health? Do I feel good? Do I have the physique that I want? Well, you know what, that's an eight. Yeah, absolutely. What about my job? Do I love my job? Absolutely. That's a seven. So then if you're taking a life audit and go, Okay, if my lowest number, my lowest score is a four out of 10, that's where I should start. I should start where there's a bigger gap, there's a bigger deficit, so that we're not trying to run the whole gamut and trying to solve and fix everything one time, because most people are like, if I just fix him, I'm going to be I'm going to fix everything in my life. What's not true a lot of times it's not. So it's starting and choosing in one specific area. Let's start there. And then sometimes it's picking that area that goes, You know what, this one thing if I fix this with me, that can be a domino effect that could improve communication, improve my health, give me more discipline, give me more motivation, all the things. So I would say, where do I start? You start with a life audit auditing, where in your life you want to fix.
Stuart Webb 11:29
That is a really good piece of advice, JB I like that I like Ford, it is a well, it's a it's a frightening prospect as well, because that will expose them all of those things that you're thinking that something was gonna be fixed. And then challenge yourself to get the help you need in order to make those make those big breakthroughs, breakthrough to those those massive actions that you need in order to take to perform and perform
Travia Steward 11:56
